Modern System Character Generator (full access)
Publisher: RPG Objects
by Sigurd L. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 12/09/2005 00:00:00

This is a brilliant product in some ways, and a lame one in others. I'm really torn between love and hate here.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: Generating characters is quick and step-by-step, the interface works well, and it supports all RPGObjects' products. Above all, the myriad options are well calculated and taken care of, so the finished character output is correct. This can't be said of Code Monkey's e-tools, for example. <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: That it's purely a one-shot, npc generating program. If I could have used it to track the progression of my gaming group's characters, and their foes as well, this product would have been unbeatable. Making characters takes time, and it's utterly annoying to have that effort cancelled when I log off. <br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

A solid review of an unusual, but very interesting vehicle. The characters in my d20Modern campaign stole two such vehicles the very next game session!

Big Bang Vol. 3: US Army Future Combat Systems
Publisher: Alternate Realities Publications
by Sigurd L. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/18/2004 00:00:00

Ooh Mama! Cutting edge combat firearms and support weapons from the most technologically advanced fighting force on this planet. Although not yet deployed in the real world, these weapons will change high-tech conventional warfare in the years to come. But you, the GM, can let rip right now! Richly detailed and well statted, these weapons can be plugged-and-played right into your campaign. This material will be hard to find anywhere else. <br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Great background, well written, by someone who likes their guns. Good gaming stats, easy to use. The most modern and innovative guns (not actually) available today, so far not described in any other gaming format I've seen so far. <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Whine whine whine ... no, wait. There is nothing to not like about this supplement. Except that there is not more of it. Go ARP!<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Big Bang: The Mostly Illustrated RPG Guide to Firearms Vol 2
Publisher: Alternate Realities Publications
by Sigurd L. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/18/2004 00:00:00

Yes! This is how it's done. A mix of weapons both modern and venerable. Some are new, but look cool and show promise. Others are battle-tested and found across the globe in various settings. All are suitable for arming your heroes or villains, for sheer looks or gritty utility. <br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Great background material, and good translations of real-world stats into gaming stats. Descriptions of the newer weapons are hard to find. This supplement lets me put them right into my setting. The older weapons are workhorses that can be found in the hands of virtually any hood or guerilla. <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: What is it about cover art and ARP? The gun on the cover is the FN F2000 assault rifle,which is not detailed in this supplement. But it was very well described in Big Bang Vol.1. Go figure. <br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Big Bang: The Mostly Illustrated RPG Guide to Firearms Vol 1
Publisher: Alternate Realities Publications
by Sigurd L. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 10/18/2004 00:00:00

The book makes for a very entertaining read. It is a good roleplaying supplement for any modern setting featuring gunplay.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Most of the guns presented are relevant to a modern action setting, and I see myself using them in my gaming. Good photos of the guns. Lots of good background material on the various guns - in terms of developmental history, where and by whom they were used, and their advantages / drawbacks. Technical information is clearly and accurately presented. The chapter on ammo is very useful.

<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: The product didn't contain material about any of the guns pictured on the cover. Detailing three different .22LR submachineguns and two .22LR machineguns was a waste of space. Nobody outfits their hero or villain with that kind of weapon, unless they're playing prison guards or totalitarian police agents facing massed soft targets.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

Big Bang Vol. 6: German Small Arms of WW2
Publisher: Alternate Realities Publications
by Sigurd L. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 08/24/2004 00:00:00

This is a great book if you like trivia about several obscure German firearms of WW2. But if you, like me, wanted the low-down on the most commonly used German firearms for use in your campaign, then this book is a waste of money. Richly detailed is the Volkespistole and the Luftfaust, the latter only a prototype weapon. Notably missing are the mainstays of the Wehrmacht arsenal - the MP38/40, the MG42 and MG34, as well as the Bergmann MP18 and the late Sturmgewehr 44. I'm deeply disappointed. Had I bought this unseen in a shop, I'd have taken it right back and demanded a refund.

It is unfortunate that you feel so disappointed about your purchase, Sigurd. However, with three competing lines of products (Wierd War II from Pinnacle, Hell on Earth from Bloodstone Press, and World War II Heroes from SteelMagic Studios), we felt it would be best to steer clear of duplicating their efforts in this particular book. To that end, we focused on German experimental and paramilitary weapons, areas that have not been covered in competing products. Future volumes will expand into the more common areas of coverage that you would prefer to see.
