Very interesting review!

I just finished running this campaign last Friday (and must update my signature accordingly). It left me with mixed feelings. Firstly I'll not deny that our campaign stretched across 6 months and we had too many gaps for personal reasons within the group. Given the amount of information divulged (some of it being little more than flavour text) I think it was hard for the players to really hold together all of the important threads (despite lengthy recaps).

Tatters is (IMHO) an excellent campaign and a worthy addition to the Chaosium catalogue. Unfortunately I buy adventures so that I don't have to spend too long in preparation and I feel that this campaign requires a fair amount of prep for many of the sessions.

One thing I did up-front was to clearly state that the adventures were in Britain and that gun crime would be clamped down on hard. This was because I felt the opening encounters are really great and low-key but not if the group are hardened globetrotting adventurers skilled with knives and pistols who'll easily cut down such opponents.

Still, an excellent campaign overall! Thank you for the review, I liked your different take on the adventure.
