Another revived bundle - Fellowship
Apr. 26th, 2023 06:24 pmAnother repeat offer, this time an "epic adventure" game based on the Apocalypse Engine system
( Fellowship )
Last time around I said "I have to be honest here - I've been "off" fantasy RPGs for a long time, and am not a huge fan of the Apocalypse Engine rules set. And the subject matter doesn't really appeal much, in my experience the most epic thing about most epic quests is how badly they get screwed up once the players are in the mix. Having looked at some of this material, I don't feel that it is especially well presented - the overwhelming impression I got from some of it was clutter, too much crammed into too small a space. Admittedly one of my recent reviews complained about another bundle where it seemed that there was not enough content per page, but there needs to be a balance, and I'm not sure it's been achieved here. This isn't really something I want. But if you've been thinking of running a huge epic quest campaign it's possible that this is exactly what you need, so don't let me stop you! "
I really don't see any reason to change any of that.
