shumwaydg rated Absurdia

shumwaydg rated a game 3 years ago
A downloadable game.

Full disclosure, I have not actually played this game yet: That out of the way, this game is exactly what I was looking for! 

The first thing that struck me is its obvious ties to media and shows. This really helps me as a potential GM visualize the roles that my players will inhabit in the game.

 Another detail that I really appreciate is the inclusiveness of the game. The author puts in a segment about personal boundaries and player respect almost first thing in the book.  I appreciate that this is highlighted by the author. When consuming horror in media things can go sideways quick but I feel that the author is taking a proactive approached by tackling this topic head on and making sure this game stays fun for everyone. 

Lastly I have to comment on the overall atmosphere that the game creates. The game dose a wonderful job of allow the GM to tell there own story of the absurd. While I am no Joseph Fink, Jeffery Cranor, or Gabriel Urbinea; The games rules and guides do all the heavy lifting to help me as a humble GM craft a story that could have come from any of the aforementioned authors. The amount of thought that went into the writing of this system is astounding.  

In conclusion: Excellent work! I cant recommend this game enough!
