I really didn't want it, but I had never found a gaming book at a thrift store before. And I felt if I did not buy it, I would be angering the thrift store demigod. Of course Cheapobuyz is a fickle demigod, and to this day I haven't found another game book at a thrift store.Zanazazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980968371007703230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-39927162253038970452012-11-24T14:42:03.567-05:002012-11-24T14:42:03.567-05:00That's just cool on principle if no other reas...That's just cool on principle if no other reason. Wasn't there a different Albedo game as well?<br /><br />Given the realistic 'hard' approach the comics took, I imagined classic Traveller would be the idea system for the universe. Never got around to it though. Could never get the old group interested in running Red Wall, or Mouse Guard for that matter, never mind full anthropomorphics.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009433185355976238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-72568447751417602882012-11-24T13:47:04.496-05:002012-11-24T13:47:04.496-05:00I still have my copy (though I never did get the s...I still have my copy (though I never did get the supplements). I agree that it's not a very good design. The author, Paul Kidd, continued to refine his system, presenting it for Renaissance-flavored fantasy (with a bunch of furry-like races, such as "half-horses" [centaurs] and such instead of elves and dwarfs) in <i>Lace & Steel</i>, which wasn't half bad, though it had some annoying card-based mechanics that meant that the game couldn't be played if the game group lost their decks (say, in a dramatic Coca-Cola-based accident - fortunately for me, this has not happened to my copy).<br /><br />(<i>Aside as a hint to prospective game designers: if you must include a card-based mechanic, base it on either normal playing cards or tarot cards. This allows players to more easily replace their decks after your print runs have been exhausted.</i>)faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-66966518728598653412012-11-24T13:25:34.406-05:002012-11-24T13:25:34.406-05:00I have owned that game, but could never get my fri...I have owned that game, but could never get my friends to play it.
