Quote from: arcanuum;1127831I really hope that it works with the Black Streams Solo Heroes rules. Do any of you think it does?

I haven't fully read the game, but it should still work with little if any adjustments. I'm more familiar with Scarlet Heroes, but I know that game was based on Black Streams. Importing stuff like the Fray Die should be no problem.

Also, the Drivethru page for Wolves lists among its features, "Full compatiblity with Stars Without Number: Revised edition, with guides for mixing content between the games."  SWNR (at least the full/paid version, not sure about the free version) includes a "Heroic Characters" chapter, which in turn has a "Heroic Combat" section, which is basically a compact re-statement of Black Streams: Solo Heroes.  So you should be fine.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1127825I wouldn't be averse to getting a review copy of this. I'd be interested to see how dark-ages-authentic it is.

Do you only review physical copies?
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

Any updates on those that have purchased this new one by Kevin?  Would like to read any opinions, particularly session reports/reviews/snapshots.
Any comment I add to forum is from complete boredom.

I ordered a hard copy a while back.
It's not arrived yet unfortunately.
It takes AGES for Drivethru books to arrive in Australia...

It is too bad that they don't use a local printer, as lulu does, or least the last I heard lulu did for AU.  Does Amazon's POD service use local printers in Australia?  I hope there is that option too for some books.  Wolves of God is not an inexpensive item, and AU shipping!  Big spender. ha  Hope it arrives soon.

One little edit and it applies to me as well.

I'm actually really looking forward to diving into the game.

The historical period it is set in really does allow many of the "Fantasy Adventurer" tropes that people love to play in their normal elf-games.

You can go from Farmer, to Warrior, to King. Female warriors, etc...  And all within historical verisimilitude.

One could do a lot worse than to study the early medieval era when creating a fantasy world from the ground up.

I sprang for the fancy-pants offset print version. Should arrive some time in June.

I've gone through it and really like what I read. I doubt my group will ever go for it, though, as it's not the usual high-powered stuff they're into. Combat is deadly, healing is slow, and if anything fights are to be avoided since characters can't shrug off injuries like in a lot of other D&D-esque games. There are a number of setting-specific rules like gifting, wyrds, and how the classes work that keep WoG from feeling too much like regular D&D.

I fully plan on raiding the GM tools for some of my other games, as is par for the course with just about anything Sine Nomine puts out.

I like it for the materials it gives me for Stars Without Number.

God I love that game.

What sort of materials are transferable? Please!
