If nothing else, based on the art excerpts from this review, I'm going to check it out simply for the visual aesthetic.

(I assume it isn't actually in Swedish, right?)

RPG Review: Tales from the Loop - Shut Up & Sit Down

Cynthia: Omg! I think we might have an RPG blockbuster here, Quinns. Everyone's talking about Tales from the Loop, the game of roleplaying young kids in a 1980s that never was. It’s got everything you need to play out your own version of Gremlins, E.T., Stranger Things, or any movie…

Woohooo. I just bought this book 2 weeks ago. I love this dice pool system too. So easy. It is the same as Mutant:YearZero and Coriolis (which I have adapted to use with Star Wars if anyone is interested.

Alien is the same basic system, but each game has subtle differences.

I've looked through many of them. I'm bought in on Alien - the cinematic adventure preview was brilliant to play. Just enough details for me to use, not too many. Waiting for the print and final PDF.

Coriolis looks VERY interesting. The free quickstart gives a very Chronicles of Riddick look...

I've read a bit of MYZ, enough to know that the dice types differ from game to game... as do the damage rules. Alien has separate Hit Points, TFL has attribute loss, as does MYZ, and Forbidden Lands.

(I've been reading all the QS modules. I'm annoyed I missed the Coriolis bundle on Bundle of Holding.) And, as of now, it's back to normal price.

I’ve played TalesFrom the Loop and it is a great game! No reason at all not to pick up a copy for free and give it a try!

 

[Morrus]

It's still free! I guess they extended it!

Thanks, Russ! I just snagged it myself. I’ve been curious about it for a while now.

Late on the uptake, but interesting enough, this is still free, a couple of days after the "one day".
So others may still want to take a look because you might not just have missed out.
