Absolutely love this. I'm a big fan of colored character sheets (keeps my attention easier than looking at B/W), so seeing this available was a blessing. Great work!!

A Thousand Sweet Kisses
by Andrew K. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/27/2022 20:58:18

This adventure is short, simple and to the point which for a starting adventure is just great. For newly awakend rifts and mcs this is a good starting adventure. Not to mention there is said to be more connected adventures on the horizon

Facing the Music
by Andrew K. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/27/2022 21:35:37

A great vase where nobody is the good guy. Also a classic use of a fairly standard myth (Oied Pipper) with him being a saxaphone player with a great Danger Profile. I will put a trigger warning for dealing with themes of suicide. Apart from that this case is fantastic and me and my players loved it

Danger Workbook
by Andrew K. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/06/2022 12:26:46

This is a great product. The danger profile templates are great at being clear and organized while breaking it all down to the bear minimum. Still it provides enough of a blank slate for anyone to just write down iedas.

That said I do find there is an issue with calculating stars, maybe a cheat sheet somewhere that explains what moves and abilities will add stars and how much. I do think that is an issue here.

Apart from that this product is really solid and super useful.

Orihime Tsukimori: City of Mist Avatar Profile and Case
by Andrew K. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/04/2022 03:45:59

I will be honest when I saw the artwork, heard the concept and concept I really felt like this wouldn't work with City Of Mist. That said when I looked at the actual operation this Avatar works so well. They use a great metaphor for chasing unrealistic dreams, not fulfilling dreams and the behind the scenes unethical business of the entertainment industry. The theme of anime V tuner is supper fitting.

I also love the use of a Japanese folklore princess instead of like a god or spirit monsters. This work for each of the other rifts including fairytale and other folklore. The danger profiles are fitting for each character and are quite interesting each.

Thank you so much for those kind words! One of the things that I love about City of Mist is how it uses mythos and stories to relate to Avatar operations and its impact in human society to give a tangible mastermind. With entertainment being rampant as a force for both good and evil, I wanted to put it into writing with Orihime Tsukimori while giving it a realistic take with how unethical some practices are in the industry. Thank you so much for supporting me, and I hope that you and your players love the Dangers, the Case, the pregen character, and the Avatar just as much as mine did!

The City in Twilight
by Andrew K. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/04/2022 00:19:29

This district is fantastic. The environment and district feels very atmospheric and yet relatable as this is a giant magic park. The park also is based on the Norse tree and it describes this theme well including the fact that the park is needed for the city to sustain itself, city's need Parks for people to not go insane. This district really feels that this place is somewhere else entirely and has it's own residents. The factions are great with the main one being based on Norse mythology and trying to keep the park alive. The other is also Norse but they want to destroy the park, the city and create Ragnarok. The best however is a faction that's actually Egyptian Mythos and they want to twist the park to their Mythos Instead and fundimentally changing the entire city. The leaders of each faction is fantastic and have their own danger profiles.

The danger profiles are very interesting and fitting. They range from magic killer termite swarms, Besearkers, Egyptian Warriors and even a man with magic shows. The park can include other Mythos from other books including the Night Line, Airship Coyotes, and Piotor The Rat.

The only thing I would add however would be some inclusion of fey or other nature spirit Mythos. Things like a Dryad Gardner, Creepy Witches lead by Baba Yaga, A Shakespeare concert hall that's an enclave of "A midsummer Night's Dream" that live inside the park. This does not mean that they would be innocent as many times fey would take your kids and cause misfortune on you if you anger them. Also some first Nations or indigenous Mythos would work very well having living in Canada though I fully Admit I am not indigenous I just really enjoy the culture. Overall this district is fantastic and I am planning to use it and expand it inside my own gamesThis

QUEERZ! TTRPG Demo Game
by Ron D. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/05/2021 07:04:36

This is a Powerrangers RPG without the license. And to hide that fact they replace good vs evil with gay vs ignorantl Yep ... you read that right. Like the original sin in Christian religion where everyone is seen as in need of absolution because of something that happened in the before times. In this game everyone is ignorant to some degree and only the forces of 'good' can cleanse them of their 'evil'/ 'ignorance'.

I've never read a game that tried to insult its potential audience as this one. No one ever had to write how a game about elves could be played by humans. And the few that were aware that they targeted a difficult subject ... did so without being a dick about it.

This is propaganda posing as a game that screams "to be gay is to be flaming like all the bad gay stereotypes in all the media"

So if you like your gays to be flaming then this is the game for you. If you think that the alphabet-soup people are just like you and me ... then this is not meant for you. Because instead you get insulted for not being gay enough to participate in the team. You get to be an 'ally'. Someone who doesn't get to have the cool powers that the alfabet soup team members of QUEERZ get to use.

But hey ... let's forget the setting and look at the rest. The art is perfect for a flashy gay superhero cliche propaganda leaflet with a game attached.

The rules ? It's 'powered by the apocalypse' so everything is dripping in theme. This is usually a good thing, because games with this system thrive by making everything very thematic. The problem is that it creates weird rules, because in order to 'fix' things you have to 'care' for it, which is typical of thematic PbtA games that try to have all of their cake and eat it. PbtA variants work best when they are aware of their limitations and avoid the need for moves that don't reflect the theme.

King of the Ring - A City of Mist Case
by joe z. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/21/2021 14:54:54

This is a very well made guide, and it shows. My players tend to shoot first and ask questions later but this really made them think about the decisions they were making and force them to come up with creative solutions. And when combats did occur the encounters were not only challenging, but amusing. (No spoilers but Pigsy two thumbs up)

5/5 would run this again

City of Mist: MC Toolkit
by Patryk A. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 01/21/2021 13:27:51

DISCLAIMER/BIAS/EXPERIENCE: Backer of City of Mist kickstarters. Leaving this review after publisher's request issued to KS backers. I have run one longish CoM campaign, currently running my second CoM campaign. I assume you're familiar with the basic premises of City of Mist - if you're not, read the blurbs, or better, get a starter set. NOTE: Cultural appropriation potential warning - this book is about mythoi coming back to life in a noir world. This may be a touchy thing, so GMs are advised to do their research before the game and/or reach certain level of understanding with their players.

By the way of introducing you to MC TOOLKIT, this is a gamemaster's book (NOTE: Gamemaster = Master of Ceremonies, or MC), so it expands on the basic rules, provides resources for fleshing out the setting and establishes routines specific for MC role. It also sports great layout, comic book art, great one-page summaries and an adventure. NOTE: You need PLAYER'S GUIDE for player-facing lowdown of the rules, to create characters, and building groups, evolving (escalating?) stuff and cinematographic plays. It's also a great primer on Apocalypse World mechanics. I would also recommend getting a starter set for great ready-to-run characters, yet another adventure, and beautiful handouts.

MC TOOLKIT, Table of Contents

The Master of Ceremonies - Basics of the basics, or how to read the book.

  • 8 pages

Word on the Street - Archetypical locales and locals in a city noir genre. No stats yet, it is just a bunch of short writeups of places and people. If your characters make a random stop to buy e-cigs, you can just crack open the book, say THE OLD QUARTER, read THE COBBLED STREET aloud (skipping MC-only stuff), and if the things are going slow, have the PCs meet a wounded old man complaining about thieves, who just took his books.

  • 42 pages

Behind the Scenes - A comic, a Quick Reference Sheet, a guide on running the session zero, how to use MC moves, narrating stuff and adjusting challenge level. Then it's Writing a Case (check the HIGHLIGHTS below), and then turning cases into a series.

  • 54 pages

This is my City! - Another comic, another Quick Reference Sheet, and everything you need to know about spectrums (how to damage a character), dangers (those who damage the characters), and avatars (you also get four masterminds, unique 5-star dangers that are movers and shakers to drop into your setting).

  • 99 pages

Appendices - Various resources (dangers get ratings) with page numbers. For example: House Fire is 2-star danger on page 151. Samuel Valtierra (Baron Samedi) is 5-star danger on page 160. Also included: list of backers, printouts for MC tracking sheets.

  • 10 pages

Gambling with Death - An adventure that is NOT recommended for novice players and MCs. The narrative is slightly disjointed and may be difficult to follow by not-yet-invested-in-story characters. Also there are multiple three star dangers - expect fatalities if the characters are not careful.

  • 19 pages

Maps - Useful for running scenes.

  • 4 pages

MC TOOLKIT, HIGHLIGHTS

WRITING A CASE, to me, is probably the best ever section on constructing puzzles for the PCs to unravel. It also ties into Investigate move in a way that makes running mystery scenarios such a pleasure. Here's is a short explanation.

A case is like an iceberg: visible tip (depth 0), depth 1, depth 2, ...

  • the visible tip is a list of hooks that the characters look into or encounter.
  • the depths are layered lists of locations or scenes, to which characters gain access after investigating connected corresponding items from upper layers.
  • the characters "move" between these by resolving scenes or gaining clues from locations.
  • at the bottom there is a final confrontation or a revelation.
  • since this is an Apocalypse World-inspired game, new connections may be formed or further challenges added on a fly via devil's bargains or success with complications mechanics.

While there are many ways the PCs may proceed forward, the most common way is for a character to make an Investigate move:

  • A player declares an action and what power tags (supernatural or mundane) are used to support the action. The number of tags (minus penalties) used is the POWER rating for the move.
  • If successful, a player gets to ask number of questions equal to POWER rating.
  • Based on the POWER rating, result of a roll (fuzzy, partial, compromise, full success) and the tags used, an MC presents answers. A computer jockey hacking into a mobile will get different presentation from a veteran policewoman interrogating a witness, from a possessed shopkeeper immigrant from Tibet conferring with local spiritual entities, from a destitute satanic sax hobo player who just plays and listens to people talking, from a recently released convict with a hook for his and terrifying violence just bubbling under calm demeanor [a cast of characters from my current campaign].
  • The answers unlock stuff from current and lower depths, eventually allowing to reach the solution.

QUICK REFERENCE SHEETS, just print them out. These are simply great for remembering all little bits you should be aware of.

GAMBLING WITH DEATH - the adventure is interesting, but it needs work to fit your narrative. Also:

  • At some point the characters may feel overwhelmed by the opposition and subsequently proceed to abandon the case. To avoid this, I would recommend constructing strong motivations for PCs.
  • Three-star dangers apply statuses that could wipe POWER totals (and there are four of them, with possible more joining the case). Also, the three-star dangers are not dumb - they are likely to employ guards.

In my case, the chief adversary of the adventure is going to wrong one of the PCs, so, when an opportunity presents itself, they will try to take advantage to get a little payback, only to realize that innocent people are getting involved.

MC TOOLKIT, FINAL THOUGHTS

A vitally important addition to the library of a City of Mist fan. If you have the big book already, at least get a PDF for references and maps. The case included can be mined for resources or developed into a full campaign (again, three-star dangers are complex - so proceed with caution, and use them as memorable villains). The WRITING A CASE part can be used for any mystery scenario under any system.

Five stars.
