The CARNEL HomePage
http://carnel.sdf-eu.org/carnel/index.html
I have decided to start experimenting with a new webzine. It's called Thee Rapture. And I think it is an attempt to create a low maintenance site using some of the existing carnel. Infrastructure to do something like the Sauvage zines I produced last year. Oh check me out, I'm finally updating the front page. Despite appearances there was actually some progress in carnel. The 2008 bundle represents Issues 36 to 38 and a copy of Les Sauvages #1. Carnel Preview Column: The New Flesh.

An RPG preview and review blog that features updates and comments about new roleplaying products. Monday, January 05, 2015.

The New Flesh: Showdown
http://carnel-reviews.blogspot.com/2014/12/showdown.html
An RPG preview and review blog that features updates and comments about new roleplaying products. Thursday, December 11, 2014. Showdown is a game for two players that uses a split set of scenes that are played out simultaneously. The main frame for the game is a duel between two characters. The duel is somewhat abstract, in that it might be two aviators clashing above the trenches or simply a literal duel with swords, the key point is that only one of them is going to survive the duel. The player with in...

The New Flesh: September 2014
http://carnel-reviews.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
An RPG preview and review blog that features updates and comments about new roleplaying products. Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Robin Laws, talented games designer though he may be, is the Doctor Frankenstein of game design. Stitching elements of traditional gaming and story games together into a resulting rules system that seems to please enough people to make it worthwhile continuing to produce them but not enough to have people praise them. And even Rogue Trader. World now and we don't have to put up w...

The New Flesh: July 2014
http://carnel-reviews.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
An RPG preview and review blog that features updates and comments about new roleplaying products. Sunday, July 27, 2014. This Fate-powered game from Evil Hat. And atomic-powered robots. It combines Evil Hat's pulp obsessions with a new universe that introduces us to scientists who approach physics as Indiana Jones approaches archaeology. The game also serves as a pretty good introduction to Fate or a way of moving from more mainstream games to a looser narrative-style game. Sunday, July 13, 2014. I picke...

The New Flesh: Juggernaut
http://carnel-reviews.blogspot.com/2015/05/juggernaut.html
An RPG preview and review blog that features updates and comments about new roleplaying products. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Is the latest Jason Morningstar game (Durance, Fiasco) and is a card-driven American freeform in the style of Out of Dodge. The players take on the roles of the team members trying to run the first trials of Juggernaut. The play is generally freeform but the requirement on the players is to find out how Juggernaut's predictions become true. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The New Flesh: Class Warfare
http://carnel-reviews.blogspot.com/2014/12/class-warfare.html
An RPG preview and review blog that features updates and comments about new roleplaying products. Tuesday, December 23, 2014. The technical analysis of how DungeonWorlds class playbooks work is excellent and worth a read for anyone interested in game design (particularly of DungeonWorld playbooks) and the relative merits and flaws of DungeonWorld in particular. With that done the book then moves onto an example new playset and illustrates how the book is to be used to construct new character classes.

The New Flesh: February 2014
http://carnel-reviews.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
An RPG preview and review blog that features updates and comments about new roleplaying products. Sunday, February 09, 2014. I backed Tremulus on Kickstarter so I had access to the PDF version of the game for a while, although the print copy turned up last year I've struggled to formalise my feelings on it. I didn't find the PDF that accessible and was hoping, like a lot of games, that the ideas would be easier to absorb on the written page. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to the New Flesh. Column wh...
