Great illustrations and arrived safely and securely packed.
The book looks great, a lot of great content inside that I think I can use elsewhere, and I love the illustrations.
The issue I have is in how this was packaged, as my entire order arrived damaged.
This definitely doesn't sound like it meets our standards! Reach out to support@tabletopbookshelf.com and we will work to make it right.
Very high quality printing. Excellent source of information. Just a fun book for the price.
First thing is that this edition is printed with quality paper, and includes ALL of the short stories originally printed by Chambers. Many of the copies for sale online are only the first four.
Secondly, the annotations are very useful for helping to understand nuance and time specific references that apply to the late 20th century, but don't really register with contemporary readers.
And lastly, this version of existential horror is so unique for the genre despite being on of the very first. I cannot recommend this book enough to anyone who enjoys unsettling journeys into madness.
Well constructed hardcover, nice layout, easy to follow game loop workflows, interesting tables and concepts. The only thing missing are removable character sheets.
Moon Rings was a lot of fun to play and included a lot of twists and turns, literally! It's really simple to pick up and the directions are well-written and easy to follow. Junk Food Games does an excellent job of creating a macabre world through expertly written prompts and vivid descriptions. The minimalist graphic design is perfect as it lets your imagination run wild every time you turn over a card. While I ultimately succumbed to the blood moon, the rogue-like gameplay makes it easily replayable.
Very well done addition to the Perils & Princesses lineup.
Fantastic book! I love the world building and relatively intuitive rules.
Lovely books, well put together. I've already been reading the PDFs before the physical books arrived so I'm very excited to get started!
This is one of my absolute favorite RPG books I’ve read because it is pure art and creative inspiration. Every page is just story idea after story idea leaping off the page like lightning sparking your brain. The art and spark tables are perfectly evocative, creepy, and strange with nothing extraneous. These spreads grab you by the shoulders and beg you to use them in your game.
And the spells … oh my, the spells. This is what magic should be. Strange, chaotic, and oh so dangerous. So many of the spells have no clear utility, but they inspire me to imagine how I could find a way to use it to my advantage as a desperate character in a horror game grasping for any tool to give me an edge.
I am not particularly a Radiohead fan and have not played horror RPGs before, and that didn’t affect my enjoyment at all. This inspired me to look into the rules of liminal horror, and I can’t wait to run 3 sessions or so based on this.
Every RPG book should be more like this. I want less exhaustive rules text telling me what I can’t do and how to adjudicate climbing a tree. I want material that inspires me and my friends to play a session that surprises us at every turn and we never would have imagined.
Buy this book immediately.
Fantastic little book. Someone probably should have told the editor that hyperlinks don't work in physical copies. Otherwise a wonderful little system for solo play.
It's amazing! I even got one as gift for a friend! It's such a great game.
This was my first solo game and it’s a great one to start with!
I played as myself, on the verge of marriage, and quickly had to imagine and play as our future children and further generations (imagine trying to name your granddaughter-in-law who doesn’t exist yet!).
No drawing abilities necessary. I played with pencil but I recommend using at least a pen for easier tracing.
A really fun, rules light game that still allows you to expand on contract in the world as much as you want. The book itself is really cool and fun; the art is great!
Such a fun little game. Got the chance to play this with some friends and we all had a wonderful time. This will now be a recurring game at my table!
