3/30/2023 0 Comments Pandemonium movie review![]() ![]() As a companion piece to the rulebook, it's excellent. ![]() The ending is a bit of an anticlimax and there isn't much support for novice GMs…I know what I'm going to do with it, but I have a firmer vision of my campaign than a lot of people others may be lost.Īs for the rest of Complete Pandemonium, the art is up to par and the layout good all in all the entire thing feels like a bit of an appetizer rather than a main course, but when taken as a whole it seems to be a good value. My only complaint about the "Disaster Movie" adventure, as I've called it, is that while it takes apart the Hub it doesn't actually say how to put it back together again. The "religious passion play" of the Fading Suns universe is apparent in at least one creature that stalks only those with guilt on their souls.Īnd finally there are the two adventures, "Everlight" and "A Healing Draught." Both seem to be solid adventures (although I haven't played them)- one deals with the advances made by various powers during an apparent catastrophe of epic proportions, the other a quiet religious quest that captures much of what I like about Fading Suns. Rulebook is "lost information" in that it hasn't reappeared, and would be valuable to new players.Īfter all of this come the beasts that populate Pandemonium, or at least some of the interesting ones. My one complaint is that (like Sister Tracy from the 1st edition rulebook,) Graaf the King of Thieves has only been briefly mentioned in the new edition, and some of what was revealed about him in the 1st ed. He could eat most of my player-characters for lunch, which is a new thing for us. Next comes stats on docking fees, important places in the Hub, and various NPCs, including perhaps the first loud-mouthed noble I've seen in a role-playing game who stands a chance of backing his words up. There's a history of what happened to the world while it was lost, as well as notable places, descriptions of the rest of the surface and more adventure hooks. This product builds upon that, adding a map of The Hub, the only city to be untouched by the cataclysms wracking the planet, as well as the obligatory map of the world and linear solar map seen in al Malik Fiefs. ![]() The worldbook section goes hand in hand with the rulebook's background on Pandemonium. We'll separate the GM's Screen and Complete Pandemonium for ease of reference in this review as they come bundled together.Ĭomplete Pandemonium is something neat: it is one part worldbook like the Imperial Surveys, but it also includes NPC stats, as well as two adventures, both remarkably different. I've managed to put both to use in short order. I was lucky enough to pick up The Fading Suns Gamemasters Screen and Complete Pandemonium the same day I grabbed al Malik Fiefs. ![]()
