Adventure Crucible — Building Stronger Scenarios for any RPG
Publisher: Tentacles Press
by Jason [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/09/2023 04:50:53

A bare-bones chapbook full of good practical advice for creating traditional adventures following structures Robin's outlined and described in more detail elsewhere. It's a bit dry at times, but serves as an excellent general guide.

I would give it five stars, except for the lack of one structure, the "Adventure", glaring for a book with FOR ANY RPG in the title. (An "Adventure" is where a sometimes mutable primary objective involves a mix of travel, conflict, and escalation, like Star Wars.)

MUTANT: Year Zero - Roleplaying At The End Of Days
Publisher: Free League Publishing
by Jason D. [Verified Purchaser]

I like it, but have not gotten a chance to play it yet, as I'm waiting for the print copy and the special dice.

That said, the content of the pdf is quite impressive. It hits a nice sweet spot between the gonzo nature of Gamma World and the grimmer setting of Aftermath, with a relatively light system and a nice focus on the setting, with the characters expected to become involved in their environments and strive for survival and progress.

The art is perfect for the setting and the production quality is high, with a clean layout and everything presented in an intuitive and easy-to-comprehend fashion.

I can't wait to run it.

Threats: Echoes of the Typhonians (Diceless)
Publisher: Rite Publishing
by Jason D. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 03/28/2014 12:10:01

I am biased, because it expands and supports the setting I wrote for "Lords of Gossamer & Shadow", but setting all of that aside, it's a fun and engaging piece of work. Imaginative and full of gaming hooks!

The Everyone Everywhere List

It's not much to look at, but this has been an indispensable gaming and writing aid for me since I bought a copy when it first premiered at Gen Con. I've used it at five jobs (I work in the computer game industry as a writer) and characters from dozens of campaigns have had names drawn from these pages.

21 Guns

For free, I suppose it's a good deal, but the mechanics are too sketchily-described to be of much use, and there's nothing really to speak of for a setting other than thin gloss on the Dark Tower novels. There might be something there, worthy of a more expansive treatment, but as it stands it doesn't seem like much of an improvement over just playing diceless or using coin tosses.

A much-appreciated update to the previous edition, adding value to the existing product and serving as a nice teaser for the new edition.
