ROLE CALL
The weather outside may be turning frightful, but the tabletop remains delightful. We pick out the roleplaying releases on the way for autumn
Words by John Dodd
In the aftermath of Gen Con, things always get a little quiet until the other big conventions start to ramp up, but that gives us time to showcase a number of the smaller independent roleplaying releases that are about to hit shelves.
Arion Games recently finished its latest trio of books for the Advanced Fighting Fantasy game system. Stellar Adventures is a standalone book that allows players and GMs to run games in the far-future settings of the Fighting Fantasy world. It contains a huge number of options to support almost any style of game, from gritty alien hunting on derelict spacecraft and deep space exploration to desperate rebels fighting an evil space empire. Rules are provided for vehicle and starship construction, alien race design, psionic powers, robot types, starship crews and setting design.
