It seems like prices are insane in the US for TTG. In the UK, its RRP is £42, usually it's going around £32. It seems like the same deal with CoC.

I may try to pick up a copy of the core book on Free RPG Day if my preferred game store has a copy. I've got a friend (who actually ran Alien for me a while back) who I think is going to try to run this, but it definitely seems like the kind of thing I should have. I love Cyberpunk & I love investigative RPGs. And while it's fallen (through no fault of its own) down my list of favorite films, if you'd asked me in 1995 or even 2005 what my favorite films were, Blade Runner would have been top 5.

In my opinion, I don't feel that you are using proprietary dice correctly. When you see the Genesis or Star Wars dice, those are for sure proprietary dice. Free League dice are just the standard dice with the addition of symbols to make successes and how many and failures easier to note at a glance but you don't need em and you can always get d6's and d10s or if you play their other MY0 rpgs the d8's and d12s. I feel that a better term would be customized standard dice. (shrugs) Anyhow good review. Loved your "How ttrpg Publishers Can Increase Readability of Text" video, still sharing it and talking about it. It was just that useful to sum up something I strongly agree with. :)

I see your point! Proprietary implies "owned" and you can't copyright chance rocks. I might argue that FFG SW dice aren't even proprietary because they include instructions on how to use standard dice for their games. I'm pretty sure I remember they do?

@@RPGImaginings You know, I don't honestly recall that. I'll have to dig out my Genesis book (which is the same system) and see if that's included. I just really bounced off of the proprietary symbols dice. My explanation to another game developer about those dice was this. Ever spend time in a different country than your own? Where the language was different? Reading those dice feels similar. You are always slowed down because you are having to translate them in your head. Now for some, that comes easy but for others not so much. Which is why the military has the language test to see if you have the aptitude to go to their language schools. Genesis dice are like that. It slows down game play in my opinion having to always translate the dice into something that makes sense to the player and GM. Where as numbered dice are much simple to comprehend, you grow up playing with dice and reading the pips or numbers. Game play is much faster due to that. I spend ten years in Germany and though I become comfortable with German, I was still always translating words in my head into English and that was an easier one because English is a Germanic language. heh.

Why do a review if your not going to show the components...and from the sound of it, your not much of a fan to begin with. Going elsewhere as I'm not going to waste my time watching a video that doesnt at least show the components.

But you had the time to leave an aggressive comment? Interesting. FYI, some of us in the review community have principles. Meaning, that we deliberately don't show off the entirety of a product so that folks will actually buy the product to see it. But, ya know, if someone doesn't have principles they just show the whole thing, costing companies sales. Ugh, wait a second. I just wasted my time on this comment. Eh. C'est la vie!
