Just dropping by again to share one of my favorite songs ever. Warren Zevon at his sarcastic, self-deprecating, LA-hating best. Great lyrics, of course, but I also love the strings and the harmonies at the end (among those singing were Jackson Browne, JD Souther, Kenny Edwards, Waddy Wachtel, and the Beach Boys' Carl Wilson).

Too many games, and too many decisions.

• the weapon skill list reduction,
• The change to first aid healing rates (HR instead of d3)
• the new movement rules
• the new passions in character gen
• charging can now benefit swords, axes, and maces, not just spears/lances
Not Liking:
• the dropped skills from the general skills list
• the art style
• the char gen chapter's (lack of) clarity
• the tourney lance rules
• That it's missnamed as Core Rules when it's really just Player's Rulebook
• Two different disarming rules with different numbers of rolls.
Not decided yet:
• the changes to damage (Critical Ties, especially)
• changes to figuring Healing Rate
• changes to the combat actions list.

You set aside 3 face poker cards as the mystery. The number cards are “clues” that allow you reveal the other face cards so you can solve the mystery. The d6 are used to roll skill tests on three core abilities (matched to physical, logical and resourcefulness aspects) and to generate events/threats/consequences on sets of tables (via d66) as you investigate locations. You can journal your activities and there is a good mix of structured sequences and oracle driven story crafting. The book has a core set of tables and four genres of table sets: noir, fantasy, horror and sci fi. I’m trying horror next.

I’ve played a sci fi mystery and, when I posted a picture, I was asked on FB what this book was about. My reply is below - my brief overview of this great book - that I thought I’d add here.You set aside 3 face poker cards as the mystery.
