Re: [RPG]: Corporation: The Roleplaying Game, reviewed by Destriarch (3/5)

It definately is not simply a gun bunny RPG any more than, say, Spycraft is, but it IS one that concentrates very closely on military-style operations.
The game is geared toward combat, but it does include most of the 'social package' that you might expect in an RPG designed to handle a wide range of activities.

As far as I can tell (and I might very well have missed something) there are no detailed rules for social interaction, and generally this kind of play is not discussed -- but judging by the many one-line plot ideas, this style of play seems to be encouraged, just not well-supported.

I plan to write my own review for this game, but I'm afraid it won't be so complimentary. It didn't strike me as a particularly bad game until I read the origin of corporations according to Corporation... But I'll save it for my review, since it's good for a laugh.
