A game for Storytellers

This is a game for story-tellers rather than the number cruncher who must have every niche filled & has little imagination. It is definitely out of the ordinary for the RPG world and requires both the Narrator & the players to all take active roles as story-tellers. No passive roll the dice here, each player must help paint the picture. I think it would be an admirable way of attracting folks to play RPG's who are outside of the usual gaming audience. The alternate game "Mythic Russia" takes the Firebird children's fairytale & brings it to gaming life and shows where this game is going & developing.

The finest fantasy role-playing game around

Glorantha has for years been the richest, most vibrant fantasy world in the gaming scene but, in my opinion, it has been let down by the Runequest system which was good - but not good enough. It could not cater for the mythic depth of the world, characters who could ride lightning bolts and become the avatars of ancient heroes, dragons the size of mountain ranges and adventures which would revolve not on who was the finest swordsman, but who best embodied his god's virtues and abilities. At last, that game is here, with a flexible and innovative system from Robin Laws, and already a stream of first-class supplements. This is, I confess, a terribly gushing review. You don't want to read any more of my extravagant praise - just buy this game, and play it. The Hero Wars are now.
