Re: [RPG]: Broadsword, reviewed by Laurence (5/5)
Mechanicaly-wise what Joshua describes is Pendragon on d6. Nothing new here, just a simplification of an already simple game. But the reviewer provides 0 data on the game other than what can be found in a sales pitch. So, here go the questions:
Joshua mentions attributes and skills. What attributes? What skills?
Magic is just handwaving. But how is this done? What's the purpose of magic?
The review says 0 plus much-less-than-one about the setting. What's the game about? That is has broadswords on it we can get from the title, thanks. Ah, yes, it's Conanesque and reminds one of T&T. I would like to know a little more, though.
The nine one-page adventures are over the top. It's fine to know but what are they about?
What makes it what old-style fantasy gaming should be? For instance, why is it any better than T&T?
I know the game is short but there's still scope to provide some data without reproducing it straight.
