The Warlock Returns Issue #05
von Andrew [Verifizierter Käufer] Hinzugefügt am: 10/16/2023 06:22:03

Well it has rules for running cat people and ones brighter than the cat people in Out of the Pit so that has to be a good thing.

End Times Campaign
von Alessandro V. [Verifizierter Käufer] Hinzugefügt am: 09/09/2023 14:11:19

I think this is the longer campaign ever published by Arion Games so far in a single book. I have been particularly impressed and within days I started running it. It is a campaign that compells you to run it ASAP. It can be adapted to most fantasy campaigns and there are plenty of maps.

Advanced Fighting Fantasy Deluxe
von Tony K. [Verifizierter Käufer] Hinzugefügt am: 09/06/2023 16:56:37

TL;DR: Advanced Fighting Fantasy (AFF 2e) assumes that players are familiar with tabletop roleplaying games, or the Fighting Fantasy books. The rules are written in a very British conversational style and is not a game of hard and fast rules. AFF 2e is about a traditional fantasy adventuring party, collaborating to achieve a shared goal in an adventure or a campaign.
After procrastinating for many years, I decided to invest heavily into Advanced Fighting Fantasy 2nd edition. I wanted a simple, robust and hackable rules-lite system, a large bestiary and well supported by official adventures, that can be used for solo play, introduce novices into our hobby and support long campaigns. I also prefer systems which support a bell curve, like the 2d6 task resolution used by AFF 2e, providing swingy dice rolls. AFF 2e offers only four characteristics, SKILL, LUCK, STAMINA. A fourth characteristic, MAGIC, is only for those who are magically inclined. SKILL represents the general ability of the character to do things and is enhanced by special skills. STAMINA represents health, the physical punishment a character can take, and is also used by Sorcerers to power their spells. LUCK is used for situations outside of the SKILL characteristic, such as testing for fear, resisting magic, avoiding traps, and stumbling over clues. These characteristics are supported by special skills and talents to uniquely define a character. The mechanical simplicity of AFF 2e would be an advantage for solo gaming, or GM-less play with an oracle, but I am interested in a dungeon, city, wilderness, naval, swashbuckling medieval to renaissance low magic fantasy campaign. AFF 2e requires a GM to play (called a “Director”), and depending on the output of our group brainstorm, we’ll either use one of the official campaigns, do a point crawl campaign, or a cooperative hex crawl using the random generators and other resources found in the AFF 2e system. To cover all these options, I decided to purchase the following books: Deluxe Edition – includes the AFF 2e rules, Out of the Pit (250 monsters) and the Titan official setting. The AFF 2e rules cover character creations, archetypes, special skills, talents, social actions, encumbrance, perception, hazards, combat, minor magic, wizardry, sorcery, a small selection of monsters, and treasures and a dungeon adventure. The Titan setting has aspects of Stormbringer, Conan and Lord of the Rings with detailed history, continents, major factions, the underwater kingdoms, major points of interests, personas, a calendar, coinage, entertainment, and food. One can easily run a dungeon delving campaign with minimal preparation just using the Deluxe book which has a dungeon generator, adventure hooks and optional rules. The Titan setting also provides travel rules to get the party to those dungeons. Between travel, food, board, entertainment, magic shops and taxes, there are lots of opportunities to keep the party poor, and hungry for more adventures and loot. Heroes Companion – includes rules for the hirelings, dominions, mass battles, and afflictions (i.e., Lycanthropy). This also includes a simple system for creating running wilderness campaigns, including random tables for terrain generation, encounters, weather, resource management, and options for heroes and magical styles. The Hero companion and Deluxe rules combined would allow Wilderness and Dungeon areas to be pre-built together, or randomly determined during campaign play. Blacksand – includes rules for black powder weapons, naval sorcery, sailing, seafaring, and naval combat. Rules for settlement generation (hamlet to large city) and detailed descriptions, organisations and personas for the infamous port of Blacksand, perfect for a Lankhmar style campaign. The details of how the “legal system” operates in Port Blacksand are very characterful, and funny for those not on the receiving end of judgement. Blacksand combined with the Deluxe rules and Heroes Companion would provide a GM with the dungeon, wilderness, and settlement generators, allowing minimal preparation, or cooperative build on the fly, hex crawl campaign. Combat Companion – includes expanded mounted combat rules, monster templates, new equipment, martial arts, and alternative rules for combat including critical and fumble tables. Finally, a checklist to record options chosen for campaign play. It also supports creating less or more powerful characters. My Evil GM persona believes this could provide a fun campaign start, where each player has 4-5 civilians, defending their village from a band of goblins, and choosing a survivor to start their adventuring career. Beyond the Pit - This is another 250 monster, treasure, and random encounter tables. Note that this book, Out of the Pit and Return to the Pit all have an A-Z monster index, allowing quick access during a game session. Return to the Pit – another 250 monsters, treasure, and encounter tables. It also has rules for Familiars, named days of the week, Monster lore and archetype characters (i.e., a Beastmaster). Lastly, it has a consolidated, searchable alphabetical index of every monster in the three “Pit” books, by page number. With these books, one could run a lifetime of fantasy campaigns without needing anything else. AFF 2e would also be suitable for solo or cooperative play using the wilderness, settlement, and dungeon generators in the books. The Encyclopedia of Arcana Vol 1 book was not purchased at this stage, because my preference is to keep a campaign low magic, with players receiving consumables, access to rare knowledge and growing reputations which in turn Evil GM thoughts will attract the attention of more powerful antagonists… There are good, evil and neutral gods present in the Titan setting, but it is a perilous enough place that all characters are implicitly good, as the evil gods seek the utter destruction of the known world, and this simplifies party composition and the reason for adventuring together, allowing novices to concentrate on the action. However, local laws would still need to be obeyed, and murder hobo characters defying the law can be quickly dealt with in-game by using the court system found in Blacksand. While AFF 2e has rules for social standing, there are no rules for a lifepath, edges/flaws, or alignment, as these are unnecessary complications for a system originally designed for dungeon delving. A GM craving an alignment system could import one, use the old-school Law, Neutral and Chaos rules, or enforce a core behaviour through character archetypes. The special skills / talents can neatly represent edges, but GM’s will need to look outside if a rules-based flaw system is desired. However, if the goal of a flaw is to drive characterful play, then a character or party losing to a recurring, powerful, and insufferable villain, will provide those dramatic moments. Those GM’s wanting a life path system in AFF 2e could start the characters as civilians and channel their development through special skills, talents, and archetypes, to create a rich history worthy of journalling, throughout a campaign game. Those groups wanting to live dangerously, and forever remember fondly a glorious (or ignominious) character death, then the Combat Companion options can give that gritty feeling. AFF 2e would be an easy pathway for new GM’s (“Directors”) and players to start with a few published dungeons, before graduating an official campaign. However the system does not offer GM advice and so the Director would need to be someone who already has some roleplaying experience. But a novice group, working together, could muddle their way through the rules. The quality of the PDF’s must be commended and shown as an example to budding game designers. Every book has an index (where applicable) and appendices, with charts & tables consolidated for easy reference and printing for player/GM use. All the books are white pages, using a two-column layout and a black text font. The layout is well spaced for easy reading, with the highly detailed, black and white art, giving the eye a sumptuous and evocative rest from the lines of text. It also means less ink used when charts, tables etc are printed out for play. Most PDF's have a detailed outline with links to each chapter and section, and everything is searchable. This is excellent for finding stuff quickly, either by searching, or just clicking on the relevant section in the PDF outline. Every monster in the three “Pit” books is rendered in beautiful black & white art, a description, and a stat block. Monster attacks and armour are thoughtfully consolidated into the weapon and armour tables, whereas monster special abilities are in the descriptions. If you desire a single, well-supported rules-lite system that can do anything from one-shot dungeons to long campaigns, then AFF 2e could be your game. While AFF 2e may not have the coolness factor of modern OSR games, its 2d6 resolution system would support hacking for any game you desire. I've also heard on the grapevine that an official solo expansion is being developed for AFF 2e.

Stellar Adventures Weapons and Armour Catalogue
von Andrew D. [Verifizierter Käufer] Hinzugefügt am: 06/10/2023 10:41:32

A wonderful selection of weapons and armour, some which are bargains over their standard rule book equivlaent, while others are the expected over-priced brandnames.

The sales pitches for each equipment entry are great fun.

In addition to the variants on weapons by different manifacturers, there are also a few weapon types entirely absent from the Stellar Adventures main rule book.

Stellar Adventures
von Andrew D. [Verifizierter Käufer] Hinzugefügt am: 06/10/2023 10:31:13

I think my one big complaint about Stellar Adventures is that there should of been a version of it back in the early 1990s alongside the original Advanced Fighting Fantasy. It would have made a significant difference to me. Back then first edition Advanced Fighting Fantasy and Dungeons & Dragons were the only RPG systems I were familiar with. Stellar Adventures benefits from a fast and simple character creation system, which allows you to create proper heroes with a reasonable number of skills. The combat system is heroic with in its way reasonable cinematic realism.

Maelstrom Domesday
von Ben F. [Verifizierter Käufer] Hinzugefügt am: 03/13/2023 23:36:57

All in all, an alright game. Not a lot of meat on the bones; but a lot of content under the hood nonetheless. Also quite usable as a supplement otherwise with the complete guide to English herbology included in the book itself.

Inn of Lost Hope
von Jay G. [Verifizierter Käufer] Hinzugefügt am: 11/05/2022 13:39:29

I recently ran Inn Of Lost Hope for my group and they absolutely loved it.

It's a short adventure set in a small sandbox so it's definitely playable as a single session one-shot, we finished it in about 3.5 hours. The titular Inn is a great haunted house style setting with a lot of description and some guidelines from the author of how to frame the whole thing. The narrative itself is simple and well laid out with enough early information and clues so as to let the players in on the story without clubbing them over the head with it.

In the case of the group I ran this the adventure worked simultaneously well for 2 of the players as bridge from one-adventure to the next while also being a great straight forward introduction to the game for our 3rd player.

My one criticism of the adventure is that for a group of 3 characters the combat encounters were a bit too easy. I would definitely recommend increasing the Skill or Stamina of some of the encounters to increase the challenge level (except the final boss, he was a tough nut to crack).

Overall my players and I had a terrific time and I know almost immediately after running this one of my players got his own copy and ran t for another group.

Definitely 5 stars, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun Fighting Fantasy adventure.

Encyclopedia Arcana Vol I - Treasures
von jack t. [Verifizierter Käufer] Hinzugefügt am: 10/15/2022 13:26:08

A very good book, many, many tables for random items to roll upon, many inventive potions and magic items listed.

A good purchase whether or not you play AFF, in my opinion, as it excellent for generating the contents of pockets or treasuries.

Maelstrom Domesday
von James R M. [Verifizierter Käufer] Hinzugefügt am: 08/25/2022 07:11:16

Gotta say, I love this game! You can tell a lot of love, interest and effort was put into this version of Maelstrom. From the extensive history, day to day life, culture, etc. to the traditional bestiary that doesn't seem out of place, this game showed that the makers cared about the subject matter.

The game itself uses a D100 system, which if you're familiar and like Call of Cthulhu (which I am looking into introducing monsters and such from it into my Domesday game), all the concepts are there and easy to follow. Whether you are a proponent of D100 or not, the lifepath character generation is a fun game in itself. Taking the random journey through your character's life before your adventures is such a great time. No joke! The magic system also harkens to Ars Magica, with me being never a fan of Vancian magic, I love it! There's more creativity involved, which with low magic I appreciate.

Only critique I have is I wish there was more products to add to it. And in products, I mean supplemental tools to add more monsters, other parts of the world during this time period or things to add more fantastical elements to the game. I know these things would take away from the purpose of the game, but I could see this ruleset as the quintessential Warhammer Fantasy successor, especially with that lifepath system being expanded to even more gritty occupations and such.

Highly recommend this game!
