Check out Tommy's Take on Bloodshadows 3E. Here are a few excerpts...
"A chapter in the back of the book covers the city of Selastos, which has a lot of typical noir tropes, with fantasy flourishes. For instance, the Taxim helped the rich break the backs of labor, providing cheap workers through possessing the dead...then went on strike and scored one of the few victories over the wealthy in the city. A good start to get your game going without detailing a city from scratch."
"Magic is cool and scary, just how I like it. Most everyone can TRY magic, but the less versed you are, the more likely things are to go bad for you. This is exemplified by Feedback, which can have no real effect, generate Fatigue, cause you to lose your voice, cause you to lose one of your Pursuits (you can spend 2 XP to get it back), rip open a portal to...somewhere else...or even create a massive crater, killing everything in the area, including the caster. That last one takes a pretty big surge." |
