Residuum
Publisher: D Clef Games
by Tom W. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 11/05/2020 03:18:18

Post-Apocahantas Dystopian Scifi complete with subfactions of natives accepting new normal, rejecting new normal or dying in droves due to either infighting or the diseases the colonists brought with them. The colonizers are not well fleshed out but they are real guilty about all this. Every part of the setting seems truncated, perhaps so that you can flesh it out, yourselves. I would love to see more details on the setting in future sourcebooks. Right now, the game has enough detail to get you started, if you're creative.
The system is pretty light but with enough substance to support it's mechanics and character creation is marvelously easy. Jumping in and understanding it would hardly be an effort for experienced roleplayers and new players wouldn't have to spend months learning fine details and esoteric mechanics.

Thank you for the great review, Tom. That's exactly what I was going for. I wanted to keep the setting open and allow GMs to create whatever they wanted. The basic setting is implied through the character class narratives, the journal entry in the beginning of the book, as well as the character creation section for each race (Human, Mutant, and Bellati), but the GM will be required to fill in the details. I am always changing prewritten campaigns to fit with my group's style anyway, so it's just my personal preference to leave out those specifics; I'd rather just do it myself. If you are a brand new RPGs I don't think you could hop into Residuum and just play. But for anybody that has run a campaign or built a world, this game should feel like a comfortable transition with lots of freedom. Plus, I did include some world building tactics (complete with idea seeds) in a chapter for GMs, so you will have some tools at your disposal. Thanks for the purchase, and I hope you enjoy!
