[QUOTE="Bloodstone Press, post: 2798482, member: 12468"] I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough about what to expect from this title. I've added a free demo, so other people can get a look at it before they buy. Here: [url]http://www.bloodstone-press.com/1948/Serum-preview.pdf[/url] It's purpose is to portray the 1948 world, not offer a lot of "new" game rules. As such it is largely a recasting of existing OGC. Much of it from the SRD. Some of it is from other OGC sources such as the Hero's Handbook. There are about 45 different game mechanics in it, some based on spells, others based on feats. Most are repeated at least once under each section. For example, the Soviets and the Japanese both have a serum that offers a bonus to Hide skills. Mechanically, they are the same thing, but role-playing-wise they are different. I've also spotted a few typos in it and fixed some of the bonus types, to bring them more in line with my comments above. The revision should be up on RPGnow tomorrow. Is there anything else we can do for you? Do you own any other 1948 titles? I'd be happy to send you a comp. copy of the Templar Knights, the Vimana, or some other 1948 title, if you like. [/QUOTE]
