Demon Hunters to be released soon

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

Margaret Weis Publications Ltd will be releasing Demon Hunters in a couple of weeks. Demon Hunters will use the Cortex system, the same system as Serenity and Battlestar Galactica. The hardcover rulebook will come with a 30 minute dvd by Dead Gentlemen Productions.

Initially I had thought that Demon Hunter was a role playing game with a video made for it. Turns out that Demon Hunters was a film that Dead Gentlemen Productions made back in 1999. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ll probably give it a watch today. So will MWP do an rpg of the Gamers next?

If you do go to the site, no need to click on the product, all you’ll get is “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…” and a picture of a Battlestar Galactica book. I understand that their “new” site is under construction, but leaving placeholder content like that doesn’t seem professional. Good thing this is an amateur site, I can get away with crap like that.

Review - Battlestar Galactica RPG Corebook

Friday, April 18th, 2008

It’s Friday and that means Doctor Who is back! It also means I’ll be watching Battlestar Galactica right after that. I’m a fan of the show, and I enjoy it even though they made Boomer a female Cylon, they got rid of the Cylon Raider, took away the Centurions’ voice, and, most tragic of all, they got rid of (sniff) Muffit. The only saving graces are the story, special effects, they kept the Viper, and, most importantly of all, Edward James Olmos plays Adama. I expect him to say to Helo, “It’s too bad she won’t live! But then again, who does?” I still miss that mechanical daggit, though.

Margaret Weis Productions has published The Battlestar Galactica Roleplaying Game. This company seems bent on making role playing games from television shows. First Serenity, now Battlestar Galactica, and they’re going to do Supernatural. They did a good job on the Serenity book, and they did a good job on this one to. Since they’ve done so well on television based games, I hope they can get the license for a Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles RPG. (more…)
