Terran Trade Authority Spacecraft 2000 - 2100 AD

pixel_trans.gif Terran Trade Authority Spacecraft 2000 - 2100 AD Have to say, as a fan of the original this edition doesn't do it justice. The pages are warped and bendy, and the color reproduction isn't up to par. A shame that a 40th anniversary edition is so bland.

Wizard Pickles

pixel_trans.gif Wizard Pickles Great artwork and great puzzles! There are several "layers" to the puzzles, and my kids and I are only going through the first layer as I write this review, but it's great so far! As in the examples, it's mostly look and find, but there is more "puzzling" puzzles alter, plus I have been watching the kids pass over clues to the overarching puzzles. This is very much in the style of the Usborne Books puzzle books "Knight's Quest", Dragon Quest", et al. I bought the PDF, and was able to print out the puzzles 11"×17" (approximately A3) in glorious colour, and it's great. This is one case where "the medium is the message", and I don't think the native PDF would be as enjoyable, unless you have a decent tablet. With that out of the way, I also want to say how great it is to find an activity book like this, online, in PDF for a rainy dat activity for the family. My only complaint is that Planet Urf hasn...

Vellum & Lace Ep 00 Moving Day

Publisher: Paizo

pixel_trans.gif Vellum & Lace Ep 00 Moving Day I love this so much. The premise is so good, the prose is enchanting, the sisters play off each other so well, and I would defend the grand disaster Jelica no matter the cost. Why are you still reading this review when you could be reading *Vellum & Lace*?

pixel_trans.gif Shadowrun: On the Rocks Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I liked this a lot. Perfect end to the trilogy. I love the way chapters are structured in this, too, I got some arsene lupin vibes out of it. The bookend scenes were great, and I absolutely adored the character development of a particular character during that big climax scene (Not mentioned due to spoilers). Excited to see what you do next!

Great characters, great writing, and an overall fun yet thoughtful book!

The Cainite Conspiracies Anthology

pixel_trans.gif The Cainite Conspiracies Anthology Such a good anthology. More grounded into the Lore than the Endless Ages from V20 (though a very good book too, don't make me say what i didn't said !), very nice to dive into the ambiance and fluff of the Dark Age Vampire WoD.

Shadowrun Legends: Clockwork Asylum (The Dragon Heart Saga, Book 2)
by William M.
Publisher: Catalyst Game Labs
Date Added: 12/27/2021 23:45:47
pixel_trans.gif Shadowrun Legends: Clockwork Asylum (The Dragon Heart Saga, Book 2) Ooof. I really wanted to like this. The general plot is solid and interesting. If I was playing through it as an adventure module, I'd probably enjoy it. However ... it's obvious that no one at the publisher actually read it before pushing it out the door. There are typos, misspellings, and author's notes about sourcebooks left in. Instead of recapping or recontextualizing events from the prior novel, the author was allowed to copy/paste whole sections into this one. The writing is generally "meh", with a few attempts to use a thesaurus that just go awkwardly wrong (should have used a dictionary, too). Characters' personalities aren't consistent from the previous book (or even scene to scene). Finally, it's just too long. I didn't need to read about the Gary Stu protagonist having sex with the hot elf more than once. There are a number of scenes and subplots that seem to have been added to patch over plot holes. A real editor wou...

Sump Episode 1-3
by Kyle S.
Publisher: Lee Crystal
Date Added: 12/19/2021 18:40:31
pixel_trans.gif Sump Episode 1-3 Sump episodes 1-3 is bad. It starts by establishing the protagonist as an unlikable trust fund kid who is very beautiful and very intelligent. All of this is spoon fed to the reader with a lot of telling and pretty much no showing. Once the introductory info dump is over we join Julie wasting a clothing store owners time after closing time. When she's asked to leave she flounces off in a huff, meets a magic hobo who has no relevance to the story, and gets transported to a mysterious world. Here she meets and I quote: > > a small man raped in the long leather coat with a matching hood. The story doesn't follow up on how said man was raped which leads me to believe that it's a typo but imagining that it wasn't and that the author actually meant to write it exactly as it is did let me wring some extremely perverse pleasure out of this story. Anyway, this guy turned out to be a vampire or something and he gets shot by the male lead. We get introduced to...

The Firestorm Chronicle Anthology
by Björn L.
Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing
Date Added: 12/19/2021 10:57:17
pixel_trans.gif The Firestorm Chronicle Anthology # **From monster to humanity - a Mephisto review** **The Firestorm Chronicle** **The Firestorm Chronicle** focuses on the Prometheans, those creatures from the role-playing game of the same name that were created and animated by humans like Frankenstein's monster. The first of the ten stories still revolves around creating such a being from the point of view of humans. The other stories in the anthology volume take the perspective of the Prometheans and address their central theme, the path to humanity. The Prometheans thus presented cover a broad spectrum – from the merciless cartel killer to the cautious casual laborer. However, the theme is always how these beings relate to their freedom, their origins and past, humanity, and their own quest for humanity. Thus, the inner action of the characters – their thoughts, fears, hopes – is usually more important than the outer action, which only serves as a catalyst. Therefore, **The Firestorm Chronicle** turns out much quieter than t...

The God-Machine Chronicle Anthology
by Björn L.
Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing
Date Added: 12/19/2021 10:55:19
pixel_trans.gif The God-Machine Chronicle Anthology **# The inner secrets of the World of Darknes - a Mephisto review** **The God-Machine Chronicle** In the first rule book of the ***Chronicles of Darkness***, the so-called God-Machine was hinted at in a short story. Except for this single reference, however, this seemingly larger background of the game remained only a small fragment in the mysteries of the new ***World of Darkness***. However, with the second edition of the ***Chronicles of Darkness***, the God-Machine has become more central, and thus the title of the associated anthology volume. Accordingly, the book begins with the story *Voice of the Angel*, which tells an origin story of the world from an entirely different point of view. The humans were the servants of another species, who, in turn, were closer to the God-Machine that created the world. Humanity eventually rebelled against their masters and destroyed them. The few remaining specimens of this ancient race who swore revenge on humankind have left their dark mark...

Godwalker
by Maxwell N.
Publisher: Greg Stolze
Date Added: 12/12/2021 03:39:39
pixel_trans.gif Godwalker This is Tim Powers' *Last Call*, but set in the world of Unknown Armies. Which is funny, because Unknown Armies is itself Last Call transformed into an RPG setting. It's a more condensed version of the same story, which means a smaller cast of characters with less room to breathe, but also less time spent on meandering subplots. There's some exposition of game mechanics, such as explanations of characters acquiring and spending magickal "charges" like they would do in the RPG. The Freak is the coolest character. If you like Unknown Armies or Tim Powers you'll probably like this....

Haunting Shadows: The Wraith: The Oblivion 20th Anniversary Anthology
by Björn L.
Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing
Date Added: 11/13/2021 06:13:04
pixel_trans.gif Haunting Shadows: The Wraith: The Oblivion 20th Anniversary Anthology **Haunted ghosts - a Mephisto review** # **Haunting shadows** Titled **Haunting shadows**, this anthology for the ***Wraith*** roleplaying game takes the reader into the world of the ghosts of the ***World of Darkness*** with nine short stories. The stories take up typical concepts of the roleplaying game: the social order of the wraiths, shaped by the Hierarchy, which always threatens to use new ghosts as raw materials; the confrontation of the wraiths with their shadow - that is, their dark side; the fight against specters and, of course, simply the fact that the ghosts end up in a dark parallel world after the end of their lives. As with the other anthologies, the stories cover a wide range. For example, in one story, a duo of ghosts explores the sinister labyrinth and faces its horrors. Another one is about a group of researchers who slip into the spirit world more by accident than anything else. The next story features an investigator who is a wraith investigating the machinati...

The Fallen World Chronicle Anthology
by Björn L.
Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing
Date Added: 11/09/2021 14:10:21
pixel_trans.gif The Fallen World Chronicle Anthology **The worderful world of mages - a Mephisto review** # **Fallen World** Since every system of the Chronicle of Darkness gets its own anthology, ***Mage - The Awakening*** does not go empty-handed thanks to **Fallen World** either. Twelve stories take the reader on a multifaceted journey through the world of mages. At one point, it's about a young magician who experiences a personal crisis and finds magical enlightenment. Then again, the focus is on the conflict between two mages who interfere with a custody dispute for their own interests. While most stories focus more on their protagonists and less on the major organizations and powers within the game world, one story with an interesting Seers of the Throne perspective provides a very original look at one of the larger conflicts in the game world. Not much can be said about the stories without running the risk of giving away their surprises. While the themes and presentation vary (which is what makes a good anthology, in my v...
