Re: [RPG]: Polaris, reviewed by cj.23 (5/4)

Great review!

We also found in our group that the Moons are very, very important. Much more important than we realized at first. My suggestion to anyone playing this is go to 11 as a Moon. Suggest all sorts of stuff. Be aggressive in the story. Give your opinion and make even more suggestions. The way the game is designed, the Moons cannot break stuff since the final say is up to the Heart and the Mistaken; however, with the Moons firing on full cylinders you get loads of really great twists, betrayals, love stories; etc.

Also, one of my good friends, Anna, is releasing a game called Thou Art But A Warrior, which is a morph of Polaris that takes at the end of Muslim Spain and the beginning of the Crusades. Very well done. There are some changes to the system to make it work for the topic, but it's very much based on Polaris. It's very well done and much recommended. The site is here.
