"Rules light" apparently means slapping together some extremely questionable and thin rules and giving them a name.
Pro tip when designing RPGs: a character creation proces, a character sheet and maybe even a skill list would make it easier to make characters...crazy, I know...
So yea, basically there's no rules or instructions for generating a character which seems...stupid...

also - you apparently missed it - but there is a chargen system in a separate pdf that is included in your purchase of this book. You probably missed the download. |

Excellent product. I have all of the After products. Like Roadside Picnic + a western. Has all of the mechanics you might need. Serious game (not silly).

We couldn’t play in person and easily used discord to play. Everyone rolled for an animal and their various role and background. Game only uses two stats, which the points move back and forth between the two based on success and failures. Had so much fun acting as GM and the players had a blast. Really role played their characters which added to the fun. No one reverted to Woodland Animals but we lost two to cocaine.
Would highly recommend for a fun evening. Definitely not for kids.

This is a review of the digital version only. The four interior easy-to-read panels are (1) devoted to a lexicon, (2) key rules & concepts (core mechanic, difficulties, attributes) (3) time, distance, & movement, Luck points, random chart of Chaos Lord / npc traits, and (4) an adventure generator. The outside panels (at least one of which is displayed on this product's page) all showcase full color art by Jacob Blackmon. Basically, the "sweet spot" VK rules and Jacob Blackmon's amazing art are a match made in giant robot nerdvana and this is a fantastic addition to the VK/Champions of the ElectroCube line.

If this sounds AWESOME to you, do yourself a favor and pick it up! If you are on the fence, does Honey Heist rpg sound too childish but the concept seems fun? Then you WANT this game! PERFECT for a one shot where too many players are missing for your regular game. VERY simple rules, easy character creation, adult humor, everything you expected from this title!

Spiders on the Storm is a fun fantasy adventure for Fifth Edition D&D, but I used A Dungeon Game (50 pages, DriveThruRPG, free/pay what you want). This spider adventure is the first adventure in this set of adventures. I used GEMulator as my solo engine. I created five first level characters. Each had one spell, two weapons, and no armor.
So, the first thing the PCs had to deal with was a nasty storm. My undertaker character took damage from the mudslide and then died drowned during the flood. When they arrived at Archway, they had to deal with two giant spiders. My gambler character got bitten twice and died because of the poison. The other three PCs did kill one of the giant spiders. The other one was hit with a beast friend spell and it retreated. At this point, Tulak joined the group (he had been living at Archway). He was the one that had the antitoxin potions. The PCs then tracked the spiders back to their den. In the den, they had to fight two giant spiders and a Ettercap. Shea the astrologer went down because of two spider bites. Tulak healed her and cured her of the poison. The loot was pretty good. They found copper, silver, electrum, gold, three potions, and an oil of slipperiness. Give this a try!

The content of the PDF is pretty interesting, diferent options for the monsters and even some adventure ideas. Am having problems with the version downloadable from the DTRPG app, the text shows up as boxes and its unreadable. Initially I believed it was the PDF itself but if I download it directly from the website it works just fine. Good material, sadly its not functional on the DTRPG app, maybe reupload it and test the font embeding?
I wasnt sure how to reply to the follow up so I edited my review, the problem appears to be related to the file on the app itself I think. I work on a laptop and the file WORKS just fine if open by Chrome. It is Nitro AND Adobe that seem unable to open it. Also this problem doesnt happen if I download the file directly from DTRPG.

I wasn't aware of a DTRPG app. Is it possible you're having trouble reading the pdf on your phone but it works ok on your laptop? |
|

OK - I've been looking but haven't been able to find a DTRPG app.
I've contacted my layout person and they're giving the pdf a second look. |

Hello,
I like the setting in that PDF and they are really good ideas inside. Still this is a 3 for me and here's why:
- there are several errors on several NPCs
- members of the Wolfpack are supposed to be playable by gamers but none are built with the same budget in dice.
- the authors indicate that supplements will come out to address more in depth Mantis and the Pantheon but ultimately nothing has been done.
As it stands, we have a very good implementation of the Supers Revised Edition role-playing game in a dark universe, but if we want to play something other than Fist, it will require additional work from the gamemaster.

I enjoyed this Fun Product. Makes me want to play White Star.
I am a person of few words and they are making me type at least 50 characters - so here are my extra words.

I love super-games, and really love pre-generated character compilations. This work is a welcome addition to my ICONS library, with truly great ideas and art- marred only by some really unfortunate GSP errors. They were the only reason I went with four stars- great work, otherwise!

It's amazing how much play value has been stuffed into this relatively small package. The adventure table generator alone makes it worth the purchase price. With just a few d6 rolls, your head will be spinning from all of the cool ideas it has sparked.

Jeff -
Terribly sorry that happened to you. I've had some problems myself with OBS POD orders in the last year.
I understand you've been in communication with Jon Gibbons. At his direction, I just now ordered you a new copy of the softcover edition of the book.
With current printing and shipping times - looks like the eta would be 6 to 8 weeks.
Again - sorry this happened to you. Let us know when the replacement arrives and if there are any problems with it.
Of course, if you'd like, please feel free to work with DriveThruRPG Customer Service to resolve the issues with your original order.

we sent another replacement. This time hardcover. Please let us know if it arrived. |

A beautiful world, described in detail without getting repetitive or overburdening, and with great mechanics to support the overall feeling ingame. I love the stress tag system which handles deteriorating equipment. While being super lightweight, it still creates a sense of scarcity. The After is easily one of my favourite settings.
