Game Geeks #73 Fading Suns supplements by Holistic Design

[cwilla321]

This might seem like a stupid question but are the older supplements compatible with the new stuff, like the Revised Second Edition? I am thinking of hunting down the books or maybe going to drive through rpg and have no idea although I do love the setting from what I've heard from reviews like this one.

[VengefulTrait]

Hey nerds. Who reads these books anymore.

[angelicmadrigal]

"Dark Between the Stars" one fo the few Fading Suns books i'm missing. :(

[NutNapalm]

The Ukar are all kinds of Awesome, not too big on the Obun. Did they ever tell you what the Sathraists were really about?

[PrinzMegahertz]

I would like to know that as well. And where does it state something about Sathraists drinking souls?

Anyway, great reviews. Aliens and Deviltries is really a must have, but I'm not so hot for the weird places, except for the description of pentateuch

[jfridy]

I want reviews of...

1. Dread, by The Impossible Dream

2. Sorcerer, by Ron Edwards

Both are smaller print, but I think need more publicity. Admittedly, Sorcerer is very well known in the indi-RPG community.

Nice review. Will you be reviewing Arcane Tech at some point?

If you're still taking review suggestions, I'd love to see:

1) Shadowrun 4th edition.

2) Monsters and Other Childish Things.

Keep up the excellent work!

Where's my shout-out, Kurt?

[Ogma01]

Up until a few years ago, I used to pronounce it "BEAST-iary," as well, until I researched it and discovered it is REALLY "BES-chee-ary". Feel free to take that on if you wish. :-)

Nice overview once again, Kurt.

I bought Fading sun a few years back at My first Gameing convention at about age 14 and it baffled me then, I hadent alot of GMing experince and certainly the system made me go @_@ but now im older (18 lol) Im starting to realy get the game, and get this for an idea....A Unknown Armies/Fading Suns Cross over! I know im crazy are I not?

[NutNapalm]

What sort of Schools would exist in FS?

[zompire]

Epideromancy, Entropomancy, And i see a Mix of the Technofetishism and Mechanomancy making some sorta "Replace-your-body-parts for-Mojo" kinda school. Dipsomancer would still be there, But id say it mostly be the Cosmology of UA like the Avatars and the Invisible Clergy that would make it over. Ritual Magic having become more crazy as well. My main idea is that The Fading Suns is what ACTULY happens when all the Avatars accend, the Universe just gets left to rot.

[ManaJunkie]

Thanks for reviewing these one. I love Fading Suns as well.
