Forbidden Lands – Report #12 „The Hollows“

The new year began for us with a new session of our Forbidden Lands campaign. There were a lot of new information and developments this time, so our group is forced to act. You can read here what exactly happened.

Annual review 2021

The year 2021 is past and so I would like to review the things that are most important to me and summarize everything. A lot has happened; there have been a lot of new games and cool ideas. I also have a whole series of good resolutions regarding my hobby.

Crescent Moon – Introduction

Based on the playtest version, I had already written a preview of Crescent Moon. Now that I have the finished version in my hands, it’s time for a complete introduction. Crescent Moon was funded at the Zine Quest on Kickstarter. Blades in the Dark (BitD) was the model for the rules, but Crescent Moon is designed for hearty and relaxed play.

Fabula Ultima – Preview

By chance I came across Fabula Ultima, an Italian role-playing game that is due to have an English translation in 2022. As a foretaste there was the Quickstarter of Fabula Ultima for Free RPG Day this year and I was able to get hold of a printed copy.

Forbidden Lands – Report #8-11

I didn’t report on a whole part of our last game nights in the Forbidden Lands. Some of our sessions were quite shorter or consisted of a lot of downtime, especially when expanding the fortress, so I will summarize the last four adventures here.

Shiver – Conclusion “All Hallow’s Eve”

Halloween is already over a few days, but I still owe a conclusion to our horror session. We played the official Shiver-adventure “All Hallow’s Eve” from the adventure anthology “The Cursed Library” and therefore I have to give a spoiler warning as I want to go into various elements of the adventure.

Upriver Downriver – Preview

In addition to dice, from time to time there are other exciting tools to bring random elements into rpgs. It’s the same with Upriver Downriver, which uses the tarot on the one hand as inspiration and on the other as a game mechanic. The funding of the game is currently running on Kickstarter and here is my preview of the game.

Flabbergasted! – Preview

I find games that don’t focus on fighting are always refreshing. Flabbergasted has a unique graphic style that piqued my interest. I took a look at the Quickstart and would like to introduce you to the game in more detail. Flabbergasted was just funded sucessfully on Kickstarter.

Triple Hex Dice – Preview

As a tester of the Space Kraken prototype, I got something to test again from 3D ART LAB. The Triple Hex Dice is a fun gadget that is supposed to be financed through Kickstarter. After trying it out extensively, I would like to put my thoughts on this into words here.

Fight with Spirit – Preview

Once again, there is something to hear from me and I would like to talk to you about a new and very interesting project from Storybrewers Roleplaying, the makers of Good Society. Fight with Spirit brings you a mix of sport and drama, inspired by sports anime. The game is currently on Kickstarter.
