Knights of the Dinner Table Review
STEELTOWN: The Outsider Chronicles Volume One
Heraldic Game Design
Cost:
$13.95
Time is like a tree and you are able to leap from branch to branch. That is
what characters in the world of Steeltown will do. Characters are part of
a project called Outsider, a crack team of specialists which explores alternate
realities. The first stop is Steeltown, a gritty place, where corruption
rules and technology has taken an unexpected turn or two. Steeltown is made for
use with SOL: The Omniversal Roleplaying System. Characters must decide if they
have what it takes to take on gangs, syndicates, police and corrupt politicians.
Characters can be created quickly, using templates, or they can be built from
the ground up. The rules are concise and clear, the concept fascinating. Its
a gritty, intriguing fusion of the Cyberpunk and Post-Nuclear genres.
Brians Rating: Talk about true grit. This ones heavy-duty fun.
