And has a damn fine grasp on what inspired it and made it tick. Lest I sully the noble hungarian’s honeyed words of praise with my own vulgar hooting, here is the gib from the horse’s mouth: The first part of the adventure is Khazra’s canyon, where the People of the Bull took camp. The place evokes … More Vorpalmace raises the Red Banner
At last we come to that most fundamental of activities in a grim and perilous world; The baying of men and the pig-like squealing of the maimed. Pitted Iron piercing yielding flesh. The dry crackling of splintering bone. The pleasing crimson of arterial blood spray. Let us speak of combat. Before I say anything else, … More [Review] Zweihander (WFRP retroclone) Pt. V; Barbarism & Unrelenting Savagery
Character creation in Zweihander is more involved then that of its predecessors, but the number of steps do not widely exceed that of something like Dark Heresy (and in the case of games like Rogue Trader and Only War, might actually be less). If you like your characters fully fleshed out with an abundance of … More [Review] Zweihander (WFRP retroclone) Pt. II; The anatomy of grim heroics
In this last installment of this interminable series I will cover the Setting, Bestiary and the sample Adventure in the back of the book so you do not accidentally stumble upon it whilst idly flipping through rulebooks in the rpg-section at the ABC and throw up all over the tabletop section. The setting has not … More PrinceofNothingReviews: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying 2e Pt. VII; Setting & Conclusion.
Warhammer Fantasy is, first and foremost, a setting that revolves around tales of bitter and ultimately futile struggle against extinction. It comes as no surprise that much of this struggle takes the form of a literal struggle, with swords and knives and whatnot because medieval violence is both gritty and allows for personal heroism to … More PrinceofNothingReviews: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2e Pt. III; An age of Battle and Death and of the World’s Ending
Combat in Warhammer Fantasy is a grisly and grim affair, no less lethal then any of the earlier editions of DnD, albeit with a bonus change of getting maimed instead of slaughtered out of hand. The game starts off on the wrong foot and betrays its wretched wargaming origins, by insisting that you use maps, … More [Review] Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying 1st edition Pt. III: Blood for the Blood God
Along the shore where night-black spires break The Thundering clouds and reflect distorted upon a depthless lake What once was buried stirs and hungers, In Carcosa Where alien gods dwelling beyonde earth and skies, speak through mouths of sacrifice, To withered lords and willing slaves in, Lost Carcosa Where streets are wreathed in opium mist … More [Actual Play] Lost on Carcosa Pt. XVIII: THIS. IS. CARCOSA.
Oh Halycon 2016. Though thou art surely a harbinger of horrid (albeit cathartic) violence to come, thou doth provide us with a plentitude of soft targets in the meantime. Case in point, crazy cat-lady and rabid feminst loon (scheduled to be one of the speakers at Gencon 2016, largest tabletop gaming convention in america, because … More Not all bad; Anna Kreider a.k.a Wundergeek finally speaks out against gay killings on behalf of ISIS.
2016 is thus far a very tempestuous but interesting year if you are in the mood for mockery and targets with -8 size modifiers to AC. BellofLostsouls, tabletop gaming news site, is apparently sick of retaining credibility and its audience and thus decides to weigh in on an important topic that no doubt concerns us … More Heresy! SocJus launches treasonous assault upon our Benificent God Emperor.
Fuck me I swore I was going to go back to reviewing. It is almost impossible in this benighted era to turn around for one second without some maladaptive social justice freak saying something utterly retarded. Thus it should come as no suprise that I am about to weigh in on the topic of some … More Breaking news: Gaming has White male terrorist problem! Also Prince finally finds the courage to share a heartrending tale of his abuse at the hands of Native Americans.
