OLD WEEN to you all! We’re covering the very weird Palladium title Nightbane this ween’s eve, so ready yourself for one piece of beautiful Brom art and 200 pages of … well, sloppy editing and fun ideas, basically.
It occurs to me that a game like this cannot be judged on the grounds of it being a proper RPG. That’s like trying to assess how good a sport Kiss-Chase is. That’s not the point; its a system of rules to facilitate an activity which the audience wants to take part in. A particular group of pretentious goths from the 80’s and 90’s who want to play pretend they are cool, sexy, vampire monsters. But would be too embarrassed to just play without a bunch of grown-up rules to contain it.
Though I guess you could argue in a sense I just described every rpg XD
Holy crap this is my favorite episode.
