The End d20

[Alaska Roberts]

Hi,
Just picked this up at Shorecon over last weekend, and I have to say I am really impressed with this game. I was really skeptical about this setting at first, but after reading the story in chapter one I was completly hooked.


Does anyone out there know of any The End sites?

 

[Alaska Roberts]

Well, judging from the response I've received I'm guessing that either no one out there is playing... has heard of it... or just doesn't enjoy it like I do.

If anyone does hear of any good The End sites, stories, plots or anything else, drop me an email at AlaskaRoberts@aol.com

Thanks

Alaska

if you do post a review in the review section, also put a post (linking the review) in the main RPG Discussion forum to let people know it's there.

reading the synopsis on the Tyranny site, i'm not sure The End is something i'd be into. but that doesn't mean other people on the site wouldn't be, and they may not have heard of it either

I have it..... I bought it when it first came out...it is a very very good game... and well written (the ficition is simple amazing)...haven't really gotten a chance to play it though..and haven't really seen any sites for it (other than the official one)...

I'm with dd... Great looking game, great fiction, but havn't had a chance to play it (Nor, honestly, do I forsee getting to play it any time soon, given my players).

I bought the game when it finally came out in Perth, Australia. I was the only person who ordered the game after seeing an announcement about it on the web somewhere. My FLGS laughed at me when I tried describing it. But you get that. I've managed to find a group of people who are keen to play in it (basically my normal group minus a couple), however fitting it into my gaming schedule with games of Fantasy Flights "Nocturnum d20" Call of Cthulhu coming up, a home game of FR and a fortnightly game of 3e set in my own world really making it hard to fit things in.. 7 days a week just isn't enough when you're working full-time.

anyway, just replying and letting you know that I concur, The End, while at first looks a little too "weird" or "religious" is perhaps the best post-apocolyptic setting I've read in a long time, albeit one that conforms to a lot of the stereotypes of Post-Apocolyptic settings. The fiction, as already pointed out, in the form of a journal at the beginning of the book, is delightfully evocative of the setting. The mechanics look interesting and the take on d20 is a part of the charm.

Grab it and have a look, it's well written, the combat system looks nice and the book itself? well.. I've never had so much fun carrying a book that looks like a faux-leather bible...


cheers
