[RPG]: Excursion into the Bizarre, reviewed by jrients (2/3)

http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/11/11516.phtml

Jeff Rients's Summary:

This self-described \"rather unusual role-playing game\" from 1985 may be rough in places, but it fits a lot of fun into a small package.

Go to the full review for more information.

Good review.

Good review, although I think you make it tough on people, making them want to read a product that almost impossible to find.

Just today I was able to contact D. Wolfgang Trippe, one of the designers. Coincidentally enough, he is considering a new edition!

I remember seeing a copy of this thing on the shelves of my FLGS back in '85. I think it was still sitting there in '88

Excellent work, Jeff. You are a paleoludologist without compare. Without intended insult, this is several thousand time more interesting to me than another review of the latest Exalted whatever-book. I’m hopeful that this is the beginning of your reviewing career.
