Even today, some 23 years later, it still has a cult following, and it<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">\u2019<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">s recently seen a revival thanks to the efforts of James Gray and the team over at Fat Goblin Games. (<i>Disclaimer: <\/i>While I DO freelance for Fat Goblin Games, I<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">\u2019<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">ve had NOTHING to do with this particular release). It is a fascinating dive into a Victorian Age Europe, and I especially like that it seems to focus more upon the European continent than the British Empire. It feels like that makes it stand out even further. The fact that you use cards (playing them as needed, with each suit having an attachment to a different stat), means that you can, at least partially, craft the narrative of the story yourself. I <b>would<\/b> highly recommend picking up the Curious Creatures expansion along with it though. That<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">\u2019<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">s because it always felt as if it could use a bestiary\/monster book of sorts, and 20 years later it finally got it. <\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji',sans-serif;\">&#x1f60a;<\/span> <span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">\u2013<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"> The Hardcover for <em>Castle Falkenstein<\/em> clocks in at $40 ($20 for the pdf or $6 if you get it with the hardcover) while Curious Creatures clocks in at $15-18 (depending on the softcover type you choose), with the PDF being on offer for $6.95 (at the time of writing. Normal price $11.95, but if you buy the books you can get it for 3).<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">4: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drivethrurpg.com\/product\/217525\/Writing-With-Style-An-Editors-Advice-for-RPG-Writers\">Writing with style: An Editor&#8217;<\/a><\/span><\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drivethrurpg.com\/product\/217525\/Writing-With-Style-An-Editors-Advice-for-RPG-Writers\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">s Guide for RPG Writers<\/span><\/b><\/a><\/h1>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Right, I<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">\u2019<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">m not going to delve too far into this one, but let me say something. IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON BECOMING AN RPG WRITER, YOU NEED THIS BOOK. It allows you to avoid some of the most common pitfalls that your editor will see in your writing, and which you can avoid. As I<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">\u2019<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">m sure both Linda and Wayne can attest, a writer who does his work properly makes for a happy editor. (Sorry you two, I know I make you work hard). <\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">\u2013<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"> This is also one of the ones that are on my OWN Christmas list, in that I have it on PDF (when it originally released there was no print version), but I want a printed version as well. (Since I both write and edit). At $9.95 ($10.95 with a pdf) it is a must-have.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">5: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drivethrurpg.com\/product\/204420\/Starjammer-Core-Rules\">Starjammer: Core Rulebook<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/h1>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><\/b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">(<i>Disclaimer<\/i>: While I do work for d20pfsrd.com publishing, I<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">\u2019<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">m not involved in the making of this book in any way, nor do I profit from its sale <\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">\u2013<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"> Over there, I handle fantasy <\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji',sans-serif;\">&#x1f609;<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">)<br \/>\nWith the recent release of StarFinder, some of the interest in Starjammer has fallen by the wayside, which I personally think is a bit of a shame. The system here is robust, and mechanically expansive (almost too expansive in some cases), and while there are flaws, the team has managed to craft a solid game, despite the number of authors. This is PATHFINDER in space, and uses the Pathfinder license, as opposed to the Starfinder license. So, for those who want to go to space in Pathfinder, this is the book for you. (It is also a steal at $29.90 for both softcover and PDF in one, as the PDF alone would normally set you back $15, while the printed version would be $24.95)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">These are my recommendations for the year.
