Re: [RPG]: Primetime Adventures, reviewed by C.W.Richeson (5/5)

Primetime Adventures as I experienced it is a very curious phenomenon. I did not actually enjoy playing it, largely because although I like streamlined mechanics, the resolution system left me very unsatisfied. Whenever our group talked about playing it again, enough of us came to the conclusion that we didn't like the cards and screen presence rating system that we decided not to reopen the book. And yet, it's one of a handful of games that has most influenced the way I play! It affected how I run and play almost everything, whether hippy or trad games.

I highly recommend at least reading it, and trying it. You may not like the actual game any more than I did, but you'll probably get a lot of ideas from the experience.
