Re: [RPG]: Necropolis 2350, reviewed by verdantgreen (3/4)
Nice to see some Savage Worlds-related reviews. I've been playing the system since 2004. As for Necropolis 2350, I've owned all related material for that setting. Including, the original pdf-only rules. This setting deserved a hardcover release, and it eventually got one. I have yet to play the entire plot point, but have played some scenarios. Wiggy's right(no I'm not a Triple Ace Employee) when he says the 2351-55 update pdf(or print product) is a nice addition. Allows for roleplaying possibilities, if you're looking for that mix of rpg'ing and table top combats. The reviewer made mention of the artillery support tables. Those are great. As I recall, those types of tables go back to another Savage Worlds setting called Tour of Darkness(sort of Vietnam war mixed with supernatural elements, creatures, etc.) Good stuff either way.
One thing I can't say enough about Necropolis(and a great many other Savage Worlds products-official or licensed) is the tremendous amount of support products. Necropolis 2350(Triple Ace Games) is no exception. Print and pdf rulebooks, and expansions. Not to mention, 5 or 6 collections of printable figure flats and vehicles. I've constructed two of the vehicles, and they're a great addition to the table top especially if you can't afford Warhammer vehicles. They've even got 3-5 pdf adventures to use in addition to those offered in the main book.
I realize millitary settings may not be for everyone, but I highly recommend Necropolis, and the related support products. Necropolis, along with the Savage Worlds Explorer's Edition rpg, keep things from getting too crunchy, and bogged down. Triple Ace's forums are also at your disposal for advice from the author. If the website hasn't been shared on this forum already, this fan boy will happily post it... tripleacegames.com
