(On a different note, I am starting to see why people like Dominion and I don't - it's like a non-collectible "M:tG light".
#Arktau eos ai ma ra full
I prefer my games with a lot more repeatability, though, so were I to do an official review, it would say 3,5 stars (rounded up, though, if the system used only full stars). I like this game, especially the potential for it being a simple-to-understand Red Box even a kid can pick up and comprehend. It will be my son's first rpg (he was absolutely eager to try it out, once he'd read it), and with the assistance of a good friend, I will play it with him within a week or two. Yet it does do its own thing really well, and it seems a very good game to start role-playing with, as long as one can get past the strange idea of playing a penguin version of Westerns' Clint Eastwood characters rather than the Western versions. On a plain of ice, it is very hard for a GM to draw things from his proverbial hat.Ĭompared to, say, Itras By or Stalker, it is a very simple game, almost a Forge-like one trick pony. Add to this the malevolent ice and the anti-penguins serving it, and you have a rather unique setting: An area where the game has to be extremely character- and action-oriented. Juhana, known for his fascination with the Antarctic region, has poured a lot of good ideas into the design and setting: a rather unpleasant, intolerant and often racist world of creatures who are so family-oriented that they can't deal with the necessities of inevitable crises. It's frankly not an awesome game, but it is rather nifty, the rules work well, and Jonna Lylykangas' art makes it look great. Heroic penguins (and anti-heroic anti-penguins), who do what is necessary and then get neglected by their own society. The other one was his own work, Ikuisuuden Laakso, which is about penguins. One was the Finnish translation of Itras By, the awesome surrealist-noir game from Norway. Definitely have to pick up some of their stuff. At Ropecon, Juhana gave me two new tabletop rpgs, in the production of which he has been involved. I listened to a few samples of Arktau Eos, from Mirriorion, which is sort of dark ambient music done without electronic instruments, and from Ai Ma Ra, which is more of the typcial dark ambient.
