This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

There are some great reviews of Clockwork & Chivalry 2nd edition, Kingdom & Commonwealth Omnibus I, and Renaissance Deluxe, over at RPGNet.

"Clockwork and Chivalry is one of the best historical games I have seen this year, and the only one from this column that has gone on to become a regular weekly campaign for my regular gaming group. Cakebread and Walton, the authors, deserve high honors for their game and should be proud to live up to their title of purveyors of fine imaginings."

"Roleplayers Chronicle made a major announcement today regarding the changes coming for 2013. One of the biggest changes is my move from doing reviews to a new article series called Featured Product. The multi-article Featured Product series will contain an in-depth test drive of a particular game system or setting. I am pleased to announce that the first Featured Product will be Clockwork & Chivalry/Cthulhu, coming in April. The Clockwork & Chivalry Featured Product series will contain a look at the game's setting, character creation, game balance, support, and production quality. From this series I'll be generating a collection of five pre-generated characters for use within your own adventures and campaigns, hopefully available for download at the Clockwork & Chivalry website (with the approval of Peter and Ken of course). The Featured Product series posts on Saturdays at 2:00 PM CST and should cover between 4 and 6 articles with a single article posting each week. I'll post links when each article comes available. You are all welcome to post comments and follow-ups to the presented article at the bottom of the article's page. You can even chat about your own experiences with Clockwork & Chivalry, Clockwork & Cthulhu, or the Renaissance system." Aaron, Roleplayers Chronicle http://roleplayerschronicle.com/?p=33084

In a 17th century that didn't quite happen, a nation is torn apart by civil war.
When an embittered mercenary agrees to escort a grieving widow to visit her husband's grave, little does he realise the dangers they will face. This is the story of their struggle through a country divided. As they journey through tainted lands, ravaged by alchemical magic and giant clockwork war machines, they are reunited with old friends and stalked by sinister foes. The reluctant heroes band together in this tale of loss and despair, of redemption and friendship, and ultimately, of retribution and revenge!

The Alchemist's Revenge is the first volume in the Companie of Reluctant Heroes series, a novel by the co-author of the multi-award winning Abney Park's Airship Pirates RPG and the Clockwork & Chivalry RPG.

Not to totally necro, but I'm going to try out Renaissance Deluxe. I was looking at Clockwork & Chivalry 2e, but the price point isn't too friendly when I've just finished moving. Looking forward to checking our Renaissance, though!
