CSI: Babylon. Sentinels of the Weave Review
Sentinels of the Weave is a little-known and not very big game. It’s appeared in one of the RPG digests and I would probably never notice if it wasn't for the logline — «CSI: Babylon». Those two words were enough to intrigue me. A mystical procedural drama in the atmosphere of ancient Babylon? Count me in! However, as I read the book, my enthusiasm turned first to skepticism, and then to perplexity. The authors keep their promises, but they do it... in an odd manner.
Swords of the Serpentine Review
Three years ago, I participated in the Swords of the Serpentine playtest, a new game from Kevin Kulp and Emily Dresner that combines elements of a detective genre and classic Sword & Sorcery. I was delighted with the game, had run several adventures, and began to look forward to the release. And then Swords of the Serpentine got into production hell and got stuck for a long time in the stage of editing and artwork preparation. A couple of months ago, the book was finally released! So it's time to remember about this peculiar game and write a review.
