The Broken Cask
by Julianna [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 01/16/2024 04:43:43

I’m enjoying this game immensely! It has more structure than a basic yes/no oracle for solo role playing, but is more open-ended than a proscriptive CYOA book. I love the cozy premise that still brings in sparks of fantasy & adventuring, too. Plus enough dice rolling and table-look-up to satisfy my itch to roll! Will buy any solo game this publisher makes from here on out!!

The Broken Cask

Love it. This is a fun, chill little solo-rpg that goes into the daily details of running an inn in a fantasy setting. It can be as light-hearted or as serious, narrative or crunchy as you want to make it, and the book explains things well and in detail.

If you consider yourself a writer, this game makes for INCREDIBLE writing prompts.

The only thing that could be improved is if they included MOAR! More tables, larger tables, side quests, etc. If Shoreless Skies chooses to revise and re-release it, I would love to see 3d6 or d20 tables instead of just 2d6. There are a couple of tables where that I decided to replace with larger samples I found on the internet. I thought about deducting a star for this, but I'm honestly having too much fun.

I also wouldn't mind seeing a space opera setting for this ruleset.

The Broken Cask

"Well, hello there! Welcome to the Flying Stag, our hearth and home among the treetops. My name is Wulflen Skyway, I'm the proprietor of this fine establishment. Now, the dancing doesn't start until twilight, and you don't look like you have an undead problem, so what shall it be? We have a moongoat shawarma that's proven very popular, and craftsmanship demands I recommend the Frozen Drupelet, our raspberry spiced ice wine made right-

Ah, touring around looking for stories, are you? Well, I was a bard back in the day, before some... stuff happened, so I could spin you a few yarns. No, no, the scale armor is just an affectation, nothing to worry yourself about. No, I'm not going to "dish" about my past, thank you. The Flying Stag, though, well, it may not be as well known as The Broken Cask - yet - but it has its stories to tell."

Heavy Metal Thunder Mouse
by Jeff P. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 06/13/2019 22:13:49

Getcher mota runnin' (LOUD GUITAR) Head out on da highway (LOUD GUITAR) Lookin for adventcha (LOUD GUITAR) 'N whateva comes my way-ay-ay....

Yes, this is a review for Heavy Metal Thunder Mouse, the roleplaying game where you play a mouse biker in a mouse gang and do mouse motorcycle stuff. And it's BRILLIANT!!! Picture "The Mouse and the Motorcycle" meets "Sons of Anarchy" and you're really, really close to understanding what this game is about.

The game itself uses lightly modified Fate rules. It's completely self-contained, though, so you don't need a copy of Fate Core or any other gaming books. All you need is the Heavy Metal Thunder Mouse rule book and you're set to play.

Fate does use specialized dice: six-siders with two blank sides, two '+' sides, and two '-' sides. You can approximate this with normal six-siders where a 1-2 = blank, a 3-4 = '+.' and a 5-6 = '-,' or some such convention, but honestly, it's a lot more fun using Fate dice, which are inexpensive and available at most game shops.

This would be an excellent game for beginning roleplayers, especially beginning roleplayers of the adolescent or pre-teen variety. Nothing in the game setting is so inherently adult that it couldn't be run 'as is' for just about any group of bright kids.

On the other hand, the idea of mice biker gangs carousing, being up to no good, getting into brawls, and running from the law is also delicious enough to keep even the crustiest and most jaded grognards in your gaming group entertained.

BORN TO BE MI-I-I-I-ICE.... BORN TO BE MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE....

(MORE LOUD GUITAR)

Racing along at a breakneck pace to reach the rumble or outpace the cat thats hot on your tail is a thrill thats well covered in this amazing world book. If you have ever loved shows like the Rescue Rangers or just want something less intense (thou not nessacerily) than Sons of Anarchy then this is the book for you and a worthy addition to any FATE library.
