Darwin's World 2: Survivor's Handbook
Publisher: RPG Objects
by Stephane R. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/28/2003 00:00:00

This new edition of Darwin's world is full of new ideas to develop your characters : a lot of new character classes (all of them post-apocalyptic), a new system for mutations (they are feats now and to develop some powers as psionics you have a special character class). Backgrounds and occupations are well developped also.

The system is based on D20 modern but a basic character class is given so D20 modern is really not necessary which is nice.

The second half of the book is weapons and equipment. Well done.

Globally a lot of improvement relatively to the first edition. And a lot of possibilities for roleplay. A pity that all adventures that are proposed are mainly dungeons.

We are now waiting for the game master book. Hurry up!!! :-)

StarCluster 2 Vehicle Design Guide
Publisher: Better Mousetrap Games
by Stephane R. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/23/2003 00:00:00

Not bad. You have a lot of details that you can compile to construct your own vehicule, calculate its speed. That means a lot of tables in these 15 pages, few illustrations (one of them is interesting) and very few text. Needs to be developped.

Skeleton Base (revised)
Publisher: RPG Objects
by Stephane R. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/23/2003 00:00:00

This adventure setting is a very clever adaptation of the metal gods supplements. It lacks some flesh, I mean roleplay interactions with PNJs. As it is, it is mainly a large "dungeon", full of danger and possibly treasures.

Darwin's World: Metal Gods (revised)
Publisher: RPG Objects
by Stephane R. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/23/2003 00:00:00

At the present time, metal gods is probably the best supplement for Darwin's World. We have a good description of the world of the "Ancients", and the description of robots, androids and cyborgs is very detailed, very narrative. D20 rules are well made and give everything we need (including some 45 feats and some excellent prestige classes) to include robot. There is also the possibility to play an android (+3 level racial ajustment!) which is very nice. The end of the book and the mini scenario confine to wargame. We loose the roleplay feeling in the beginning of the book and the adventure hooks are mainly battles against robots. Anyway it is still a very good book.

Sweet Chariot
Publisher: Better Mousetrap Games
by Stephane R. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/23/2003 00:00:00

Sweet Chariot is a very pleasant text. Easy and interesting to read all along. The world is very original, close to "steampunk" but somewhat less technological. Sweet Chariot societies are derived from earth civilisations so they are easy to explain to your players and nonetheless quite exotical. Politics are well developed.

An excellent book.

StarCluster 2 - Papageniopolis Station
Publisher: Better Mousetrap Games
by Stephane R. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/23/2003 00:00:00

Very short. There are good ideas at the basis of this short description of space station but they need to be developped. It is also a good starting points for adventures in starcluster. But the descriptions are so ... short.

Plans are nice but take a lot of place. So these 21 pages are not very dense.

Spiritual Warfare the RPG
Publisher: Agranak Studios
by Stephane R. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/17/2003 00:00:00

Very naive !! Take Dungeon and Dragons and add a christian flavor : you can quote the bible to evoke spiritual powers (the same as in D&D but you must quote the bible exactly in one of the five traductions recommended by the author), you can convert elfs, hobbits, and dwarfs to christianism and you can slay lots of demons. But please do not be too “graphic when describing combat”, that what Satan would like you to do (page 24). The example adventure is “meet villagers and slay demons”. What a pity!!

Except from this slightly ironic critic, I must admit that the book is well written and proposes interesting mechanisms to roleplay proselytism. The rules system is well made and is a pleasant change from the D20 system.

I will never play this game but I was happy to read it. If were to play a christian role playing game, I would rather concentrate on the challenges of ordinary life : being faithful to Christ in the middle of contradictory events, being as good an apostle despite my weaknesses, and relying on hope when everything seems lost. But it is not a game. Definitively. At least this game is funny where “seventh seal”, another christian game of good quality is very dark.

I have discovered Darwin's world quite recently and I am impressed by the quality of the work. This is a very goog post apocalyptic setting and well developped on the DarwinRPG web site.

I was really curious to read this bestiary. And it is indeed very well written and illustrations give a feeling of what kind of monsters the twisted earth should give birth to. It is indeed surprising that such well adapted creatures have appeared on earth in so few years! :-) Definitively necessary for its post apocalyptic flavor.

I have discovered Darwin's world quite recently and I am impressed by the quality of the work. This is a very goog post apocalyptic setting and well developped on the DarwinRPG web site. This particular supplement (cave of life) is a small and nice setting which is suitable for an ambush type scenario.
