Metamorphosis Alpha 1st Edition
Publisher: WardCo.
by STEPHEN U. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 04/09/2023 18:13:16

Love it. Delightfully weird. I have used it 100% for inspiration in other games and my own writing though, I'm not so sure about useability at the table rules as written for modern gamers. Definitely quirky. But -- really cool. Easily one of my cooler PDFs on my digital bookshelf, and one I revisit from time to time for a dose of weird, gonzo, mutant, alien sci-fi. A lot of this stuff is fun to drop on some unsuspecting dwarves or elves in a traditional fantasy RPG session.

A really fun, mystical, gonzo, weird setting. I can't wait to drop it on my players. Takes Guardians of Ynn into a weird realm which callbacked something like Dirk Gently or Dr. Who or something, maybe with a sci-fi lean with the alternate dimension aspect of it.

ICRPG: Hard Suit
Publisher: RUNEHAMMER GAMES
by STEPHEN U. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 04/09/2023 18:04:08

Fantastic. The book leans hard into "discovery play" which is interesting enough and worth running, but Hardsuit itself has a lot of mechancis that work fantastic as hacks to add to any ICRPG game, like size / damage mechanics, the mechancis for the hardsuits themselves and power, and the grit dice. A very cool book, a great Hex-crawl adventure included, really interesting mechancis that I wish were in ICRPG master edition, and an innovative new way to play. As always Runehammer delivers on something akin to a garage band's demo CD that gets them signed immediately to a record label - I could see this being a must have or Ennie winner with the right publishing apparatus behind it. That said, I got a feeling old Hankerin is going to stick to do-it-yourself publishing though, which is great because we get innovative stuff and a fair price. Dig in!

Shadowdark RPG Quickstart Set
Publisher: The Arcane Library
by STEPHEN U. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 04/09/2023 17:56:27

ShadowDark lifts conventions from classic old school D&D and mashes them up masterfully with newer conventions and mechancis, including the d20+modifier roll over universal resolution of most modern versions of D&D, but also some tricks from elsewhere like always in turns from ICRPG and spell casting from DCC. It reads like all of your favorite homerules prepared lovingly for you in a neat package, ready to go. Or, like your own heartbreaker you've been writing since the 90's but haven't gotten around to publishing yet, but with the craft and polish of a skilled creator like Kelsey Dionne of the Arcane Library. Worth noting: the quickstart materials are less complete the promised full edition which is still as of writing (2023-04-09) is still wrapping up. So, not totally complete, but at the price of free definitely worth a download.

Into the Odd – Remastered
Publisher: Free League Publishing
by STEPHEN U. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 04/09/2023 17:25:06

Into the Odd is a masterwork of simplified game design. Ideas like rolling damage in attacks are revolutionary. The GM section likewise contains great advice that ports to any game. Into the Odd in turn powers Mark of the Odd, inspiring a bunch of the most popular indie scene RPGs like Mousritter, Carine, Knave, Liminal Horror, and so on.

INDEX CARD RPG Core 2E
Publisher: RUNEHAMMER GAMES
by Stephen U. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/24/2017 10:25:32

Streamlined system is an inspiration for other games. I think the "effort" mechanic is genuinely innovative, so if you're in the habbit of picking up new games just to see how they tick, this is worth a buy.

Running the game, it frees up a lot of the game masters time to just have fun running the game, and leaves a lot less overhead for new players, leading to quicker mastery of the system and getting in good.
