The first V&V adventure, Crisis is to V&V as the Keep on the Borderlands was to Basic D&D. A decent introductory adventure chocked full of Jeff Dee illustrations and Cool villians.

It seems as though I'm running into V&V all over the place in recent weeks. I've had a wave of nostalga for 80s RPGs recently, and have been trying to convince two members of my old gaming group to dig out their V&V and Psi-World collections and part with them. Not only that, but I stumbled upon my copy of From the Deeps of Space two days ago, the only V&V product I ever owned. I was even thinking about reviewing it, if only because it highlights some of the things you don't want to have in a scenario.
At any rate, thanks for the review, and if you have Death Duel With the Destroyers I'd love to see a review of it.

Thanks, If I do continue, I would probably go in order (minus the holes in my collection), so Duel would be next.
I know the books are old, but I know a lot of people like to dig up old games, but want some info before they plunk down there money. I think If some one was considering V&V, and looked it up on RPGnet, they would be happy to find a bunch of information.
Yeah, from the deeps of space isn't one of the best V&V adventures out there. With V&V you get a good mix of the good the bad and the ugly (oh, and a few greats!).

Yes, yes! More retroreviews, please! Grubman, I'd be up for reviews of anything that you play. I've always wondered about the V&V line, expecially the adventures and the enemies books.
(And if you wanted to review the Star Frontiers module War Machine that would be super-nifty.)

For those that were interested you might check around your comic book bargian bins for the V&V 4 issue ltd series. As it was essentially the Crisis module done as a comic book and even included some story/setting updates for the villains and heroes presented in the book.

Was that the final adventure in the trilogy that began with Mutiny on the Elanor Morris? I had that set of adventures until about two years ago, and IIRC The War Machine was somewhat of a let down---If memory serves it seemed as though the scenario was written for very experienced characters, and if you had just played through the trilogy adventures you were not going to make it.

Funny you should mantion that, I was thinking about re-doing my massive complete Star Frontiers collection review.
There was a funny (?) story last year, when I wrote a 10,000 word plus review, and instead of copy and paste, I CUT and paste! The review was apparently to long to fit, so I erased it, and went back to edit it into 2 parts only to find I deleted the whole darn thing!
Funny huh? I even wrote a thread crying about it!
In any case, I've always meant to go back and redo it, but just haven't had the heart.
