If you already are a fan of Barbarians of Lemuria and are looking for a supplement that will allow you to play in the pulp genre, then this is it. There really isn't a whole lot else to say. Just a great all-around pulp supplement for one of the best light systems out there.

If you aren't familiar with Barbarians of Lemuria, you will need it to play this game. If you are looking for a light, flexible system that captures the sense of high adventure found in the old pulps and old time radio plays, BoL + Dicey Tales really could be your go to system.

This is a nicely designed product, with lively, relevant art that captures the pulp spirit. The new boons and flaws really help to flesh out the various pulp characters you can create easily with the BoL skeleton. Mejia really gets the genre and this is demonstrated in the text descrptions, which not only flesh out the mechanical elements of the Boons and Flaws but also add tons of inspiring little ideas for characters and adventure hooks. It's what makes this book just fun to read.

The two adventures at the back are nicely done. The first one is a bit too linear for my tastes, but should give plenty of opportunity for the players to engage in creative fisticuffs. The second adventure is much more open-ended, a very elegant little scenario that could go off in many fun directions. Together, the two adventures provide material for a wide range of group playstyles.
