Message: <blockquote data-quote="DM_Jeff" data-source="post: 3270901" data-attributes="member: 3687">Bleeding Edge & DCC’sAnyone else got any of Green Ronin’s Bleeding Edge adventures? I thought I’d share the opening of my mail today, where from an online vendor I got DCC #36 & 37, and Bleeding Edge #2, Beyond the Towers. I find this a little funny, because the Bleeding Edge series is actually everything DCC is not and vice versa, going for a different fan base. Instead of catering to old-school mentality the BE adventures go for hard-hitting themes they feel today’s gamer needs, including plenty of adventure outside the dungeon, and carefully–crafted storylines with NPCs who aren’t there just to be killed! I seem to enjoy both types, apparently.I read Mansion of Shadows, and really liked it. It does indeed deliver many hard-hitting themes such as sexual deviancy, seriously tragic storylines and truly wicked, evil NPCs. It’s not for the faint of heart, and it’s no way Disney-like or jolly. It’s dark and darned gritty. The stats were all done in the new DMGII style too, which I really liked and appreciated. They also intend to mine the OGC of many other sources to ensure the adventures aren’t stuck just using same-old SRD creatures and items. Anyway, this is good because Green Ronin hadn’t been getting my money of late ‘cause I’m no fan of streamlined d20 system variants or Masterfully Mindful Mutants. But these are really nice.Has anyone else had thoughts on the modules, Mansion of Shadows or Beyond the Towers?-DM Jeff</blockquote>
