Three New Role Playing Books
2 days ago
With my birthday coming up, I decided to purchase some new role playing books that I've had on my wish list for a while. Lucky for me, they were cheap enough that I could afford 3 of them at once.
Shadow of the Demon Lord: First brought to my attention when D&D tried to pull that OGL scandal bullshit, this grim dark setting takes place in the final days of a dying world. As the titular Demon Lord's forces grow in power and spread his influence, the players must decide how they wish to respond to the encroaching apocalypse. With a level cap of 10, and the presumption that you advance 1 level at the end of each session, most campaigns are meant to be relatively short before reaching the climactic ending. However, there are a shit ton of playable classes to build your character around. Also, it's got some absurdly memorable spells, like the Hateful Defecation; which causes your victim to literally shit out their organs.
Lone Wolf Fists: Heavily inspired by action packed anime from the 60' - 80's periods, this game takes place in a post apocalyptic earth where you take on the role of super powered martial artists. There are seven major clans of martial brotherhoods to choose from, with some of them being blatantly inspired by other fictional characters. Like the Five Star Spirits (inspired by Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star), or the Silver Phoenix (inspired by the Espers from Akira). Civilization has collapsed, monsters and gods roam the earth for the first time in ages, and people are desperately trying to survive the nuclear wasteland. Will you become a hero and savior of the people, or will you succumb to villainy and subjugate those too weak to oppose you?
Kinks and Cantrips: A supplement book that seeks to introduce the world of kink into 5th edition of D&D. The book includes its own campaign setting (Bundheim), as well as several new races, subclasses, and hundreds of custom spells / items, and even its own bestiary. Don't mistake this book to be just a bunch of trashy smut, however. They consulted experienced kink enjoyers and included text boxes on various pages which explains how the kinks work, and why someone might be interested in them. All in all, a rather enjoyable supplement, assuming you can find anybody shameless enough to run it.
