This is a great little introduction adventure. It is structured to give the people some simple situations and show them how the rules handle them.
This is exactly the kind of thing you could run at a convention to showcase the system and is in line with Applewyrm of Alriksford.
With a little bit of imagination you can also add some jumping off points for further adventures or excursions.
There are a couple of minor translation issues in the book, such as the "Prepare Food" skill being translated as "Cooking".
Everyone still knows what is meant, but it doesn't match the skill on the character sheet, but those are easily ignored.
This is another good first contact point with the Dark Eye....

Really good. I would say some of the tables are better than others, but it's easy to just skip the ones you don't care for, or use the roll from another table. Others are absolutely awesome. I love having 3x the number of jobs for NPCs, for example, or 3x the number of potential locations. I don't, on the other hand, feel the need for expanded action/theme tables. Overall, great stuff!

A quite correctly designed introductory quickstart for playing humans in the World of Darkness 1st edition, it does what it says on the tin efficiently. A good product to start with this version of the game.

When it came out in 2004, I thought YES. This is what I would liked the World of Darkness to be, as I grew apart from the metaplot and some of the wonkyness of the oWoD system. When I read Requiem, my opinion was confirmed.
This book has a handy system for playing horror stories with humans in the World of Darkness. If you want to play a supernatural, you need additional books, but the copre system is here, and is an elegant and streamlined update (for 2004) of the World of Darkness system. The tone of the implied setting is extremely well realized, and the book is inspiring and full of possibilities. Definitely a great. ...
Well, it's the definitive version for Vampire pre-5th edition, and if you love that version of the game, this book is for you. A really comprehensive effort for compiling all clans, Disciplines and assorted rules, you can run games foreveer with nothing but this book. They chose to create an "eternal now" setting, in which Gehenna is always about but not quite happening yet, so if you don't like V5 you don't have to bother with it.
I like V5 better, but this game will always have a special place in my heart. This book is a work of love and admiration for the game. A true classic. ...
Inspiring, but still sketchy, the dolphin has strange capacity levels compared to anyone else. One of the characters is supposed to have a secret, but their abilities make it very easy to guess.

Ich habe selten so eine gute Einsteigerbox gesehen. Der Umfang ist grandios. Die Abenteuerkampagne ist sehr stimmig und passt mit den charakteren gut zusammen. Die Gruppe wird sehr elegant zusammengeführt und alle Regeln werden ausführlich erklärt. Eine rundum gute Box für Einsteiger und auch erfahrene Rollenspieler.
Einziger Wehrmutstropfen ist, dass einige Regeln nur auf den Charakterblättern erklärt werden und diese in dem beiliegenden Regelwerk nicht näher erwähnt werden. Hier gäbe es noch etwas Verbesserungspotential. Auch wäre eine Klarschrift der Handouts gut gewesen. Immerhin kann man diese bei 3/4 aus dem PDF kopieren und so gut lesen. Auch wäre ein optionaler 5. Charakter nett gewesen, aber für den Preis bekommt man echt etwas geboten. Ungeachtet dessen empfehle ich jedem die Box als physische Box zu kaufen, um den vollen Nutzen aus den Bodenplänen und den beiliegenden Plättchen ziehen zu können. Diese kostet zwar einiges mehr, aber dank dem beiliegendem Würfelset ist die Box...

Das Buch liest sich sehr gut und flüssig. Es gibt einen schönen Einstieg in die Welt von HeXXen und macht definitiv Lust auf mehr. Die Handlung selbst ist gradlienig, so dass man ihr gut folgen kann, hat aber auch die eine oder andere Überraschung bereit. Man merkt jedoch auch, dass es das erste Buch aus der HeXXen Welt ist, so kommt es mir persönlich so vor, als müssten gewisse Elemente noch unbedingt mit Untergebracht werden. Wenn man diese weggelassen hätte würde dies nicht so gekünstelt wirken.
Der Inquisitor und sein Gefolge zum Beispiel sind stimmig zu Anfang und passen super in die Handlung rein. Im weiteren Verlauf verhalten sie sich aber eher unlogisch, wie ich finde und gehen zum Ende hin total belanglos unter. Das wirkt gekünstelt und erscheint als müsse dieser Handlungsfaden schnell zum Ende gebracht werden. Etwas mehr Raum und Ausschmückungen hätten das ganze viel stimmiger gemacht, ohne das Ergebnis ansich zu verändern. So wirkt es, als sei das Seitenlimit bereits erreich...
An amazing fantasy setting with familiar yet unique options for races and magic. Some familiar tropes of being a vampire or a werewolf, but focusing on their cursed nature as well as their advantages. I like how many cultures are built upon real-life native tribes. The world has an interesting lore with a cool mix of western and high fantasy, and the setting focuses on hunting, crafting and exploration. It has a nice adventure generator and I like the bestiary as well (particularly the infamous antiheroes).
EDIT: I almost forgot to mention the impressive and unique art....

Black Star is the role-playing game that my friends and I have been searching for a long time. Being able to experience adventures in the Star Wars universe through a streamlined and elegant rule system that requires very little preparation. I studied it and builded 6 character sheet in less than a day, and the evening after we played our first oneshot: "Escape from Mos Shuuta". This game is perfect for us busy thirtysomethings caught up in the Dark Side of adult life. I hope that more in-depth content will be released in the future, perhaps with some examples of adversaries and villains to use. May the Force be with you!...

Adds a whole new level to the game. Love how much more variety it brings, and I especially love the oracles Eric created for megacities. Such a well-made asset to any Starforged game.

Had a blast playing this at UK Games Expo with the author as Keeper. A great mystery that kept us engaged thoughout with very atmospheric horror - I'll never look at a crow in the same way again. Reading through the scenario I'm impressed by the production values and the hard work that has obviously gone into this.
From a player perspective, I feel you'll want at least two sessions to really delve into the underlying mystery beneath the initial investigation.
Highly recommend this scenario!

During the last few days, I have soloed my way through the fun Pathfinder 2 Adventure The Mystery of Brushgather Farm (157 pages). I changed four lines of Spell Law (I.C.E.) and made it my solo engine. I used the five PC characters that I used in my last adventure and added a goblin alchemist named Fumble. The adventure started with the PCs arriving in the city of Berinncorte. They soon heard about strange happenings at a farm just outside of town. They decided to investigate. They arrived at the farm and went to the stables (which are connected to the house). This was locked as was most of the gates and doors at this location. Luckily, three of the characters had the thievery skill. They explored 15 room/locations on the ground level. In the stables they found an embroidered horse hood. In the pantry they took a meal break. It was interrupted by a ghoul. They killed it and no one was paralyzed. They found more loot and had to be picky about what they carried because of the weight of t...
