Sucks that you can't easily re-title videos. The mourners still sound neat!

[pugknowspro]

I had to fix the video also, late night editing. we were contemplating a forum in the future or do you all prefer just sticking with leaving comments?

I think it would certainly be cool converted to a Savage Worlds setting. Would be hard with the use of the Rippers book already translating alot of what you would need. Great review, as always!

[rorag111]

did anyone else see this and immediately think "vampire hunter d" the setting and anime are similar and you could adapt the settting to fit the western themes. comment if you have an opinion

[aikighost]

Thats interesting, I found A/States setting to be fuller and more well realised than UnMet, with a deep level of playability and possible play styles available. I thought that UnMet was a bit too obsessed with its graphical appearance. But both are good settings IMHO.

Hey aiki, I go by Simple Man on the RPGnet boards.

I've seen a|state, wasn't too impressed, sadly. The setting doesn't really grab me and slap me in the face with awesome like UnMet's did.

[aikighost]

Agreed good setting, really annoying games system. If you like the UnMet setting have a look at A/State by Contested Ground Studios.

[mcclaud]

I do have to agree with one thing that Hickman said - that RPGs are trying to be more like simulation games with more accurate and realistic items, actions, effects, etc. And to some degree this degrades the fun.

In other instances, it's purely a matter of taste. Take status effects, for example. Bleeding and stunned are cool when used correctly, but then you throw dazzled and withering in there. You only need the first two, really, before it becomes redundant. As well as using power cards.

[tensider]

Sounds like it could be mined for info and translated to Savage Worlds.

[azirk83]

I hate Unmet. Such an awesome setting, and Eos Press is known for decent game design.

The system is so blah. I was so disappointed I just couldn't stand the game.

[ViperHeartJack]

Hey, you know what i'd really like to see a Review of? Dark Heresy. The Warhammer 40K gaming system.

[acm4bass]

rules heavy games can be difficult. especially if its a single game, and not a game engine...i think you could reproduce thye setting witha diffierent system like uni-system or cortex etc.
