Arrows Of Indra
by Tod C. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/27/2023 19:09:05

Nicely written and fun. Author was also incredibly responsive. The original preview stopped before getting to the interesting parts of the book, so he resubmitted the preview to allow more useful information to be shown!

Sertorius: Classic Fantasy Packet
by Johnny W. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 05/18/2022 10:06:13

Two extra player "classes" for free that capture the essence of the classic thief and warrior archetype from other RPG's. The base game is completely lit as well.

Servants of Gaius
by Asen G. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 03/21/2020 22:34:42

The Introduction recounts some of the inspirations for this game, the chief being Robert Graves's I, Claudius and Claudius the God novels. Those happen to be the exact novels that got me interested in Roman history. And you can easily influence world history from there!

Strange Tales of Songling
by A customer [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 01/26/2020 00:01:02

For full disclosure, I was a reader for this game. Strange Tales of Songling has a streamlined version of the rules from the wuxia game Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate. As such you can pick one of the four paths ( classes) Demon Hunter, Ritual Master, Wandering Sword, or Scholar, pick a few skills and abilities and begin playing in no time at all.

The game focuses on the supernatural and has several suggested play styles from the default monster of the week to sandbox campaigns. So if you like " Fu" and the supernatural as seen in films like Chinese Ghost Story this might be the game for you.

Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate
by Carlos V. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 03/09/2019 16:37:17

Never felt so much necessity to comment and review a book, the amount of work and content is ridicolous. I've never seen such a good Chinese-based RPG, the content is clearly written by people who actually know a lot about Chinese culture, possibly they even lived there. Comparing with other asian-themed products, this one particularly have light of its own, and has a deep an interesting setting, which saves a lot of work for people that don't know much about Asian culture.

For any Fan of Wuxia, Xianxia, Martial Arts, DBZ, Crouching tiger hidden dragon; this is a phenomal addition, deserves as many donations as possible. Recommend it 100%.

Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate
by Vincent S. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/04/2018 23:47:25

While I didn't really click with the rules and mechanics, they seem quite functional and complete. More than anything I appreciated Bedrock Games inclusion of a good setting and better NPCs and martial arts sects. They have a great grasp of what makes wuxia interesting to me, and are one to watch.

Crime Network
by Jacob R. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 12/22/2017 13:43:24

This game is a detailed and realistic look at the mafia. Detailed character creation that is shorter than Pathfinder but maybe a little longer than traditional OSR systems. Good production values. Clear writing. Pick it up.

Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate
by Brian I. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/02/2017 14:00:24

Comprehensive and spot-on for the genre. When Bedrock Games describes this as "completely self-contained", they aren't kidding. Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate is an easy to read, well written, straight forward system (d10 based) and straight forward presentation. Nealry 500 pages long, WHoOG includes a fictional setting (riffing off the Song Dynasty), martial arts techniques, sects, adversaries (standard, wuxia martial artists, monsters and demons), and a sample adventure, along with plenty of genre and GM guidance. GMs would find themselves very well supported for a one-shot, campaign or all points between.

A really awesome product. Authors show a great knowledge of the genre and know how to dive you into a wuxia world. Good job guys!

Sects of the Martial World: Temple of the Jade Mercies
by Asen G. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 11/12/2016 06:52:26

Great wuxia supplement! The Sect can easily be used for PCs and villains alike, or even transplanted to other settings, in which case the meaning of the Chinese names can be used for sobriquets of criminals. I mean, that's a supplement with criminal religious organisation, there's almost nothing setting-specific about it!

Very interesting full game with inexpensive suppliments coming out rapidly. Definitely worth picking up if you're interested at all in a Wuxia genre type game.

Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate
by Cameron H. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/31/2016 15:56:04

I was looking for something that really felt like mythic and legendary China, but done as more of a fantasy setting than a historical one. Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate scratched that itch, but also gave me even more than I asked for.

I was primarily looking for setting material, but the system looks like fun, and certainly has all the wuxia wire-fu martial arts hijinx I was hoping to include in the stories I wanted to play out with my group. Now I'm not sure if I should continue with the system I had in mind or just use the one included in the game.

Sertorius
by Thomas B. [Featured Reviewer] Date Added: 01/02/2015 07:02:47

WHAT WORKS: Bedrock Games had a very distinct feel they were aiming for with this game and made sure to achieve it. It would be easy to dismiss it as "another fantasy heartbreaker", but Sertorius definitely has its own distinctive vibe, with some great touches like the Grims and how magic items are handled. Of course, I love any game that gives me oodles of random tables as well. There's even a subgame for managing your followers, which could lead to developments like a deranged cult acting in your name, How many fantasy RPGs lead to you having to sort out two warring factions operating in your name?

WHAT DOESN'T WORK: It perhaps borders on too many subsystems and minigames, from corruption to politics to managing your followers...and if game balance is an issue for your group, then someone is definitely going to be annoyed when they find out their Mundane Warrior is probably getting smoked by any kind of Sertori. While I understand the decision, I always prefer more art for a bestiary, though this one did still cover a lot of ground,

CONCLUSION: As dice pool systems go, The Network System generally keeps it manageable and simple, which is always appreciated. A lot of thought went into the design of this book to allow Sertorius to stand apart from other fantasy games, and Bedrock Games is continuing to push the game pretty hard on their blog. You may not be in the market for another fantasy game, but you could certainly do worse than pick up one that has its own distinctive voice of divinely touched demigods shaping the world, rather than just another dungeon raiding D&D clone. You can also check out the free adventure, Beneath the Banshee Tree, to get a better feel for the setting.
