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...

# **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 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...
