I liked this RPG enough to get the downloadable and hard copy.
The rules basic with enough detail and chrome to make it interesting. It reminded me of The Three Musketeers, Scarlet Pimpernel, Count of Monte Cristo meet Watership Down.
The game includes lots of background material to explain the chararacter creation process. You can start as a new recruit up to veteran patrol leader. The web site has lots of free downloads; to include character creation and worksheets, equipment and weapon cards, plus other colorful markers and tokens.
Highly recommended....

I've really enjoyed this series. To make a brief summation; its The Three Musketeers meets Watership Down. The art is very good, the dialoge brief and to the point. You get enough information to make a good starting point for the creating characters with plenty of room to flesh them out.
If you have the RPG, definitely get this mini series.

Good art, limited text, which for me is no problem. Quality not quantity. Adds to the RPG.

Nice track - I love ambient music. I don't think I would have paid $3 for one track though.

If you're looking for a villain that you can jut drop into a game, here you go. A complete history of the character, plot hooks, motivations, the works are right here. If you play 4e, there are also stats and three encounters, plus more crunchy bits. If you don't play 4e, the character and hooks are developed enough that you can create your own stats.
The Desire is a scorned woman who has bootstrapped herself up to become a powerful mover and shaker in polite society. She's out to destroy the people who hurt her, as well as those like her. You can adapt this character rather easily to any setting, and dial her levels of sympathy and sociopathy up or down as needed. A great character, good hooks, good product....

I've enjoyed Aaron Acevedo's art in a number of RPG products over the years, stuff from White Wolf, Pinnacle, and John Wick's assorted imprints. It's nice to actually have an art book with some of his best work, without text or logos. Beautiful stuff.

It's surprisingly well written. Above the standard I would expect for a $2 paperback. I liked it, it was fun.

A Flames Rising Review:
I’ve only been a reviewer on da’ flames for about a scant 6 months now (my, how time does fly), but I’ve already read and reviewed some good books within that time. In one particular case however, I decided to read and review a book (Personal Effects- Dark Art) after reading a featured preview. As it turned out, this was a good book and was worth taking the leap and I told myself I would review more featured books in the future. And now I’ve recently read the featured preview of This is My Blood. This preview also grabbed me by the attention and I took another leap of faith. Was my faith rewarded?
Well before I answer this question, I feel a need to explain my review style. For those of you who’ve read my past reviews, I hope you’ve enjoyed them. If always been a philosophy and goal to make my reviews as enjoyable, including adding what I think are sometimes witty and/or silly bits of humor, sarcastic remarks, different points of view, where I am coming f...

From www.secretidentitypodcast.com:
With “Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne,” writer David Gaider adds another level of depth to the world that he helped create for the “Dragon Age: Origins” video game.
“The Stolen Throne” is set approximately thirty years before the events of the “Dragon Age: Origins” game. The nation of Ferelden has been invaded and taken over by the Orlesian Empire, whose only major resistance is a group of rebels led by the former Queen Moira Theirin. When the Rebel Queen is killed, her son Maric escapes and ends up meeting a group of outlaws. With the Orlesians on his trail, Maric and an outlaw named Loghain Mac Tir escape into the wilds and eventually meet up with the remaining rebels. Maric then reluctantly takes up his mother's cause and embarks on a mission with Loghain and his betrothed Rowan to try and gather an army to overthrow the Orlesians. Love triangles, spies, Darkspawn and epic battles area all part of Maric's journey to the throne of Ferelden.

Oh good lord. Ok, I want to know how long Johnny Nexus as been planting bugs in my gaming group! Every one of the gods (players) in this is an archetype that most gamers will have played with (and if you've ever been Lord Warrior I hope you got yours next game along!) and may find embarrassingly familiar.
The structure of the story works extremely well, flicking back and forth between the gaming group and the hapless mortals they are manipulating for their own amusement; the use of "I didn't actually DO that" moments is well judged, with a bizarre knockon effect to the game world. The potions sequence on the cliff had me giggling out loud: I would NOT recommend reading this on public transport.
This is hysterical. Just buy it....

If you're looking for a book with "fairytale endings", this isn't it. It's an interesting book, but most of the short stories are written without an obvious end. "The Quest of the Queen's Tears" is typical of these stories; if you were to tell it aloud to someone else, you'd be likely to hear a prompt of "And then...?" after you got to the end.
But if you're willing to work around that, and the somewhat archaic & flowery language, you'll find a book with interesting, original, stories. I think it's worth a read....
