MARKED FOR DEATH FREE
“Pai Lai”, by Chris Pramas, takes the PCs into Feng Shui’s future where they are asked to help free a site from Buro control. The twist? The gang is terrorizing the neighborhood because a demonic temple is about to materialize. In “Blood for the Master”, by Greg Stolze, the PCs are drawn into one of the great staples of HK action flicks – a gang trying to terrorize a neighborhood into submission.
The first adventured, “Brinks”, written by Bruce Baugh, gets the PCs involved in a bank robbery which is really just a cover for the seizure of a highly potent feng shui site. They are also well-balanced, taking advantage of almost all the available facets of the Feng Shui mythos to one degree or another and ranging in complexity from basic introductory to exceptionally complicated. In any case these adventures are really quite excellent. The plots will be discussed as part of the reviews and players should avoid reading this review if they feel that their GM might end up using any of these in the course of their game. In a lot of ways I feel like I’ve picked up a themed issue of Dungeon magazine instead of a supplement.Īs always this review is prefaced by the notice that these are a set of modules. The results don’t disappoint, although it’s always been difficult to get really excited about a set of disjointed adventures. It’s a pretty impressive credit list, with some of the really great creators in this industry taking part – demonstrating that the pure action-packed fun of this game attracted the best of the best.
Marked for Death is a collection of five adventures for the Feng Shui game – one written by each of the authors. You should be able to find some of these in a used box somewhere.
Although Atlas hasn’t negotiated the rights to these supplements, I figured what the hell. I thought I’d review a couple of old sourcebooks for the game (this one and also Back for Seconds) as a form of mild celebration. Tagline: With Atlas acquiring the rights to Feng Shui let’s take a look at one of the old-school supplements.Īs this review is being written I have just received news that Atlas Games has acquired the rights to the core Feng Shui rulebook, virtually guaranteeing a re-release of one of the best RPGs ever created.
