Cha'alt: Chartreuse Shadows
by James [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 01/12/2024 09:51:03

Its part of the Trilogy. If you like Venger, you like Cha'alt or you like non standard OSR adventure then this is for you.

Gilded Die of Satanis
by James [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 01/12/2024 09:49:13

A nice idea but honestly I think this is pretty niche interest. Doesnt feel to me that there is enough of an upside to the die, it feels to be something like "take a hit of cringe for a reroll later". This isnt what Im looking for in my games but is certainly an option for people looking for less Tolkein and more Adam Sandler in their games

Cha'alt X-Cards
by James [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 11/07/2023 02:34:37

I really like the cards. A nice way to give players agency and bring more fun into the game. Not for everyone, for example people who prefer more simulationist games

Cha'alt X-Cards
by Colin [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 11/02/2023 11:46:43

Venger’s parody of the X-Card invokes Cha’alt’s themes of gonzo, eldritch, horror, science-fantasy, post-apocalyptic, and sleaze with an improvisational prompt that, if acted out, rewards the player with a token (Divine Favor) to reroll a die in the future, closing a gameplay feedback loop.

Even if you don’t play Cha’alt, this is worth a look for almost any other tabletop game and a clever replacement for 5e D&D’s loathsome Inspiration rewards.

Advanced Crimson Dragon Slayer
by James [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/27/2023 03:54:10

Simple and easy to use, this is really an easy way to get into role playing without thousands of rules and complexities. More oriented to narrative and fun and less to simulation.

Crimson Dragon Slayer 1.11
by James H. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/09/2023 11:42:46

TL;DR If you want to roleplay instead of a kind of tolkein inspired spreadsheet session then this is for you.

Everything you need to roleplay, have fun, slay dragons etc.

Honestly all the different versions get quite confusing ,not least because they all seem to be free except the original :)

That said, it doesnt matter which version you get the basics are the same, its fast playing, easy to learn, focused on the play and not the statistics.

Alpha Blue
by James H. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/18/2023 03:50:30

A great system with a great setting. The only negative for me is that is much adult content that Id be worried suggesting it to most of potential players and I think Ill end up running "CDS in space" most of the time rather than pulling out the alpha blue book. That is by design of course, and honestly anyone buying korthalis games expecting a PG13 dungeoncrawl is sorely deluding themselves.

Crimson Dragon Slayer D20 Revised
by James H. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/18/2023 03:42:00

A great simple rules light system. As other reviews have said there are a few things that I think should have got at least a sentence (HD is the obvious one). I think CDS is a good place to start for people new to roleplay - honestly I cant imagine starting with D&D or pathfinder, there is just so much to read, know and understand and at its core CDS has everything you need but i doubt scales to a multi year epic campaign. That said, I cant imagine many characters surviving more than a few session in the typical chaalt or similar settings.

Cha'alt-GPT
by James [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/18/2023 03:25:40

A fun little overview of a game of chaalt. To me the greatest value is in showing how a game might look if you dont have a lot of experience

Cha'alt-GPT
by James [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/18/2023 03:25:40

A fun short story written in the form of a game report. For me the greatest value I think is understanding how a session of chaalt is envisioned. I dont think i would want to read a whole novel in this style, but for me this is perhaps a little too short to really be a fun read. I definately see a place for this kind of content, perhaps as examples to help newcomers understand the world and the way to play. For example chaalt with Crimson Dragon Slayer is really not a dice heavy roll for this, roll for that game. For free its a no brainer, pick it up, if it were a dollar or two it would be worth a look

Cha'alt
by Colin C. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 03/17/2023 12:22:30

Cha’alt is one of the more enjoyable campaigns I’ve experienced since my carefree college days, and gives a hard break from the increasingly stale fantasy settings provided by Dungeons & Dragons.

I’ve been in a dozen or more Cha’alt games and the system falls somewhere between the OSR and FKR in terms of design and play style. Venger knew what he was doing when he built the stripped-down (but familiar) 5e/d20 framework that Cha’alt run on, as it invites a group to invent their own subsystems, refine them, or toss them out as needed through emergent play. It’s a freeing practice if you haven't tried it.

The Cha'alt vibe is Gamma World, Dark Sun, and a the Old One Must be Crazy.

Kudos if you got the reference.

Encounter Critical III
by A customer [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 03/15/2023 17:35:54

love it. goes great with the Cha'alt series and meshes well with Crimson Dragon Slayer D20 system differs with character creation and advancement. Encounter Critical characters start at level 1 with a hefty list of abilities and would advance at level 7, whereas Crimson Dragon Slayer system gives you few abilities but get more at every odd level. Being an OSR type product a GM/Player can mix and match the elements of the systems to create some unique races and classes for Encounter Critical. Yes, Vanth is toast and all the refugees have come to Cha'alt and Alpha Blue. Much like any other table, its your game. Vanth may still exist unscathed. A good addition and spin on current popular culture as well

Encounter Critical III
by Jeffery S. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 01/06/2023 08:38:48

I will start by saying that if I was rating this as a Cha'alt expansion, then it would have been a 4. But this was marketed as an Encounter Critical product. There are entirely different expectations between the two and Venger did not deliver an Encounter Critical product (in my opinion).

The "sleaze" was way too high for this type of product. I realize that line is different for different people, but one can usually tell when something is "a bit too far". This is too far in my opinion for the intended audience. Players who want sleaze already had Cha'alt.

Next up, Vanth was destroyed? For me Encounter Critical IS Vanth. With Vanth destroyed in this edition and the Vanthians as refugees in another campaign setting, it just did not feel like Encounter Critical. It is like telling the kids they are going to Disney Land, but you take them to Six Flags where one little corner has been redone as Disney Land. Will the kids still have fun? Probably, but it isn't really Disney Land.

The changing of the system from "comically over-complicated" to OSR-lite was jarring. Was the old Encounter Critically too complicated mechanically? Yes. Did it need to be toned for a newer edition? Yes. But this seems a bit too far in the other direction. But for some this may be a perk and not a fault.

To sum up, if you like Cha'alt this is a fine expansion for that setting. If you like Encounter Critical this may not be what you are looking for. Since this was advertised as Encounter Critical I went with my rating of 2.
