    System Mastery 217 – Conspiracy X Jan 12, 2022
    Show notes https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2022/01/system-mastery-217-conspiracy-x.mp3

    What if everything you thought you knew was actually all evidence of a secret conspiracy? Deja Vu? Real psychic powers. Men in Black? Lizard people in black. That’s the premise of Conpiracy X, a late 90s secret agents vs. everything game with a surprisingly complex combat engine. Oh man. Surprisingly complex.

    System Mastery 216 – Psychosis: Ship of Fools Dec 29, 2021
    Show notes https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2021/12/system-mastery-216-psychosis-ship-of-fools-1.mp3

    Post-Show PS: Turns out there is at least one more of these, Jef’s on-air googling failed to turn up Psychosis: Solitary Confinement. Cool? Cool.

    Well, when the name of the mental disorder is right there in the title you know you’re in for something at least a little iffy. Luckily this is so far removed from reality regarding how far everyone is removed from reality that it mostly comes out okay in the wash. It’s a game where you never quite know what’s going on, and the entire story is a spoiler alert. From the decade that brought you Steal My Sunshine, it’s Psychosis: Ship of Fools.

    System Mastery 215 – Blue Rose Dec 15, 2021
    Show notes https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2021/12/system-mastery-215-blue-rose-2.mp3

    Let’s dispense with the obvious question first. This is the OGL version. Now before that gets too depressing, note that this is one of the most modified OGL games we’ve come across, going so far as to do that one thing everyone always says you should do with D&D stats (not get rid of them, the other thing). It’s got some good ideas! But do we like it? Well, let’s find out. You know, again.

    Announcement Mastery!

    System Mastery 214 – Mystic Forces Nov 30, 2021
    Show notes https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2021/11/system-mastery-214-mystic-forces.mp3

    Heck yeah, one of those weird games so little known I couldn’t GIS the cover and had to take a picture of our copy! Mystic Forces is a 2000 RPG about light vs. darkness featuring some very unique ideas (though Jon has some ideas as to where a lot of them are coming from), and a world that doesn’t have elves, dwarves, or even humans. Are they contained in a probably somewhat too complicated engine? Well yeah, obviously.

    Just because Ween is over doesn’t mean we can’t stay spooky! Or at least one would hope. This is more evil by way of edge than anything else. Jef sought out a list of historically terrible supplements for us to look at in the future, and this one just kept floating to the top. Evil races, prestige classes, and so, so many terrible spells. Dare you enter this edgelord realm?

    Okay so maybe it’s November, and maybe we forgot when October started this year, but that won’t stop us from delivering our yearly load of horror ween stuff! Here’s Outbreak Undead. It’s 460 pages long and is a fairly generic zombie horror survival type thing.

    Behold our triumph, the ZombieWeen! It’s alive! Well, sort of alive. This ‘Ween around we’ll be focusing on zombie RPGs, investigating games about surviving short infestations and full-blown apocalypses. This time, it’s All Flesh Must Be Eaten, which means it’s also our first time talking about the Unisystem Engine in eight years. Should all flesh must be eaten? Should all zombies be in your head? In your head? Zombie (Ween).

    Eventide!
    Available today on DrivethruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/359061/Eventide

    How and why the world as we know it came to be changed forever has long been forgotten.

    It’s been hundreds – maybe even thousands – of years since anyone even spoke of the Cataclysm or the time that came before, and the memories of that world that once was, faded into dust.

    To the people inhabiting the world of Eventide, this isn’t a post-cataclysmic world, it’s just the world that is. And the world that always was, as far back as anyone living in it can remember.

    – From Frenzy Kitty Games, the studio that brought you KARMA, Something Wicked, and Children of the Fall comes EVENTIDE, a game of apocalyptic survival horror in the wasteland.

    This lavishly illustrated book contains everything you need to play, including:
    • Fast and dynamic rules for roleplaying in the apocalypse
    • Robust classless character-creation
    • Optional Tribe Creation rules for group play
    • Full campaign setting including many detailed settlements and NPCs
    • Dozens of inspiring adventure seeds
    • 17 Tribes complete with unique beliefs, structures, affiliations, and NPCs
    • A bestiary containing 35 ruthless and terrifying enemies
    • Hardcore Mode: rules variants for brave players in search of a brutal challenge.
    • Lone Wanderer: Solitaire rules for solo adventures in the wastelands
    • Apocalypse Toolkit: Tools and generators to assist GMs in running their games dynamically

    Oh geez, this one is gonna get us some letters. Lemme just warn you in advance if you’re as hot on this property as everyone on the internet seems to be for Moorcock stuff, you might wanna just go check out a Movie Mastery or something. Otherwise, welcome to Amber Diceless, a game that has rules it would probably just be better off without.

    Well how about one of these? It’s only the third one in 209 episodes, so I hope they sort of feel special by now! It’s Supplement Spectacular, where we dig through our surprisingly ample library of followup books to games you’d never think would have them, and talk about how those games expand and change. This week, it’s Chill: Voodoo and A.C.E. Supers, so you’re getting a little horror and a little superhero stuff. Together at last!

    This takes a while, but on the bright side we really find out some new fun and not so fun stuff about the game in the process. Good on ya for being patrons, you’re learning stuff no one else will. Unless they… read the game, I guess? Or just find someone else doing this. We can’t be the only ones.
