Reviews

Times That Fry Men's Souls

"The content of this book is absolutely fantastic. The hex encounters are great. Most are directly out of a history book, filled with personal interest and curious NPCs of a great number of backgrounds and purposes. The hexes are usually filled with several points of interest; often they will have one or more specific keyed encounters and one or more location events or elements...This is common throughout the book, providing both excellent descriptive qualities and excellent interactivity to each hex. Each hex contains its own monster stats, which is terrific and prevents page-turning."

- Dungeons & Possums

"...you are getting a large amount of material coming in at 144 pages. This is an easy-to-use supplement that works well with Old-School Essentials, Swords & Wizardry, AD&D, and especially LotFP due to it already having firearms. If you want to read a great supplement that is different from your standard Hexcrawl, give this one a chance. I think you will be quite happy with it."

- THACO Blog

"Highlights: evocative historical setting with an adjustable weirdness level, good layout and art, dense hexcrawl (there are no "empty" spaces!), plenty of hooks and stories for the players to interact with. It can be played both as a straightforward historical game, or a weird investigative horror that truly tries & fries your soul!"

Song of the Sixgun

"Excellent game that works on a d100. It has very simple rules that are quick to read and reminds me of Boot Hill RPG but better. It doesn't get bogged down with having too many rules...it feels like you're in a spaghetti western!"

Gentlemen Vs. Demons

" It’s more...Sherlock Holmes, Carnacki the Ghost Finder, or even The Shadow or The Spider. Intended for the general time period of 1890 to 1930 or so, your heroes...might be a wealthy old doctor, or a fresh-faced young woman with more bravery than sense. Making characters is fairly simple. Six stats with percentile ratings. You pick a skill. So, if you want to play an occultist hero, you just pick Arcane Skill and you’re good to go. It would almost certainly be a good game for some supernatural-themed games to be run in the Halloween season. It’s also super inexpensive on Lulu, in spite of being well produced. So, definitely buy a copy."
