Bruce Nesmith

I feel a little guilty giving this a 3, instead of 4 stars. I have a great personal affection as I played this soon after it came out with one of my favorite characters. But, as the most detailed rendition of Azalin's tower it came off as a bit lackluster. The plot, and culmination of Hyskosa's Hexad is critical in understanding the history of 2nd edition Ravenloft. But again, the majority of the space is devoted to Azalin's tower and it's a bit lacking. As rich as Ravenloft lore can be, I show more would have expected to see more hints to Azalin's history both on Oerth and Darkon. show less

Mischief Maker by Bruce Nesmith is a Norse Mythology book based on Gods and Wars. I have never read any Norse Mythology books before it. I was quite fascinated, how the author has penned down every detail about Gods and their rule. In all the stories which I have heard earlier about Loki were a different tale telling. But, in this one the author has written it from Loki's point. I really enjoyed the book. It was worth a read. The climax is also a bit on the different side.

I would award 4 show more stars to the book. Thanks to Book Review Crew for providing me an opportunity to read the book.

An excellent supplement to gaming in the Ravenloft setting. This includes psionics, secret societies, and flavor concerning what life is like in teh Ravenloft.

A faithful conversion of the movie _2010: The Day We Make Contact_ into TSR's Star Frontiers RPG. Officially licensed movie tie-in from MGM/UA. Sketches out the plot and flow of the movie with enough uncertainty and flexibility such that you can turn it into your own story (mostly) without much work. Comes with full size foldout maps of both the USS Discovery and UNCOS Leonov ships. Tries to sketch out the Cold War-era political tensions of the time but falls a little flat in that regard; show more additionally, the last few generations of tabletop gamers might not understand that. show less
