More About the Author

I'll tell you now, there's some truth to Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining, so it's probably a good thing that I'm really not a tetchy, alcoholic git. I haven't slept with any ghosts yet either, but hey, never say never. I'm English - with a selection of crunchy European bits - but I've been wandering the world for a few years, for a variety of reasons. At the moment, I'm back living in London.

I suspect I'd feel blind if my intuition ever turned off, and I pride myself on remaining open-minded and kind despite everything. I do have a dark streak - I think it's a fairly common side effect of being reasonably intelligent and well informed - but it's well under control, and there isn't a malicious bone in my body. Which is nice.

When I'm not writing, I like to keep myself amused by exploring, reading, swimming, spending time with friends, watching movies and gigs, gazing at the stars/stormy seas/fires/woodlands/ancient places/&c, and occasionally hacking up the odd pixellated monster or some such. I know Net Fu.

I tend to have all sorts of random questions on my mind. Today, these include:
- Why doesn't Dubai build an underground city complex, given the summer heat out there, and the fact they're building just about everything else? Or if not an Underside, then how about a new Wonder of the World designed to last five thousand years -- a Colossus, say, or a mighty Labyrinth?
- If reincarnation were true, would we need to live our lives in sequential order, or could souls hop around in time?
- How did Staff Sergeant Max Fightmaster get such an insanely butch name, and can he live up to it?
- What sort of society would live in a wondrous crystal city powered by the sacrifice of unwilling victims?

In general, I'm interested in just about everything, with the possible exceptions of celebrities and car engines. I've been lucky enough to have some rather strange experiences over the years, which I cherish. Perhaps it's something to do with being a lapsed Anthropologist.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting, February 20, 2004

By 

Lombardi Boris (Luxembourg , EUROPE) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hunter Book: Redeemer (Hunter Roleplaying Game) (Paperback)

Maybe its not the best creed book for hunter on the market , but thats because it describes a weak class of hunters. The book shows the hidden thoughts and powers of Redeemers wich makes it an interesting Character for advanced role playing players. Its a personality class , it arent the dices and the power that count.

I only can recommend this book to all players and game masters looking for the little intellectual extra in rpging

5.0 out of 5 stars Redeemers - Annoying but Usefull, June 15, 2004

This review is from: Hunter Book: Redeemer (Hunter Roleplaying Game) (Paperback)

I play an Avenger, so you might expect me to hate Redeemers as much as Vampires. Take into consideration though, if we were didn't have there guys, the down time from fighting the evil in the World of Darkness wouldn't be as much fun. With a well informed and well played Redeemer you can have a lot of fun when you get one verbally sparring with an Avenger and your game time is much more fun. This book helps to flesh out a better Redeemer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unpleasant at best, October 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Hunter Book: Redeemer (Hunter Roleplaying Game) (Paperback)

This is my least favorite among the creed books. If you already have the Hunter corebook, then you already know everything that this book has to tell you about the Redeemers, except that some of them are rather unkind in their ministrations. The alternate, more aggressive Edges presented are far less useful for a Redeemer than the ones already in the core book.
The book offers a "get-tough" attitude towards Redeeming monsters (as well as new, crueler Edges suited for it), but falls flat in the attempt. It tries to justify itself too much to the "action-adventure" gamers out there, instead of sticking to its guns and making us WANT to play one of this Creed as is, as the Innocent Creed book does.
There is a useful section in the back of the book about dealing with the madness that is inherent to high-powered imbued, and a VERY useful section on creating artifacts capable of feeding supernaturals without requiring them to take it from someone else. This is what Redeemer should have been all the way through.

Three or four pages of quality don't make up for the rest of the dreck, especially not when there isn't anything an imaginative group couldn't of constructed on their own. If you can find this for real cheap, it might be worth it. Maybe.
