3.0 out of 5 stars Bloody Adventures in the Warhammer World, May 15, 2002

By

This review is from: Zavant (Warhammer) (Mass Market Paperback)

The Zavant Konniger cases are more like fighting adventures than detective stories. The investigation of the sage-detective and his halfling sidekick often leads to fierce hand-to-hand combat rather than mystery-solving routines. Apparently, the tales are heavily influenced by popular cinema culture. There are 4 cases covered in the book. 1. Buried secrets (chasing after artefacts from mummy tomb). 2. Red Moon over Altdorf (solving murder mystery by visiting somebody in the asylum). 3. Politics of Shadow (hunting vampire). 4. Horror at Alt Krantzstein (poisoning in corrupt monastery). All are well-known themes in the movie industry. Notwithstanding the problem of originality, the last tale offers an interesting mix of Warhammer battle, siege, and an explanation of the spread of Chaos (fans of the Mordheim game will find some familiar ideas here). On the whole, I think Execution Hour by the same author is a better treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Warhammer world described at its darkest!, June 2, 2003

This is definately a must have for any warhammer universe fan. The world described at its most dark and sinister, a great source book for anyone trying to be a GM for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Sessions. I haven't finished it yet and I'm already waiting (hoping) for the next part of the 'Zavant Saga'. Please give me more of this wonderful stuff - I crave it!
