5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource for any rpg, amusing and entertaining,
By Marjorie Dalton (New Orleans, Louisiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Excellent Prismatic Spray Vol. 1 Number 3 (Paperback)
Like the last issue, this the third issue of the Excellent Primsatic Spray is a very appealing read, and a useful source work for nearly any rpg of even remotely similar genre. Even more so than issue 2, the third issue is written throughout in a remarkable imitation of the original witty, sardonic style of Jack Vance, the author whose work the Dying Earth Rpg is based. At worst, this is still nice for the background feel, at best, it's gut wrenchingly hilarious. But as with the other issues of XPS, it's the short adventure "seeds" and "expedients" which make this thing the treasure that it is. These hooks are suitible short adventures or encounters for most any campaign, and since they rarely emphasise a lot of hack and slash, can easily be adapted to say D20 rules or GURPS. These little mini adventures are almost universally well written, rich in detail and background ambiance, and some of them are true gems. If you want to bring some wit and culture to your game, wake your players up with some immensely clever plot twists and adventure hooks, pick up this magazine. Even if you don't play an rpg at the moment, pick it up anyway and enjoy the read, it's one of the best you will find related to any game anywhere. |
