All is not well in Brierfield. The idyllic halfling village has fallen prey to unknown bandits and marauders. These peaceful victims of shattered loves and broken dreams need a band of heroes to save them. Are you willing to help them in their time of needs?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<strong>A Pipeful Of Trouble </strong>is a <em>Classic Edition Adventures</em> module for player characters levels 1-3. It features a nice mix of social interaction, a dab of wilderness travel, caves, and a traditional dungeon complex. There are strong role-playing elements, inlcuding potential ethical quandaries, though these can be toned down or dispensed with altogether should the group prefer a more martial approach.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<strong>A Pipeful Trouble</strong> includes:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<li>Interesting NPCs</li>
<li>Difficult opponents</li>
<li>Dangerous locales</li>
<li>Harrowing situations</li>
<li>A brand new monster</li>
<li>Maps for Brierfield, Merrywood route to the caves, a cave and dungeon maps</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<strong>A Pipeful Of Trouble</strong> is written for <em>Labyrinth Lord* </em>but can easily be used with any OSR or d20 fantasy system, or with the original fantasy game.</div>

<i>"I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT PROTOS V SEXBOT!"</i><br />
<br />
The review version is a PDF.<br />
<br />
If you don't already know, <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/116291271643055553670" target="_blank">+Venger Satanis</a> is currently one of the best roleplaying games writer focused on weird, horror, sleazy and old-school; both fantasy and scifi. <b>Alpha Blue</b> is a great game, and <i>Girls Gone Rogue</i> made it even better with so much more material to use. What will <i>Universal Exploit</i>s add to this sleazy space setting? Let's find out!<br />
<br />
The book is divided into two chapters, "Rules, tables and setting" and "Suggestions, scenarios, and extras". But before the actual content begins, we get to read a three pages long short-story, which is<br />
<br />
I wasn't a fan of <b>Alpha Blue</b> art, <i>Girls Gone Rogue </i>was way better and now <i>Universal Exploits</i> has best illustration of the trio! There are pictures from the same artist I disliked in the main game, but they blend well with other styles and artists, as they are no more (crappy) majority. They work now way much better. And line art is awesome. A warning though, many of the pictures are x-rated and sexual in theme with full frontal nudity and sexual acts, but there are also plenty of other science fiction imaginary. The porn doesn't bother me, though. Sure the sexual images oversexualize women and there could be more naked, porny men, too for balance. Again, be warned, there are so many images from which social justice warriors would rip their asses half. There are also few colored pictures, which is a nice addition.<br />
<br />
Venger's writing is eloquent as ever, so the reading experience is really good. Everything is explained well with great writing. Because <b>Alpha Blue's</b> rules are extremely minimal and simple, you learn the rules additions easily and quickly. And there are plenty of them with lots and lots of random tables. The rules additions really give more detail for the campaign.<br />
<br />
The strength of <b>Alpha Blue</b> product line are the random tables. There are so many, and they are so different. Many are really useful, some just fun additions to weird days you might need one. And what is best of these random tables, they are really inspiring for stories. You can easily just collect all you <b>Alpha Blue</b> books and start rolling tables, taking notes, and soon you have an adventure done. And naturally, you can use these tables in middle of the game to spice up, or sex up, the action and scenes. Religions, desires, alien worlds, locations, events, planets... everything in tables!<br />
<br />
But because <b>Alpha Blue</b> as whole is basically made of tables after tables, you should write down all the random tables and collect them into one big index, so you know what tables are in what sourcebook. Otherwise it could be overwhelming to remember all the available material, yet shuffle through all the books to find the right table for the situation (in all sourcebooks and main rulebook together there are random tables for <u>almost</u> any situation).<br />
<br />
One great part is domain management. In old-school games, when you have adventured enough, it is time to invest your money on some land. In this sourcebook, you can do it in space!<br />
<br />
<i>Suggestions, Scenarios, And Extras</i> gives you hints and tips how to run an <b>Alpha Blue</b> game. Venger is an awesome (Space) Dungeon Master (proof: <b><a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product/148728/How-to-Game-Master-like-a-Fucking-Boss?affiliate_id=795277" target="_blank">How To Game Master Like A Fucking Boss</a></b>) who doesn't hesitate to share his experiences how to make games... well... fucking awesome. This chapter has lots of actual game expamples and suggestions how to get players involved in adventures - and how to make them adventure. Universal Exploits is an adventurers' agency after all!<br />
<br />
You also get adventures, but in my opinion they are not that handy to refer during the play and read more than explained short stories. They feel a little railroading also. There are plenty of them, though, and even if not fun to run (I cannot decide that for you, or even myself without actually running them!) they are good fiction of the <b>Alpha Blue</b> setting. Some of the adventures here are more a location, where stuff is going on. A nice addition.<br />
<br />
In my opinion, <b>Universal Exploits</b> is a great sourcebook for any science fiction game with weird, gonzo and action. If your game is pornographic -or needs more porn- even better. If you strip all the naughty, you still have lots of great content to use in different scifi settings. Well worth the buck!<br />
<br />
Also with the PDF you get separate files for the maps included in the book. They are absolutely brilliant. <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/116933315993109548253" target="_blank">+MonkeyBlood Design</a> has outdone himself.<br />
<br />
One final warning. Because the product is filled with tables and content, PDF version of it might be slow to use in actual game, when shuffling the book is nicer and easier. Just my opinion.<br />

<i>Before I begin with the review, I want you to know, that I have had a privilege to work with this game. I did the layout, edited the text, made covers and a character sheet and discussed rules. But this review is not biased, because when I received the draft for this game, I fell in love. As I said, it was a privilege for me to get a change to work with <b>The Blood Hack</b> and its author <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/110222677595106243956" target="_blank">+Matthew Skail</a>.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I love <b>The Black Hack</b>. It takes my favorite rules system and tweaks it to simplier and more versatile form. Even though I still enjoy early D&D and OSR games, <b><a href="http://cryptofrabies.blogspot.fi/2016/03/review-black-hack.html" target="_blank">The Black Hack</a></b> is something different, yet familiar. And because it is a versatile system, it is easy to reproduce for different genres, like <b><a href="http://cryptofrabies.blogspot.fi/2016/10/review.html" target="_blank">Cyber-Hacked!</a></b> which makes cyberpunk fun and fast or <b><a href="http://cryptofrabies.blogspot.fi/2016/09/review-super-hack.html" target="_blank">The Super Hack</a></b> which makes super heroes not a chore, with roots to my favorite game(s).<br />
<br />
In early 2000 I played <b>Vampire: The Masquerade</b>. I played it a lot! So much I grew sick of it for various different reasons. When I found OSR, I started to think what <b>V:tM</b> would be with OSR rules. When I found <b>The Black Hack</b>, I started thinking what playing vampires in <i>World Of Darkness</i> style campaign would be with it. Then at Google Plus I found out, that Matthew was working on a game using <b>The Black Hack</b> rules with a feel of 90s vampires and modern gothicpunk world.<br />
<br />
And damned <b>The Black Hack</b> system works brilliantly with vampires!<br />
<br />
You get the normal rules, where you roll everything under your Stats, be it fighting, different tasks or saving rolls. Because this game is set to a modern era, you also get rules for vehicles, firearms, chases and such, which all work great with the simple core mechanics.<br />
<br />
There are four different vampire classes from four different Houses of the Blood. They are not just those four core fantasy races re-dressed with fangs, but great write-ups with different knowledges and skills. Each of them is great for different types of archtypes from magisters to warriors.<br />
<br />
Vampires naturally have their supernatural powers, Gifts. They gain Gifts more experienced they get, and start with few. You are free to develop your vampire with Gifts you want to take, and are not restricted to bloodlines that determine your future gifts. The gifts are not only things that boost your vampire to be more powerful than human, they are many really clever and more towards roleplaying rather than rollplaying.<br />
<br />
Some vampires can also learn rituals, which are blood powered powerful magic. There are five levels of ritual powers, from quite simple to truly horrific! The rituals are absolutely fantastic and don't feel that they are just replacing fantasy roleplaying game's spells. They are a different beast, and add extra flavor to the game.<br />
<br />
The great thing is how the innovation of usage die is used with blood points and morale (basically humanity from <b>V:tM</b>). Instead of calculating and spending blood points like hit points, you roll usage die for blood for example when powering gifts or healing. Morale has an absolutely brilliant adaptation of usage die what really captures the downward spiral of vampire morality! Really elegant adaptation of the original system, where you used usage die for inventory items.<br />
<br />
You also get lots of different NPC stats from commoners to supernatural beings. Many have special rules, which are simple, yet flavourful.<br />
<br />
<b>The Blood Hack</b> has everything you need to begin playing in dark modern days as an undead vampire, who only doesn't struggle with her humanity, but also the dangers of the night. If you liked <b>World Of Darkness</b> games, this is a must have or you like <b>The Black Hack</b>, this is a great addition to your collection to mix with other "hack" genres.<br />
<br />
Year 2017 has just started, but as an ex-Vampire fan and a big <b>The Black Hack</b> rules system fan, at this point I can already say, that <b>The Blood Hack</b> will be one of the greatest RPG products of this year.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></h2>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">WHAT IS WHITE STAR?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>White Star</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> is </span><b>Dungeons & Dragons</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> in space, using </span><b>Swords & Wizardry WhiteBox</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> rules. Basically it is OD&D with a modern and simplified touch, frosted with space-themes. You get everything you need to play, including space crafts combat! In short, easy and fun science fiction gaming where the rules are not a cumberstone!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">HOUSE RULE: DIS/ADVANTAGE</span></b><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">I plan to play-by-the-book as much as possible. There are not many different rules, anyways. Only thing I am going to adapt is the dis/advantage system from <b>D&D 5e </b>and/or <b>The Black Hack</b>. Skill tests are d20 < attribute rolls. If the conditions are favorable OR character should know what she is doing or her character class is good at the task, she'll gain an advantage. If conditions are bad, she'll get a disadvantage instead. Easy.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">SETTING</span></b><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">I am going to use <b>White Star</b>'s default setting with some additional touches from me as a starting point for my campaign. A remote location, with three factions: Space Pirates, Galactic Consortium and The Resistance. Galactic Consortium has cut this sector from rest of the space by shutting down the only (known) jump gate there. They want total power and dictatorship and don't want anyone or anything from other sectors or places to come and interfere with their plans. When they have a total control of this Kelron sector they begin to build their military strength to take on a sector after a sector... Or that's their plan on the paper!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
It was 60 years ago when Galactic Consortium cut out the power of the jump gate. It is now heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to get near to it. Safety reasons, they say, but the rebels know better...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Supreme Lord Adlar is either very old, or not completely human anymore. True, some genetics and advanced medical care can expand normal human lifespan, but people talk. Some say that Supreme Lord Adlar is half human, half machine. Some whisper that he has learned darkest secrets of the Void and is immortal. Whatever the truth is, Supreme Lord Adlar's humanity is long lost, and what remains is hunger for power.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Galactic Consortium wants to bend everyone within the Kelron sector into its will. Those who will not become workers or warriors for them, shall die. Galactic Consortium has been careful this far not to just go killing people, as there are more free-willed than brainwashed followers. But they will get there in a way or another...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Resistance is against the Galactic Consortium believing in free will and democracy. They are strong, as Galactic Consortium is not yet ready to fight the people and the mass. They fight against the most active and loud members of the Resistance, using not only firepower and force but also propaganda.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Space Pirates are just people who want to make riches fast by venturing the space and smuggling and stealing. They are stuck here, when the Galactic Consortium cut out the jump gate - only way away from this sector. Many original of the Space Pirates who got stuck into this sector are already dead, but their power and will are strong. They recruit new individuals continually amongst those who want true freedom to travel and explore. They have no place with Resistance and the people, as they are feared because of their original arrival of plunder. They refuse to take steps towards the Galactic Consortium which originally restricted their freedom of travel.</div>
<div>
Space Pirates are a loose faction. There are gangs with one leader, the Overcaptain. But as long as the gangs do what the Overcaptain says, anything can happen, resulting that the gangs are rivals. Some of them respect each other, some of them are backstabbers.</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Planets and other places of interests are vague enough to be used as they are written in the book, so adding material and adventures custom to the events of the campaign will be easy.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>PLAYER CHARACTER</b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">This campaign is for only one player, my girlfriend. She has interest in playing Aristocrat character class, which is a little different from other classes more familiar to <b>D&D</b> or <b>Hulks & Horrors</b>, what we have played earlier. Because this is a one-on-one campaign, I let her roll her stats 4d6 drop the lowest and assign at will. Because more interesting in this is the story of the character than the adventures. Well the adventures create the character, but in this case player will be playing her character, the antagonist of the setting, and her story will be on focus instead of the story what developes by playing adventure modules. If it makes any sense at all.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Player character will also have NPC companions from the beginning of the game. They are close to her, her crew, her comrades, her support, her friends.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
Player will choose which faction her character will be a member of. She can be part of Galactic Consortium and try to get rid of resistance in order for her faction to conquer this section before they travel forth. Or she might be part of the Resistance and fight against the Galactic Consortium. If she is a Space Pirate, she will do this and that freelancing for her own good - and maybe towards opening the gate so Space Pirates can get out of this section. It's not good for the business to have been space pirating the same sector for over 60 years!</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>CAMPAIGN BEGINNING</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
I'll start the campaign with the beginning adventure from the <b>White Star</b> rulebook called <i>The Second Battle Of Brinn</i>. It's a good introduction to the system, and I can sneak lots of campaign background information. Depending on which faction the player character will belong to.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Galactic Consortium: The player and her crew must retrieve the data so the Rebels don't get their hands on it.</li>
<li>Resistance: Get the data before Galactic Consortium will get it, because it is important for the cause.</li>
<li>Space Pirates: The data is valuable, and will be easy to sell for the highest bidder - Galactic Consortium of Resistance. But before you sell it, you should make a copy of it. The information must be important, because them two factions are both after it. (At location 7, there are pirates, but they are from another gang).</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>WHAT WILL HAPPEN?</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
It depends on the player and her character's actions and motives, what the campaign will be like. I will use some scifi adventures and modules I have, dropping them into the campaign where they fit - or I will make the campaign fit the adventures. I did this same thing when I ran <b>Labyrinth Lord</b> for her. We had this campaign plan, the great plot, but I used all different adventure material to flesh it out with fun content.</div>

<a href="http://www.lotfp.com/store/image/cache/data/SlugsCoverDisplay-350x350.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.lotfp.com/store/image/cache/data/SlugsCoverDisplay-350x350.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<i>Slügs </i>was a <a href="http://www.freerpgday.com/" target="_blank">free RPG day</a> sourcebook, now available for everyone <a href="http://www.lotfp.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=235" target="_blank">in print for a very reasonable price</a>, and when they're all gone, a pay-what-you-want PDF will be released.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most of the <b>LotFP </b>publications are adventures or settings, few being sourcebooks (like <i>Vornheim</i> for city adventures or <i>The Seclusium Of Orphone </i>for creating mages' towers). <b>LotFP</b> doesn't believe in traditional monster books, as its weird fantasy philosophy is, that each creature/monster encountered should be unique instead of just something out from monster manual. <b>Slügs</b> is a compilation of monsters - slugs in this case - but they are all unique and individuals. Or that's the impression the text gives. You don't meet 10 "muscle slügs" (yes, they're there) guarding a treasure in a dungeon.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are 16 different slügs in total, each different. Generally the aren't just meatbags and hit points for player characters to grind for experience and loot, they all have a gimmick or two - but the gimmicks are not stupid. Well, some of them are, like the christmas slüg what you get presents from if you're lucky, or breakfast slüg which is a slimy bowl of cereal. These slügs can be a big part of campaign, and a quest to find, for example the doctor slug to be found to cure horrible wounds and damage an adventurer party member has suffered. Some will make a quest, like mentallo slüg, who knows the future and wants you to prevent something horrible from happening. Some of them just have an effect, like sluggish slüg. But for those who want to fight horrible monsters, there are more traditional slügs like the vomit slug.</div>
<div>
<br />
There are NSFW work included, but the quality of drawings is great. <b>Kelvin Green</b>'s<i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>(<i><a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product/127041/Forgive-Us?affiliate_id=795277" target="_blank">Forgive Us</a></i>) slüg drawings are great and he has captured the different qualities of the various slügs very well. <b>Yannick Bouchard</b>'s inside covers are his usual great quality. And <b>Rich Longmore</b>'s cover that expands to the back is very colorful.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Slügs</i> was a fun read. There are many different slugs from which almost any Game Master can find something to throw into their campaign world. Many of them are humorous, some even stupid, but most of them are easily usable (the humorous and stupid depend on the players and campaign, rest don't that much). Even <i>IF</i> Slügs was just a big joke, you can use it without making your campaign just silly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the price of less than a dollar, when you order anything from <b>LotFP</b> strore, there is no excuse of not including this to it. I say, go get it!</div>

He knows, that I play roleplaying games and other games. I met him at a local gaming event (<a href="http://cryptofrabies.blogspot.fi/2016/11/report-national-gaming-week-event-at.html" target="_blank">National gaming day at Pori</a>), and he liked what he saw; people playing miniature games (<b>Malifaux</b>, <b>Batman</b>...). So we decided to have a boy's night with kebab and pizza, beer, candy, and miniatures! I chose <b>Space Crusade</b>, because it has <b>Warhammer 40k</b> (even though the plastic minis are simplier than wargame version's) in it but it is really simple. Even one of my friends, who couldn't care less about my gaming interests enjoyed it - and was talking about photon grenades - something she has a zero interest in generally. With a guy who is already interested in stuff like this and has seen it in action, what could go wrong? Nothing!<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-size: small;">And finally some roleplaying in action. I am running <b>Hood</b>, a Finnish new rpg where you play one of Robin Hood's merry men. The mechanics are simple, yet encourage you to use your imagination in your advance. You have five d20 you use for different actions in your turn; 2 dice to kick the guard's nuts, 2 dice to push him over and 1 die to run past him. It's quite fun! There are a problem or two in the rules in my opinion, though. There is no any kind of feel of danger - you just don't get damage or other that easily for it to matter at all - what is the biggest flaw. And I am not that sure how long a campaign will run being interesting, and not just a thing where you do fancy and funny stunts. One does not simply watch hundreds of hours Erol Flynn movies (or does?).<br />And product layout is just horrible! GAH!<br />I do recommend <b>Hood</b> (currently for Finnish audience only), for it is a fun game.<br /><br />Unfortunately this was the only game I ran. No <b>Cyber-Hacked!</b>. No even more <b>Hood</b>. I know that In Pori tabletop games, card games, wargames and such are very, very popular, but roleplaying games not so. Also I think that when people go to events, they want to eat snacks, drink soda, and talk with their friends instead of focus for a longer period of time in an imaginary world - which is social, but not event/whole group social. There must be a roleplaying games only event, so maybe those wargamers can leave their awesome minis for a second.<br /><br />I personally enjoyed the event a lot. Pori is very active in gaming scene, and people are awesome! They are so nice, fun and cool. With <b>D-oom</b> it's been easy for me to blend in, but sometimes I hope I could go play some demo games, instead of patrolling my booth. That was a reason why I decided to run roleplaying games with my booth, to participate into gaming experience of the event. There were distractions because of customers, but it was okay. Miniatures gaming could be a bit harder, or maybe easier. As long as I can rush quickly behind my cashier it would be fine.<br /><br />Anyways, can't wait for the next event with <b>Porin Pöytäpeliseura Pöllökarhut</b> (in English: Pori's tabletop gamers society Owlbears). I'll be there, and enjoy it fullheartedly.</span></td></tr>

<b>The Black Hack</b> is fast and fun and D&D compatible fantasy system, which has already been hacked to fill a <a href="http://cryptofrabies.blogspot.fi/2016/09/review-super-hack.html" target="_blank">genre that I have not played yet</a> (disclaimer: supers!). I have played both Shadowrun and Cyberpunk, 2300AD had a cybernetics sourcebook and I am pretty sure I've played GURPS cyberpunk stuff, too. So, cyberpunk in roleplaying games is not new for me. I've longed for a cyberpunk D&D. There are cyberstuff for OSR, but this is my first actual cyberpunk OSR D&D compatible game. Exciting!<br />
<br />
Author <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/104780290634286531079" target="_blank">+Mike Evans</a> and illustrator <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/101741476056657498230" target="_blank">+Alex Mayo</a> are both cool guys with awesome gaming ideas and stuff. So this should be very, very good!<br />
<br />
The PDF is 21 pages, with 18 pages of actual RPG stuff, including the character sheet. What I love in <b>TBH</b> is that you get a full RPG rules you learn to play while you eat a dinner before the game night begins. Like other <b>TBH</b> hacks, the layout is simple and apes the original. The only picture is on the cover. Very printer-friendly and space efficient, yet dull.<br />
<br />
The rules are basically a carbon copy of <b>TBH </b>with few exceptions and additions that suit a modern genre. This starts to get annoying. Sure, you only need this to run the game, but now I am starting to get many, many copies of <b>The Black Hack</b> rules. It would be ace if the layout would be that when I'd print this, I could opt out all the basic and core <b>TBH</b> rules and only print the new stuff that is not already included in the original game. But it doesn't happen here. Small additional and new rules are scattered here and there within the text already in other hacks and the main game.<br />
<br />
The most important new rules are <i>full auto fire</i>, which is simple. In many games when you shoot more than one shot the rules get wonky and slow. This is not the case here. Funny thing is, though, that two handed combat also affects guns you hold with two hands. But if you think about it, this is an elegant way in making bigger weapons more damaging, when the core mechanic is, that weapon damage is class based. Very, very clever!<br />
<br />
<i>Drugs</i> are also easy. They give a small bonus, but you suffer disadvantage(s) under influence. Also addiction is as simple. Great! Taking drugs is fast and easy.<br />
<br />
<i>Vehicles</i> and <i>chases</i> have also simple rules in the fashion of <b>TBH</b>. They are pretty good and should cover most of the situations. When a vehicle is shot enough, it is destroyed and there is a 50/50 chance can it be salvaged or not. Chase is a simple series of attribute tests, where you either gain or lose distance. Pretty boring, and it could take a long time to just roll after roll. There should be an extra rule for dangerous manouvres to gain more than 1 point of distance (starting from 5, 10 to escape, 1 to get caught). Manouvres are easily done, roll with disadvantage to gain double points. Still dull, but adds danger and story element (I try to steer to this narrow alley...).<br />
<br />
One of the most important rules in a cyberpunk game is <i>hacking. </i>I think <b>Cyberpunk 2020</b> is an awesome game, but the hacking part of it is extremely dull - and slow. Normal hacking in <b>Cyber-Hacked</b><i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>is a simple INT test, but there is also more detailed rules, using die-drop table! You take a number of dice and drop them on a paper. The die type and value tell from a random table, what it is. Then connect them and voilá, you got a quickly generated data network to be hacked! All the stuff you do hacking you use usage die to do. When it's dropped to zero, you're booted. <u>These hacking rules are fast, fun and brilliant!</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
You also get <i>contacts</i> who are basically people you can use as resources, and you can be either a human or a synthetic before you choose a class. There are 7 classes to choose from, including a psychic. The classes basically work like in <b>TBH</b>, they each have something special they do. In addition, they now are listed with starting equipment (you, I dislike buying normal gear for characters) and an interesting trinket. Some of these classes are modified from the basic classes, some are a bit different. I think every player should find their favorite easily from these.<br />
Different kind of everyone other is Psychic, who can use his psychic abilities per day based on his level. These abilities are basically like spells in a fantasy game.<br />
<br />
Equipment list is minimal, but enough. Cyberware has no special rules. You can have 4 of the (one character class being an exception) to gain some bonuses or other effects. That's it. No problems between a line where human ends and a machine starts. There could have been a little more to this, because now cyberware is just like equipment.<br />
<br />
There's plenty of enemy stats to fight and use, but there could have been few more, because now the one page table doesn't reach the end of the page, but leaves an empty white space being short. This layout problem could have been fixed with more enemies! This is plenty already, but it just looks sloppy and lazy.<br />
<br />
So, what do I think? This is very, very good in a <b>The Black Hack</b> good. <b>TBH</b> family products are DIY. A bit raw, but full of good ideas (WHEN THEY ARE GOOD, THAT IS) with simple and fun core mechanics. Even though it's dull to get same basic rules all over again, the additions to cyberpunk genre included in <b>CYBER-HACKED</b> are great. Inexpensive price, D&D compatible, fast to learn, fast to play... I see no reasons why everyone shouldn't get a copy. Even though you don't plan to play a campaign of <b>CYBER-HACKED</b>, you can keep this just in case, if someday, someone wants to play some cyberpunk in 10 minutes!<br />

Today with my buddy <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/103160389428869576784" target="_blank">+Kookko Jaskinen</a> we did it again, now at a grill-lunch joint near my place called <a href="http://www.lankoski.com/default.asp?op=naytakoffi" target="_blank">Köffi</a>. Laptops spread, rulebook wide open, character sheet in front of me and dice scattered, we continued my homebrew lizardman Cleric's quest to this evil northern tower...<br />

Last time we killed some zombies we found venturing forth the tower, what was used for a kind of a rapture thingie, where dead bodies souls were sent to heaven and bodies left down the earth. Now there are zombies coming out of the tower, and my lizardman Cleric, Styx Purplescale has been sent to investigate.<br />
<br />
Last time I found this prison camp, and got few NPCs to follow me. They think I am someone else I don't even know who he is, but it's okay, they follow me. Hah! Have I worried or even considered what'll happen when they find out I am not the guy they think I should be? Nope.<br />
<br />
So, more zombies, we kill them. Then we get to the tower. Lots of traces, no clear where zombies come from. About four floors high, upper floor (third, maybe, hard to say) has a faint light inside. Only one entrance inside the tower, but guarded by goblins - small, nasty, stupid, cowardice... We attack them from both side, and soon those who are alive flee!<br />
<br />
Next time... inside the tower!<br />
<br />
As you can see, we didn't have that much time to play. But it was fun. Fantasy AGE is a good system, even though I still think everything has too many hit points! An average low level monster has over 20 hit points! My dude does 2d6+1 damage with fire blast spell, and 1d3+1 melee damage. One dude does 1d6+1 damage. Well, our two handed sword fighter dude does 3d6+2, but that's crazy (and great). So, average damage of 4-5 points versus 25 point monsters is too much for me to handle. Sure, there are stunts, but you need a pretty decent stunt score to get an additional attack or +1d6 extra damage.<br />
<br />
Kookko told me that running the game was a chore, at least this time. I do understand, when you compare stats to OSR (what you need are AC, HD and damage, most of the time for combat). Next time I shall take all NPC info and roll everything for them, and check their numbers myself. This time I did help rolling NPC stuff, but needed to check the bonuses etc. We will play this again, it's quite fun, at least in player's stool.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04674233268949925440noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502248723986008778.post-85744182804463802742016-09-30T22:47:00.000+03:002016-09-30T22:47:24.106+03:00[Patreon] Purple Of Green Priestess Yolanda Ziggurat + Final RedemptionBeen a busy (and awful) month.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">INTRODUCTION</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
One of my favorite parts about DMing is the world building. For me one of the most important elements in a fantasy word that feels real and immersive are the religions and beliefs. Whenever I sit down to create a new setting I seem to spend most of the time thinking about the world's pantheon and the Gods individually. This religion is something I came up when I wanted to create a single God religion mostly followed by humans. The setting that I created this into is a high magic setting so I wanted to make this sort of a "simple man's" religion. I think this religion works well outside of the original setting too, as we are using this in totally different campaign and setting with my buddy <i>Thaumiel Nerub</i>. So that being said go ahead and use this in your own worlds if it pleases you. The illustrations are quick and little bit shitty references (drawing isn't my strong suite) trying to help you envision my idea.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">THE LORE</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<i>"The God of all good things..."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Westra is also known as the "Timeless Wanderer" as he wanders through the realm disguised as an old man dressed in rags. Wherever he went he healed the sick and injured, blessed the crops and granted light for the ones dwelling in the dark. Every time he performed such a miracle he told everyone to have faith in Westra and pray for Westra's blessing. Needless to say that most people thought that he was just another mad wizard. However, there were some people who were so impressed and happy because of this helpful stranger that they started to pray and build altars, shrines, and even churches for him. Many lords and kings felt that their position was threatened by this strange man as more and more people fanatically preached about his miracles. And so these people were labeled as heretics and they were banished from cities and towns. They quickly found each other and formed the original congregation of the Church of Westra, also known as "The Wandering Congregation".<br />
They followed in the footsteps of this strange old man wandering across the realm and preaching about Westra waiting for signs of their God's actual existence. The first sign came in the form of powers and abilities that the most fanatic members of the congregation started to manifest. These members became the leaders of the congregation. Performing miracles of their own they started to call themselves "clerics" (or priests, whatever fits better into your setting). The second sign came when the congregation stumbled upon a cave where they decided to spend the night because of the terrible storm and they were not the only ones with the same plan. The same old man that once told them about Westra had already set up camp in the cave and that night the very first divine service was held. On this service the old man told the truth to his loyal worshippers that he was indeed Westra in disguise and passed his divine wisdom and teachings. The clerics recorded Westra's every word that night and so the "Book Of Wisdom" was created.<br />
During the service Westra told about his vision of a cataclysmic (or apocalyptic even, if you prefer) event looming in the near future. Westra promised that all who follow his teachings would survive that event unharmed. The third sign came when the event that Westra spoke of actually happened, and the people who were part of the congregation survived just like Westra promised. After this event no one could deny the divine existence of Westra and the church quickly established a sturdy foothold in the realm.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">CHURCH OF VESTRA TODAY</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
The church is alive and well and churches and even temples can be found in most of the major cities and towns. In villages and settlements there is usually an alter or a shrine. Clerics work in these holy sites or as wanderers honoring the origins of their lord. The clerics address their equals as Brothers/Sisters and their superiors as /Fathers/Mothers. Every church and temple has an elder cleric in charge and the entire congregation is led by the High Cleric. All the members address the High Cleric as High Father/High Mother. The overall theme of the congregation is very strict and disciplined and the hierarchy is respected at all times. The average members of the congregation (your simple Jill's and Joe's) are of course at the very bottom of the food chain kneeling before the clerics to stay in good terms with their God. Clerics bend the knee to elder clerics and disrespecting your superior is believed to be one of the most effective ways to be smited by the wrath of Westra himself.<br />
Church of Westra is known the be the "simple man's religion", because of the fact that the congregation never questions their God or superiors. Whenever the phrase "behold the word of God" is spoken (or written) by a superior member of the congregation, all the inferior members must believe, obey, and accept or face the consequences. This means that kings and lords mean nothing to the congregation. This usually creates a lot of tension between the congregation and the rulers of the realm.<br />
The strict code of onedience is not seen as cruel or wrong by the congregation because that's the way it always has been. But people outside the congregation often see this as twisted. The rules of hierarchy are of course more relevant to the clerics serving in the temples and churches than to the clerics wandering around the realm. This is the reason why wanderers are usually people with authority issues or people who prefer the solitude on the road. Wanderers rarely stop at temples or churches, but when they do, the same rules of hierarchy apply for them. Usually wanderers work alone, but some wanderers work in small groups. In a group like this the same hierarchy applies; one of the clerics is the elder cleric in charge, just like in a temple or a church.<br />
Those who wish to become clerics must pass the Path of Enlightenment, a physical and spiritual training known to be extremely challenging. Before one can step on to the Path of Enlightenment, one must be a baptized member of the congregation.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The holy symbol of Westra is fairly simple, but has a specific meaning to it. It is made from any material at hand. For example a blacksmith could make himself one from iron and another peasant could carve one from a piece of wood. The clerics of course put more money into their symbols and usually have them made from silver, or even gold. Jewels are rarely used in the holy symbols, but the center dot might be a ruby in the holy symbol of the High Cleric.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The black dot represents Westra himself looking down to the world. The dark gray part (the carved part in worn symbols) represents the congregation as Westra takes care of his followers and worshippers first and foremost. Finally the light gray part represents the rest of the world and it's inhabitants as Westra looks after all the mortals of the world.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Clerics working in the temples or churches are dressed in white robes with a bright red cloth belt. The holy symbol is always worn on top of the robes. They never wear hats. The outfit of an elder cleric is similar with the exception of a bright red shoulder cape. The robes of the High Cleric are the same as those of an elder cleric with the exception of a holy symbol stitched onto the chest part of the robe and the jewelry worn on top of the cloth belt.</div>

This is the first superheroes hack (as far as I know) for the popular phenomenom called <b>The Black Hack </b>(<a href="http://cryptofrabies.blogspot.fi/2016/03/review-black-hack.html" target="_blank">my review</a>). <b>TBH</b> is so popular, because the rules are super lite still being very old-school compatible with <b>Dungeons & Dragons</b>, and it is easy, you guessed right, to hack!<br />
<br />
There has been several different hacks for <b>TBH</b> core game with variable quality. Some are awesome, some feel just that they're made for easy money to milk from a popular brand (core rules copy pasted only a thing or two of addition).<br />
<br />
Before I go to the actual review, I must say that I have not played superhero roleplaying games. Ever! I did own True20 powered <b>Mutants & Masterminds 2nd Edition</b>, which had a great amount of powers which worked great for character creation and concepts, but point buy character creation was a turn off, especially when you had to use a pool of points to buy everything from stats to gear! I hate that kind of stuff. At the moment in my collection I have <b>Champions 4th Edition</b>, but it is very thick and looks so boring, I've never read it more than a couple of sentences at once! That's no thanks for me.<br />
<br />
As a big fan of <b>The Black Hack</b>, which I have ran several times and have played a couple of times and had tons of fun with it always, I am very enthusiastic of this product. Easy and versatile system and the page count is not intimidating at all: the PDF clocks at 20 pages, with 16 pages of actual content (one of those being a character sheet and another a play example, so there's 14 pages of rules and material).<br />
<br />
Visually <b>The Super Hack</b> imitates the original source. Instead of ink drips on pages, there are low-ish resolution cracks. The core mechanics of the game are explained clearly, as is character creation. Even better than in the original game! Because this is a superhero game, you choose superpowers determined by your class of choice with some freedom. You can also pick one superpower more than once to juice it up. Characters start with two pieces of (special) equipment, a costume and a secret identity. The equipment list is extremely short, only 12 items! There should be more of them, at least 20 to make at least a decent random table. Items have special rules, which are pretty good and usage die is well thought and adapted in many cases.<br />
<br />
The rules are quite similar to <b>The Black Hack</b>, but there are minor differences. One is proficiency, which I don't understand at all. If character uses or wears and equipment that is not appropriate for her class or superpowers, they add their Protection Points to any rolls to attack or avoid damage with a disadvantage. But there are no guidelines what gear is inappropriate to what class or superpower. In addition the rule is stupid; more powerful you are to protect yourself, the crappier you are at using some stuff. Weird and not making any sense to me. If someone can explain this to me...<br />
<br />
Majority of other rules are a carbon copy from <b>The Black Hack</b>. A great addition is a sub-table for Out Of Action, called This Is Serious. I really, really like this one! In format one weird thing is, that enemy HD are listed under Initiative section.<br />
<br />
There are four different superhero classes, which are quite stupid. They should be more broad and cover different types of heroes. Crimefighter is silly, because aren't all super<i>heroes</i> crimefighters in a way or another. Other's are like a Warrior from the original game without extra attacks, and a Thief who is just good at shooting getting also Warrior's extra attacks. And then there is a guy with just very good saves. Character classes are not that good, they are unimaginative and don't represent different hero stereotypes as they should.<br />
<br />
When characters level up, they can in addition to possible attribute increaswes also develop their superpowers further, which is nice. Superpowers have a better effect (actually this is the same table as <b>The Black Hack</b>'s damage table). They also have an usage die, which is regained after a rest. There are 20 superpowers (two with variations, so actually 22) and the list is quite nice covering all kinds of powers to combine to create an unique superhero.<br />
<br />
There is also a rule, that with advantages and disadvantages (roll 2d20, and pick better/worse), GM can also apply modifiers (this rule wording didn't meet editor's eyes, it's super wonky) which basically change the simple idea of advantages and disadvantages backwards to modifier calculation. Unnecessary addition to <b>The Black Hack</b> rules.<br />
<br />
Instead of "Armor Points" characters have "Protection Points", which basically is the same thing; damage reduction that is refilled after rest. One fun thing in combat is that a group of thugs represents one hit die point per a good - so when you score 5 points of damage, you actually stun (superheroes don't kill people, do they?) 5 of the enemies! Very, very fun detail, where you can feel your character's power compared to ordinary thugs! There are only seven different example baddies included, which should be enough for an example, because in super games most of the bad guys and gals are unique anyways.<br />
<br />
In my opinion <b>The Super Hack</b> is hastily put together, yet a fun and good little addition to "The Hack" family. There are minor flaws, but they are so puny that they don't make the game bad. Only major problem I have with this game are character classes. Only one of these (The Brick) is good as a heroic stereotype, rest are not at all. With better character classes this would have been super awesome! Now it is "only" super good. Revised edition with better classes would be the bomb! Before that happens (if ever), I need to hack this myself and print it out.<br />
<br />
Oh, and in the end the example play scenario is fun and inspiring, even though there could have been a wider variety of game mechanics used in it.<br />

Do I recommend it? Yes! <b>The Black Hack</b> is great fun little system easy to just play and have fun with, and <b>The Super Hack</b> is quite as good, only if you make the classes better yourself. If you like superhero games, this is a pocket version of the genre. If you don't own any superhero games, this is an inexpensive place to get one.<br />

<u>EDIT 09/25/2016:</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
I've had discussed with the author, and here are his responses to two points that rubbed me the wrong way, the PP affecting inappropriate equipment use and the character classes. Simon Purley wrote:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"In terms of rules - it's TSH version of TBH having different character classes being limited to specific types of armour. I couldn't limit the character classes as rigidly as he did in TBH but I wanted it in somewhere."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"In terms of genre - It means to stop people buying Superpowers. The first ever SHRPG Superhero 2044 had a "Superhero shop" and, as soon as they made money, people went and bought weapons and armour and flight rings etc. The game just didn't resemble the comics. Basically why doesn't Captain America take out Iron Man, steal his armour and put it on? If he did, he wouldn't know how to use it."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"BTW: The character classes are Superhero tropes. The Brick is your classic brawler (The Hulk, The Thing, Luke Cage). The Blaster is your classic ranged attacker (The Human Torch, Cyclops). The Crimefighter is your classic human who can go toe to toe with the super types (Batman, Captain America, Daredevil). The unique is your weirdos (The Vision, The Sacrlet Witch, Jessica Jones)."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"A design choice I went for in TSH was to keep the rules stripped down without loads of explanation or examples - in keeping with the philosophy of TBH. When I moved from PDF to print it created a couple of extra pages which I could have used for more explanation or example scenarios ("Superheroes vs. dinosaurs" doesn't take much space to explain.) It was a definite choice not to do so"</i> </blockquote>

<b>Barrel Rider Games</b> needed help to make their new release's covers print-on-demand ready, and I decided to take the challenge. I've done few print-on-demands myself and thought, it would be quite easy for me. Well, as easy as it can, because <b>OnebookShelf</b>'s POD preparations can be tricky! And they were, two times the file I sent was refused, because of a tiny mistake, where the front and back covers didn't meet.

<br />
In the world where weird monsters and horrors are reality lurking behind the veils of everyday life, some brave and determined men and women have dedicated their lives to seek out and destroy these things. They are marked with a sacred brand on their forehead to grand special powers against the infernal and cosmic forces of evil.<br />
<br />
Any new character from any class from the beginning of the campaign can be branded to gain a special power, which you determine rolling 1d6 from the table. Also roll for a disadvantage of the devotion. A character might later on a campaign become one going through a sacred ritual of branding. They must devote their adventuring life for the cause they have chosen.<br />
<h2>
WITCHFINDER</h2>
<div>
They are professionals that seek out those who have powers beyond the man for selling their soul to the forces of evil. They know how to deal with witches and protect themselves against their malicious spells.</div>
<h3>
Advantages</h3>
<div>
1. Immune to any charm or mind affecting powers of witches.</div>
<div>
2. Can make a special balsam against witches powers. The balsam costs 100 GP of protection per level of witch's HD. The balsam, when applied to the skin, protects against one direct spell of the witch except charm and mind affecting spells.</div>
<div>
3. Can sense a presence of a witch within 100 feet per their level.</div>
<div>
4. When making a finishing blow against a witch, they can absorb one random power of her if they will. They must success a save versus Magic or be corrupted of the witchtanic power and lose their special ability for 1d6 levels.</div>
<div>
5. Specialist in long-distance murder and take advantage on technology. +2 using gunpowder weapons. Also all maintenance work for gunpowder weapons are halved.</div>
<div>
6. Resistant to poisons, but must drink a dose of poison daily or die, if doesn't save versus poison.</div>
<h3>
Disadvantages</h3>
<div>
1. Every witch she kills reminds her of her own mother for a reason or another. She must save against paralyze or be depressed the next adventure suffering a -1 penalty to any roll.</div>
<div>
2. She is hypersensitive for witch's body. Any time witch inflicts unarmed damage, she suffer extra 1d4 damage per witch's HD.</div>
<div>
3. Her ancestor was a witch, and in her blood thin witchtanic trace. If she comes in touch with witch's blood, there is 1-in-6 chance that the witch within is invoked. Her alignment changes to chaotic and as she loses her advantage, she gains witchtanic powers.</div>
<div>
4. All potions and alchemical fluids have double effect on her. Both helpful and harmful.</div>
<div>
5. Has saved someone from witch's claws and now her responsibility is to protect him.</div>
<div>
6. Is permanently ill, thanks to witch's curse. Needs medicine once every 2d4 days. Ingredients for one dose costs 10 GP per level and needs one special incredient to produce. With a successful Intelligence roll (under), can produce the medicine herself. Even though she doesn't success, the GP used for the ingredients is lost. If she buys the medicine prepared, one dose costs 25 GP per her level.</div>
<h2>
DEMONHUNTER</h2>
<div>
Infernal, demonic, monstrous and otherworldly beings are their enemies. Their mind is strong against the temptations and body resistant of their corruption. Their blade cuts precise and deep.</div>
<h3>
Advantages</h3>
<div>
1. Against demonic creatures they deal extra 1d6 damage.</div>
<div>
2. Can roll two dices to save against demonic powers and corruption.</div>
<div>
3. Can learn from the demons they destroy, giving them +1 to attack rolls, damage rolls and saves against same types.</div>
<div>
4. Has 5% chance per their level to learn a spell cast against them. They can use it once, until learned again.</div>
<div>
5. Has one special weapon you have used to kill your first monster. With this weapon you get +2 to damage, to-hit and armor class. Without that weapon you suffer severe effects of fright and self-esteem problems causing you to be extremely insecure and undetermined also suffering -1 to all actions you take.</div>
<div>
6. Can brand others. In exchange of permanent bonus of 1 to saves versus demonic and monstrous powers they suffer 1d4 permanent damage to HP.</div>
<h3>
Disadvantages</h3>
<div>
1. The lure of demonic powers is strong against her. Every time she encounters a demon she must success in save against magic. If she fails six times in her life, her soul is lost and possessed by a demon (roll summon spell chart to see what abomination she will become).</div>
<div>
2. There is a 1-in-6 chance a day that she will mistake something ordinary (a peon, a goat, a windmill) for a demon and she will try to destroy. It is possible to stop her and talk sense to her, but it is not an easy task.</div>
<div>
3. She is like a magnet for the demons. Demons can sense her from a distance and from beyond the curtains of dimensions. Every week there is a 1-in-6 chance that a demon finds her and tries to destroy her.</div>
<div>
4. All the evil she has seen and conquered has tainted her soul, and no clerical magic works on her.</div>
<div>
5. Has had a taste of blood of her enemies and must drink demonic or monstrous blood at least once per week or die if doesn't save against poison.</div>
<div>
6. Has hunted creatures of darkness so long, that suffers from sunlight. It burns her skin and she cannot see well. -2 to all eyesight related tasks and 1 HP damage per hour when exposed to direct sunlight.</div>
<h2>
INQUISITOR</h2>
<div>
Not necessarily the forces of evil are always witches or demons. Also ordinary people are capable of horrible things and crimes against humanity. You are the one who weeds the evil from the hoi polloi. Your actions might be horrible or brutal, but it is for the good of the humanity.</div>
<h3>
Advantages</h3>
<div>
1. Knows how to torture and get information or confessions out of anyone. It takes one hour and 1d4 damage per HD of the victim to squeeze out whatever the inquisitor wants to know. Unfortunately, there is a 50% chance that the victim just says what inquisitor wants to hear, so he can get a release from the pains and horrors of torture.</div>
<div>
2. Knows how to hurt people. When your attack roll is 19 or 20, you can aim your opponent and cause him severe pain with extra 1d4 +1 per level damage.</div>
<div>
3. Gets +2 bonus to your Charisma every time you intimidate someone.</div>
<div>
4. No pain, no gain. They have caused so much suffering, they almost live out of it. As a bonus action inquisitor can wound himself to gain half of that damage to next attack as a to-hit bonus.</div>
<div>
5. Harsh training has made her tougher. She needs half the amount of rations and can resist harsh weather effects with doubled efficiency.</div>
<div>
6. Can prevent evil spells from harming her and her group if will sacrifice as many people as the spell level in 12 hours. If doesn't, all the spell effects will fire on her with double effect.</div>
<h3>
Disadvantages</h3>
<div>
1. Has seen so much blood and suffering you have inflicted, that you cannot feel empathy anymore. Every action you take is aggressive against normal people and you can only see the worst in them.</div>
<div>
2. Is scarred from the burning firebrands and self-inflicted wounds and need to hide your monstrous skin under a hood not to scare people. You look like a monster yourself.</div>
<div>
3. Is haunted by ghosts of innocent people she has killed in torture. In the beginning of game there are 1d4 souls to haunt her, and every time an innocent person is dead by her hands she must save against magic or suffer of another haunt. Naturally, there are psychological effects to this every day there is 2% chance per haunting soul that her conscience is making her question her cause and her advantage doesn't work that day.</div>
<div>
4. Is twisted and bloodlusty and will always kill if there is a chance. No enemy or victim of her should remain alive.</div>
<div>
5. Must daily repent her own sins or lose her advantage for a day. Repenting sins demands two hours of prayer and self whipping.</div>
<div>
6. There is something holy in her, god knows what twisted god thinks so. She has stigmata that bleeds constantly. Lose 1d2 HP daily from bleeding palms. Also handling weapons is harder without gloves or straps as blood soaked hands are slick.<br />

We continued the adventure of Jarod, who gained epithet "Unlucky" because he did not only lose a finger, but also half of his face in <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product/146415/Temple-Of-Greed" target="_blank"><i>Temple Of Greed</i></a>. After this Fighter's master died at the temple, Jarod had no future in the religious order. So he started traveling and ended up to this remote mining town. Drinking was what he started to do...<br />
<br />
There he met new party members, Thurnsted the Rogue, who made home of this towns tavern avoiding the law for a reason he called "a misunderstanding". The second addition to the party was Ivan Slick, the Cleric, who was sent to a pilgrimage, where he was supposed to see a holy sign that would grand him his praying ability (read: second level). That never happened and he got frustrated ending to the very same mining town drinking.<br />
<br />
They had jolly time drinking and eating and sleeping, but the day came when they ran out of money. Lucky for them, the mines had some trouble. I rolled random rumors from <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product/134136/The-Overrun-Mines?affiliate_id=795277" target="_blank"><i>The Overrun Mines</i></a> adventure and got:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>"Here have been cave-ins, something rustles the stone in the deep and I barely escaped with my life."</li>
<li>"There is a dungeon holding cell deep within the mine; I have no idea what it was used for."</li>
<li>"The mine used to be a goblin hideout, we cleared it of those foul creatures years ago."</li>
</ul>
<div>
They left Thurnsted to the tavern, because his Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma were low, so he wouldn't say anything stupid or haggle like an idiot, and went to meet minemaster. They got the mission to go check these rumors so employees would get back to work. From 100 SP (I use silver standard) reward they managed to haggle to 200 SP! Great! That's plenty of money to continue easy life!<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Inside the dungeon in the common room where ore is loaded and supplies unpacked they took some pick axes and rope with them and continued deeper. Ivan the Cleric scouted the first intersection a little and they decided to go forward where seemed to be a big cave.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The cave is where the ore is dug. In the middle of this large cave was a cave in, and deep down a wounded grey worm. They figured out, maybe this grey worm was the reason for cave-ins and rustling noises, and decided to kill it. They started pushing rocks down trying to squash it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thurnsted is a weak fellow, so I decided every rock they drop (dealing 3d6 damage) on the work, Thurnsted should roll STR starting from advantage, then normal, and the rest disadvantages. If he failed, he would refuse to push down any more rocks because he has hurt himself. The second rock down and whining starts! The worm had 9 HP left and Thurnsted tried to deal more damage with his crossbow, but didn't deal near enough to kill it. They were thinking, they must kill it to claim it their work so no one can deny their reward.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I ruled, that Thurnsted could try to roll one extra rock with a disadvantageous STR roll, but if he failed, he'd suffer 1d3 damage for hurting his muscles more. Luckily there was a melting oven with liquid hot iron in it. They poured it in the cave-in killing the worm. When it's skin bursted and boiled, it made exactly the same noises as cheese sausage on a grill. Shizzle shizzle crack pop. The worm was dead.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
The opening to the south-east had many killed miners and they figured out the worm came that way and managed to grab and kill few. As the miners flew around the cave-in the blind worm fell in following them. There must be more of these worms, maybe, but they didn't care. One was dead and that's enough! But there's still those three other rumors to take care of...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They follow the passage and take the intersection north, where there is a barred door. Thurnsted opens the door and jumps back like a coward and Ivan steps in like a hero. Nothing inside, except remains of a fire and blackened goblin bones, which naturally reanimate and attack. The combat was not tough, but they decided to spend a hour fixing their armor after it (to restore their Armor Points).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is no random encounters table in The Overrun Mines, so I decided to use Underworld Day Rules table. Once a day underground you roll it to see the effect on the party. I wanted to use it, because this party wouldn't be underground for a day (necessarily). Die tells, that Thurnsted the Rogue suffers 1 (5%) penalty to every action until he gets some fresh air. He starts to get frustrated because there are no treasures, goblin bones where empty.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Forward they venture and take a junction to the left to barracks. No treasures, just junk. Player Jaakko wanted to roll again the Underworld Day Rules table, because he thought that Thurnsted got more frustrated for the lack of treasures and it effects the whole group. Everyone's morale suffers and they lose 2 permanent HP until they get out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back and forward to an ancient goblin throne room. On the throne there is a shackled, very living dead goblin king. On the floor four goblin skeletons lay. What makes Thurnsted run to the room yelling "FINALLY TREASURE", was a partially open fake wall.<br />
<br />

<div>
And the goblin king breaks it's straps and the skeletons reanimate. Combat started quite well, but soon turned into murder - of adventurers. Ivan was first to be KO'd and Jarod decided to both hit a skeleton and chuck some healing potion in his system (second level Fighter has two attacks, I ruled he can attack with a disadvantage and use a potion on his friend). Ivan is back in game, but suffering broken bones and -2 to physical attributes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thrunsted, even though he is weak and a dick, was lucky both in hitting and avoiding to be hit. Their second level Warrior, Jarod was soon downed and not too long, and Ivan followed him to oblivion. Thurnsted managed to kill the undead goblin king with cunning (running and shooting) and force (stabbing like mad). With the band's last potion of health, he revived Jarod. They decided to flee, but Jarod insisted they take the corpse of Ivan Slick with them to find someone to resurrect him - or at least offer him proper funeral.<br />
<br />
They also decided they should tell they have dealt with the problems, get the reward and get outta there as soon as possible, before they figure out that not all problems are dealt with. Good luck with that! Next time... A new dungeon to explore and to die in!<br />

<div>
Big thanks for Jaakko for a fun game, and for helping me out writing the final combat. There was lots of things going all with one-shot-kill goblin skeletons, and falling party members.</div>
<div>
<br />
Jaakko is also a great player for 1-on-1 games, because he is Dungeon Master in his own games. It's fun to create some scenes and details together. I can throw him a ball for a moment to ask him for some details on something, and it is fun! Also the background story for this adventure (basically downtime between <i>Temple Of Greed</i> and <i>The Overrun Mines</i>) we developed together, which was great fun! I really enjoy gaming 1-on-1 with Jaakko, we are good together... arrright now it starts to sound inappropriate!<br />
<br />
Well, until next time!<br />
<br />
And hey, if you want to, you can suggest a dungeon for one level characters. Preferably one you can run in one session (two dungeons down and like 1/4 explored in both!!!) IF you don't have any greater ideas, they will travel to... <i><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/158772/No-Country-for-Weak-Men-SW-version?affiliate_id=795277" target="_blank">No Country For Weak Men</a></i> by <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/110662801199602940061" target="_blank">+Anders Hedenbjörk Lager</a>. And when the party (or anyone) hits 3rd level, there will be an extra episode of <i><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/148003/The-Flayed-King?affiliate_id=795277" target="_blank">The Flayed King</a></i> by <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/117415941542245034833" target="_blank">+Tim Shorts</a> where a new character of a new character class will be introduced to the game... well, only if he survives!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>ALPHA BLUE</b> is a sleazy science fiction roleplaying game cheering 70's weird scifi and exploitation entertainment. In Alpha Blue interalienracial sex, drug abuse and killing stuff is perfectly normal - and acceptable. Because Alpha Blue is a space bordel!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But what can you do in this space station of sin except have dirty adventures? Quite a lot, in fact!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Even though Alpha Blue is about sex, it is a real game. And a good game too. You might get best of the setting if you keep the sex, drugs and sleaze, but don't make it the focus of the game. You can play space action adventures with sleaze vibes. That's how you can make Alpha Blue a blast! Remember the sleaze, but don't make this game full of it making it a dirty joke. Make it awesome!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you are already familiar with <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/116291271643055553670" target="_blank">+Venger Satanis</a>' writing style, you know what to expect. It's like Venger is telling you all these cool ideas, maybe not organized, but clear. His enthusiasm comes across the text. It is friendly, but guiding. There are no dull moments reading <b>Kort'thalis Publishing</b>'s products.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I mentioned that it might be not organized that well. It's because there is so much material in the product. Mostly fluff and random tables. And oh boy there are many random tables making this book quite useful even outside of Alpha Blue station! You get all kinds of fun things for character creation like how he dresses and what his signature weapon is. And naturally if you're an alien, what kind of an alien you are from appearance to customs. Other tables are really useful for running adventures.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Alpha Blue is mainly a setting, and easily compatible with any system you want to run it with. But there are light rules included, which are quite fun. Characters have no stats and all difficulties of rolls are determined by who the character is (not what his numeric stats are) and what the overall situation is like. More important is what kind of sex your character likes than how hard he can hit an opponent!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Extras are two character sheets, other darker version and a map of a single floor of Alpha Blue station spread on four pages. It would have been cool if it was pre-numbered so you could fill it easier yourself, as there are locations in the book, but they are not marked on the map. Alpha Blue is supposed to have several floors, but one pre-made floor would have been fun so you could get the gaming on straight ahead. Now you have to map the place before playing the game. Small wrinkle, nothing huge!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Illustration... ehm, I don't like it. Overall it's not quite good. Half of the images are decent and give an idea what Alpha Blue is like, but some pictures are lame; example a person who looks like Doctor Who with two women. Needless to say, there is lots of nudity, partial and full. One other complaint is that men and women are not sexualized equally - there are more naked women than men. Kort'thalis' overall sexual imaginary is quite masculine. It would be cooler if there were more stronger women in illustration and fiction. I am a heterosexual guy who does enjoy strong women too, not always those slaves in golden bikini...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Also there could have been more adventure examples and seeds on what happens at Alpha Blue space station bordel. Now there are only few, and most of those happen outside of the station. Oh why...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall Alpha Blue is a great rpg product, if you are not too sensitive for sleazy adult themes. You get lots of random tables to use, a detailed location and light rules. If tentacle sex and drugs you are okay with, you should check Alpha Blue out! If you want to know how people have ran Alpha Blue, here is a Google search done for you: <a href="https://www.google.fi/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=alpha%20blue%20session%20report" target="_blank">ZAP</a>!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>GIRLS GONE ROGUE</b> is an expansion for Alpha Blue. You don't necessarily need it, but it sure makes the game 1000% better! The pdf is 80 pages of everything! Character creation and options are expanded. There are more little rules like dueling and ship to ship combat. There are more random tables, all kinds of them for so many different situations. You also get quite a few adventures. And tables to create planets. And now the illustration is from the same to better to great!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Girls Gone Rogue makes Alpha Blue better in so many ways expanding it to a full throttle to run campaigns. There is so much material combined in these books, that you will never run out of adventuring ideas and random tables.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mark my word, even without sex Alpha Blue (and Girls Gone Rogue) is/are a great game full of fun and useful material. If you don't like sleazy themes, just drop them and enjoy space adventures! Illustration... well, you just have to deal with it :)</div>

Without him <b>D-oom</b> wouldn't have been presented at Ropecon. I was working for <b>Myrskyn Sankarit</b>, but used lots of my free time hanging around at <b>LotFP</b> booth. It was fun and James was great! I did not only sell my publications, but also answered some questions of <b>LotFP</b> products (stating that I don't work for <b>LotFP</b> of course), because I am a fan. People were for example interested which of the products are suitable for beginners (<a href="http://www.lotfp.com/store/ToweroftheStargazer" target="_blank"><i>Tower Of The Stargazer</i></a> and <a href="http://www.lotfp.com/store/DeathFrostDoom" target="_blank"><i>Death Frost Doomin</i></a> are the answers).

That's the end of the pictures. Both battery and photographer started to wear down. Everywhere I go I spend lots of time taking pics so I decided that I will enjoy Sunday without constantly looking around and finding something interesting to take pictures of. It was a right decision for the rest of the Con.<br />
<br />
I think Ropecon was great. This was first time it was held in a fair building. As a first timer myself, I cannot compare it to the previous locations, but I think it was good. There was space, lots of space. Roleplaying games could have been in more open location though, now it felt like there was lots of gaming, but no roleplaying.<br />
<br />
At the convention I didn't play anything! I just didn't have time! I am so glad my friends took me to their place, so I had a change to play something. It can feel a bit heavy to visit a con and just do everything else than the one thing you love the most.<br />
