Very thorough RW review at reviews from R'lyeh

It's kind of a run-through of the game mechanics and Action Table. Seems to be praising GG for not just resurrecting a classic RPG (Timemaster) but also building upon the system and offering something new (Rotworld).

Interesting review, and overall positive. The reviewer commends GG's desire to apply a beloved system to new genres. So we've got survival horror and time travel. What role-playing sub-genre deserves an Action Table treatment next? :mrgreen:

/raises hand

I've got something half-way designed using the Action Table -- an RPG genre that has not yet been addressed in RPG-dom, that I'm aware. And it fits in perfectly with the old Pacesetter "clandestine group correcting what's going wrong behind the scenes"-type setting ala Timemaster and Chill. It's a genre that has exploded recently, but no one's done anything with it.

(It's also why I asked this question over in the Timemaster forum...)

I plan on giving this a general design "push" over the summer.

I've got some stuff in the pipeline; too early to announce just yet.

@sniderman: Drop me a line with what you have in mind.
