I really think the campaign is much to railroady. I on the other hand like the historical und cultural information.
Regarding the railroad part and the comments of users denying it, since there are different solutions for the scenarios: Yes there are and imho the single scenarios are really ok but how they are stringed together is ,to be frank, not good. Visions to pester the playerrs, penalities for not following the plot and if the players fail, the plot always moves on as intended. These are gamemaster tools right from the early 90s.
As I like the scenario and the ideas and details of the authors work I have to admit I am really disappointet of the whole campaign, because it could have been really great. ...

Fae's Anatomy is a ten-dollar joy engine that's easy to learn, quick to teach, and promises to deliver a full scenario in three hours or less. The logic puzzle at its core provides a dramatic framework, but the real fun comes from your table improvising their way through a fantasy omni-universe, filling the world with whimsy and caprice en route to saving the patient. Or failing to save the patient, bringing the patient back to life, and then saving the patient. New players will enjoy dipping their toes into RPGs without memorizing 300 pages of lore, rules, and exceptions to rules; older players will enjoy a well-earned break from hard crunch....
I can't recommend this enough. This is a crystalline distillation of the best concepts of ICRPG (also inspired by mobile computer gaming) in order to create a brilliant melding of system and setting that is fun, action oriented, colorful and exciting. And the best part is the system SRD and license is included so you can use it for your own projects. The setting itself -SciFi grimdark post-apocalypse on Earth and in Orbit - is painted in broad strokes so you have ample opportunity to customize it to your own liking. ...
This is an excellent concept for a monk in 5e that makes me really want to roll up a character to play. It seems like it's well balanced, based on the monks I've seen friends play, and the document is both quick to read and beautifully made. I look forward to checking out other Lone Colossus Games products.

I played this as a newcomer to Chaosium Inc. and Call of Cthulhu. I enjoyed the clarity and simplicity in the writing and instructions. You can build your character as you begin the adventure, so this is a great tool to learn how to make a character in this RPG system. I enjoyed the vivid descriptions, as these helped me paint a mental picture of the story, characters, and actions while I played. Growing up on choose you own adventure stories, Alone Against The Flames was a real treat for me. Depending on whether or not you take notes as you play (and anything else, such as agonizing over what you want your character to do), you should be able to enjoy completing this solo adventure under 2 hours. I recommend this to new players wanting to learn more about Chaosium Inc.'s Call of Cthulhu RPG....

This guide is easy to follow and well laid out. It is informative without being too overwhelming. We found it helpful to play the Cats of Catthulhu RPG. The artwork is a nice enhancement; however you don't have to worry about using a ton of ink should you want to print this out. This RPG is easy to play. It isn't too crunchy (where only the dice rolls matter). It requires you to be creative with your imagination (you are playing a cat after all). If you like to generate a fun, unique story with other PCs and the Herder (aka DM/GM), then this could be a good addition to your RPGs....
I've only used one of the plots so far, Jeebus the Fairly Magificent. It added a bit of fun to a "5 Spacers in a bar" session. It looks like a lot of the others can be adapted to fit my setting, so I'll probably be using it again.

This has been a life-saver for my Great Rift campaign, and can do the same for yours.
The rumours have confirmed some of the PCs supicions (not necessarily accurately), and given them some wild gees to chase. Some of these rumours are going to trun into adventures.
Content and art same quality as the Core Rulebook. Contains new character classes, monsters, items, tables, and a quality adventure. Well worth the price.

A comprehensive overview of a classic superhero role-playing game. Well edited, full colour layout (in the PDF) and confidently written with real authority. You will not find a more encycopedic book about the hostory of the genre or running games of this type. The provision of customisable archetypes is welcome, as it provides a quick way to get into the game which is appreciable given the compexity of the standard character generation process.
You do need a core rule book to play it, however, whether it is Champions Complete or the Hero System volumes. It is a pity the developers didn't simply expand the book to make it complete the first time round. ...

The Black Hand playing the Sabbat is a fantastic sourcebook and an essential add-on to the main Sabbat book for players who wish to play (or include) the sword of Caine.
It's well written by authors who clearly love the topic, the easy to use and informative layout is punctuated with stunning artwork which makes it a breeze to read.
As a massive Sabbat fan this was just what I needed for V5.
100% recommend.

Fantastic distillation of the rules to make it easy for young children to understand! Hoping to advertise a one-shot session at the FLGS to showcase the system.
