Another RPG Bundle - Flying Circus
Sep. 25th, 2023 07:21 pmThis is a bundle of material for Flying Circus, an RPG which combines aviation (mostly inspired by WW1) and fantasy in a world inspired by multiple sources including Porco Rosso and Laputa, but also horror including Doyle's Horror of the Heights.
( Flying Circus )
This is an interesting idea but I think it's aimed at a niche market - people who like the sources of inspiration and want to spend a lot of their time simulating dogfighting and other airborne activities. I have to admit that I'm probably not the sort of player they have in mind - While I've written an RPG with a setting where most activities centre on airships, and enjoy an occasional game of Red Baron and other fighter variants, I really can't see building a role playing campaign around these rules, it looks like there isn't a lot to do if you don't want to take off and blast monsters with your trusty Lewis gun. But on this, as with many other things, tastes differ.
One thing to bear in mind is that the core material was in a 2020 bundle - if you already own that you may need to decide if you want all of the extras.
