Re: [RPG]: Noumenon, reviewed by Jocelyn Robitaille (5/4)

Great review, Jocelyn! I especially like how you explain the meaning of the strange terms the game uses.

I'm not entirely clear on what characters do in the game, however. What's the goal of the PC group? Is it just to explore the environment they find themselves in? I think that's a neat idea, playing up the adventure/mystery aspects of roleplaying, but how much replayability is there?

Do you think the system works well with the games themes, or is it really just a simple system for task resolution generally unconnected to the game world (which is what I get from the review)?

This game got some negative attention for being too strange, but your review makes it sound wonderful. How difficult do you think this game would be to sell to an average gaming group?

Hmm, I'm definitely giving this game a second look now. Thanks!
