Another Repeat Bundle - Liminal
Sep. 4th, 2024 08:31 pmThis is a re-release of a 2021 bundle for Liminal, an occult and magical RPG with a modern British setting from Modiphius Entertainment, adding 14 new adventures.

In 2021 I said "At a first glance this is very nicely presented, like other games from this company, with lots of art and excellent layout. If you actually want to print it out that's going to be a problem, it's going to eat printer ink/toner, but it looks pretty good on screen. Like many modern games the idea is to start out with a character concept then build the character around it. e.g. "Exile from faerie who wants to find a way to return home safely." Statistics are based mainly on skills, which is a reasonably good way to avoid ridiculously strong or weak characters.
I haven't had time to get into this in depth, but it looks like it's going to be fun to play and gives you quite a lot for your money. Well worth a look if you like the urban fantasy genre."
Since then I've taken a closer look and discussed it with others; the general opinion seems to be that it's an OK-ish sort of system with some very good ideas and adventures. In other words, people mostly seem to be adapting the setting's concepts and adventures to other systems. This may be an over-simplification, but it's the impression I'm getting. Unfortunately I still haven't got round to running it myself.
