Bloodlust Metal

Quote from: boulet;367838Well no actually, the credit of this idea is still in Wraith camp.

They suggested:
each player plays a weapon bearer, GM plays god weapons
each player plays a god weapon, GM plays weapon bearers (that's weird)
each player plays both a god weapon and its weapon bearer (stupid IMO: there's no more telepathic discussions between god and bearer, what's the point of the game then?)
one player plays a bearer, another a god weapon (needs even number of players... could work but the lack of symmetry seems odd to me)

The Wraith/Shadow player duo is superior to all of them in my view. But it needs a good system to adjudicate passions and domination between gods and bearers (that's the weakest part of Bloodlust IMO).

I loved the first edition and speak, read and write French (probably better than English), where can I get the PDF;)?

(Salut!)

Well, after getting the book and getting home to good ol' Arizona (where I'm the only french native and speaker in my game group), I wanted to get my hands on the PDF as well. To my surprise it isn't sold anywhere! I did find the freebie stuff and lots of resource PDFs (le chagard enchainé).
If you find a place where the full book PDF is available please let me know!
Copy pasting text to translate is way easier than reading the book and typing it out. -_-

Probably only one in the State as well.

Surprisingly not!

(Salut, mon ami, mais le français n'est pas ma langue maternelle non plus:)).

I'm going to look into it, and apply liberal amounts of Google-Fu. Worst case scenario, I'd need to skip that purchase;).

Somebody should lure Benoist back.

I can get a good deal on Roquefort...

Any luck?

I've been reading some more in between being insanely busy with GenCon prep, and damn this is gonna be fun for the right group.
I say "for the right group" because I can see how fun this would be with players that don't hold back.

The setting is insanely unforgiving, violent, very Dark Ages, where power and might are right.

The concept of the Gods getting bored and incarnating as weapons so that they get to feel human passions through their bearers is a fascinating concept. I love it!

Not much, I'm sorry to say. Then again, I got distracted by Usagi Yojimbo and Iron claw, so I probably didn't search enough.

That, or it's going to become the French variant of Burning Wheel, another game I never bought because of the lack of a PDF option.
