Reviews here and here

 

 

I know about those games (and have heard lots of good things), but I've never played either of them.  Another newcomer to consider is Pinnacle's Solomon Kane license for their very pulpy Savage Worlds game, appropriately titled "The Savage World of Solomon Kane"; the game will be unveiled this weekend at GenCon Indy...  The new RQ games look pretty cool, but are a bit too costly for my taste-- I still have a bunch of old RQ2 and Stormbringer stuff so I'm probably not going to buy in. 

 

I would probably be up for writing some game reviews; it depends on how busy I am with school and work though.  We'll see what happens...

As the title indicates, it is a game designed to allow the players to explore the world of Howard's Solomon Kane.

While most would not think of the setting as a S&S setting, don't be fooled. This is still a world with dark magics, ancient ruins, un-natural creatures, and evil individuals who make pacts with dark forces.

 

Although using the Savage Worlds rule system, this is a complete book. All the rules and alterations to the base SW system are here. Including a revised magic system that captures the feel of dark brooding power from beyond the Outer Dark.

You say God's spark has kindled my eye,
As the sun-rise reddens the east;
Into your beards I roar the lie-
'Tis the gleam of the stalking beast.
