Tri-Stat dX: Core System Role-Playing Game - GOO-18-001
Publisher: Dyskami Publishing Company
by Scott F. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/26/2017 14:48:48

I have to admit, the Tri-Stat dX system is probably one of the most complete, modularized, and modifiable generic RPGs available, since GURPS. The rules aren't difficult to pick up and there is as much meat as you need to sate your hunger - be it for high fantasy, gritty cyberpunk, soaring heavy hitting superheroics, kingly subterfuge or virtually any manga or anime setting. At the low introductory cost of free, there is no reason for you not to own it. Try it. I couldn't find anything wrong with the sytem, except yhat it's too bad Guardians of Order is not around anymore.

Maelstrom Storytelling (Dogbound Edition)
Publisher: Precis Intermedia
by Scott F. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 12/05/2015 22:53:41

The classic Story Engine in its infancy, with a full world setting, coupled with the fact that the Story Engine Rules (sold separately), can be fused seamlessly with it makes this a true gem for lovers of Roleplaying over Roll-playing. An influence on most modern storytelling games, Maelstrom deserves a solid place on your shelf. Although a little outdated (the Story Engine is a more refined and clarified set of rules), Maelstrom still holds it's own, with a setting, races, and numerous factions to play any type of game with. From murder mysteries to adventuring, Maelstrom offers players a broad selection of options to choose from. If you're a fan of FATE, Precis Intermedia's other RPG systems, such as the Masterbook system, the genreDiversion3E or Story Engine rules (or any of the more other "scene-amatic" games) Maelstrom still offers up the goods, even at the expense of its age. Prepare your Krel Airship and sail into the realms of the twin suns or journey through realms of your choosing. It all starts here.

Ronin – Skirmish Wargames in the Age of the Samurai
Publisher: Osprey Publishing
by Scott F. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 09/11/2015 20:22:50

An all around good skirmish wargame, but I question the history behind it, in light of recent archeological finds. Ninja (shinobi no mono), by way of example, are handled as a "hidden unit" amongst your models, rather than the infiltration and advanced scouting, demolitions and fire use against fortifications, they achieved in the five types of spy (from Sun Tzu's Art of War) and as Samurai or Bushi in their own right.. Otherwise, a simple and quick game, easy to pick up, and modify. I only wish there were more models available for this genre of game; but there are always counters. A good first edition. Hopefully Osprey will continue to put out quality products like these dealing with "out of the usual" genres of play. Otherwise, a complex enough game, rich with oriental history (like the invasions of Korea and Battles against the Ming Chinese), that can be learned in a minimal amount of time.

Chaos and Circumstance. Expanded random events for FiveCore
Publisher: Nordic Weasel Games
by Scott F. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 09/04/2015 12:11:30

A great addition to the fiveCore ruleset. Completely optional and independent, it works well in some games, but if you don't need it you don't have to use it. Phenomenal modular design.

Torg: Clerics’ Sourcebook
Publisher: Ulisses Spiele
by Scott F. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/06/2015 19:09:39

With almost 100 new miracles your Cleric can provide your party in high Spirit realms, this is definitely a resource Player's can benefit from. Also incorporating different religious figures from other realms makes this a product well worth the investment. If your TORG cleric needs a miracle, it more than likely to be found here. Note, however, that the Torg Revised and Expanded rules book supersedes and compliments some of the material in this book.

Torg: Infiniverse Newsletter Compiled #1-40
Publisher: Ulisses Spiele
by Scott F. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/06/2015 19:03:34

Albeit a little outdated, and hard to read in places, this still can be used by prospective GMs who want to play out the Possibility Wars from the beginning, with rumors and plot hooks abound. Summarized in the Infiniverse Guides, this is a rare opportunity to revisit RPG history in the making as being the first game to have players decide the outcome of published material - a modern day reality with the Pathfinder Society modules. Back in the snail-mail days, however mailing in the responses was a milestone in creativity. Well worth it for the material it provides, and a solid historical perspective on one of WEG's finest.

From ballistae to Sidewinder, to more advanced heavy weaponry, Nippon Tech is here to serve. A staggering amount of equipment, including siege engines, howitzers, and more are available in this reissued product. It's a must have resource when it comes to reigning mass destruction in the Possibility Wars.

Torg: The Land Below
Publisher: Ulisses Spiele
by Scott F. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/06/2015 12:27:59

For those who like the "Inner Earth" stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs and others, this is definitely the product for you. The Land Below proffers a slew of adventuring opportunities, especially if you are running a Living Earth, Nile Empire game. Even if you aren't the mysteries in The Land Below will keep any Storm Knight occupied. A solid product now happily back in circulation.

Gunman's Law Main Rulebook
Publisher: Straight Jab Media
by Scott F. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/29/2015 19:25:34

This has to be the most accurate portrayal of cinematic gunfights in a tactical situation since Cowboys. It also serves as a brilliant solo/multi-player RPG to boot. I highly recommend it to anyone into the western cinematic gaming genre: fans of Boot Hill (2e but to a minor extent 3e), Cowboys, or Coyote Trail will get their moneys worth on this one.

Accursed Player's Guide
Publisher: Star Anvil Studios
by Scott F. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 12/05/2014 14:35:47

The premise of the game (the monsters that try not to be monsters) is a classic formula, but Accursed throws a real spin on it. An engaging background and history, and the potential rises to unseen heights. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone who enjoys playing the anti-hero once in a while. You definitely won't be disappointed.

Date Added: 11/14/2014 16:36:27

This new open beta by Precis Intermedia is bound to please people like me who enjoyed the Story Engine rules and the Mastercraft Classic Rules. The demo is clean concise and when it fills up, with the inclusion of add-ons (like the fantasy and Sci-Fi supplements, it's sure to garner every rules light fans. This is only an open beta however so not all of the final product is here, however it leaves you grasping for the next little bit and praying for 2015 to come around already.

This is one of the better post-apocalyptic games out there. I am definitely looking forwards to more in this series. The mechanics are easy to learn and the setting is delightful. Each book or "mallus" just adds more horror to the setting. On its own it carries little weight, but in conjunction with the rest of the series, this book or Mallus I: The Core Book just shines. I'm just wondering what happened to Mallus VI?

A interesting blend of story seeds that will have beginning characters up and running the seedy streets of Little Haiti in no time at all. The seeds are vibrant and full of roleplaying opportunities.

Battlelords of the Twenty-Third Century
Publisher: SSDC, Inc.
by Scott F. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/10/2013 13:34:56

This has just the proper amount of old school and new school game mechanics to cover virtually any science fiction scenario. The races, background and 'mechs give this a flavor unique to itself, a cross between MechWarrior, Cyberpunk and Space Opera. Overall, well worth the purchase.
