WHPA is such a fresh slice of weirdness and wonderment! Glad you covered it, Pookie!

Well the Trope of I don't know relative dying and leaving a creepy inheritance is somewhat overused nearly 40 years into the game. But at the time of the writing of lurking fears it was still rather novel. And not necessarily overused it only been done maybe three times. Spread over a lot of stuff

Little outa date but you got the spirit! Might check it out!

Had this when I was a teenager, loved it. I still have the back of the box text memorized, lol.

Definitely would be cool to see a crowdfunder for a new edition of Jorune! (*Obviously, only if they don't cut out the guts to fill it with anti-intellectual pap, and just keep the pictures and trappings. Sad when that happens.)

Yes, that’s the same image that Zozer Games uses on the cover of Hostile Solo. I guess we both buy our art from the same stock art studio!

Never ever heard of this game, but it looks nice...and my partner loves TFTL! Also, I love the fact that as soon as you opened the board, it sounded like a Geiger counter was going off. Very thematic! 😂

Skyrealms of Jorune remains a unique touchstone of my RPG experiences, thanks for covering it.

Being a fan of many of Avalon Hil,s bookcase Wargames, Squad leader and the such, this was second rpg I ever brought. Much more detailed than D&D, it had the tendancy to produce characters that were VERY varied in power levels, great fun... though as complicated as hell for someone who'd only been suggested D&D a couple of weeks before!!! :) Great piece of nostalga, I played it as a play-by-post game about 15 years ago. It's been gathering dust in my "Attic of Angst" ever since.....along with many, many other systems... :(

I played the hell out this game when it came out. Still have it carefully preserved because I figured I'll never see it again. Can't believe you have a fresh box.

Never heard of this, don't mind the art though. Subbed to check out the review. Side note: Your video is pretty quiet. I had to turn my volume all the way up to hear you decently.

P&P always looked like a generic RPG of the time and judging on how AH published RQ it doesn't bode well.

This brings back fond childhood memories

Brilliant book. It's one of those I can't stop returning to. And I'm rather partial to the Ville Vuorela (Burger Games) RPG… although it's certainly not to everyone's taste (like Tarkovsky's Сталкер [1979] movie adaptation). My boat don't always float on the same stream, that's why it's awesome to see you unboxing this classic.

saw that book in fopp in central london....it was in the two for seven quid deal .....might give it a go

I have a couple of the Rainy City books in print. I need to pick up a copy of this one and a few others. Such a cool setting.

I’m enjoying the tv series and I’ve read a bunch of Le Carré. I will give these a look!

Nice I was just looking into buying these, Been having a bit of a Conan kick these last few weeks.

I played in a terrific session of that at LAST year's Gen Con. One of the most memorable aspects of that session was the ELEVEN critical failure rolls (four of which were mine). It's a fun setting, though!

I'm not gunna lie, it's pretty weird seeing a Benjamin Franklin impersonator reviewing a 30 year old game on youtube.

Love your vids!

Idk if it's my end or the video but I don't have audio Edit it was my end

They've also published "The Call of Cthulhu", also illustrated by Baranger. I have all four, the artwork in each book is amazing!

It's cool, but a ton of work if you build it out using the geomorphs. I cut them all out and glued them into a separate notebook, but haven't done any stocking yet. That alone is months of work.

My copy of the full rules arrived today. I look forward to your full review. Thank you for covering this obscure game! 🎉

Thank You Have just bought a Book on Occult London by Merlin Coverley. The Map would be usefull

Love WHPA, glad to hear someone else talking about it, can’t wait to back the hard cover rules and supplement collection coming out next month

Great review. I really enjoy the kinda old school black & white art style in this book. I consider buying it

Looks good

I provided art for this book AND for Three Days to Kill! Those were the halcyon days

A great adventure I'm planning on running again for a new group!

I have no idea why the algorithm recommended this to me but I've been procrastinating writing my thesis for so long TH-cam had to go and give this to me to see how far I could go

I love legos hehe

Angry elf with sideburns and named "Elvis" - must be a bard. Can we mix & match and swap parts? Wings on elf? 🧚‍♂️

Sorry i was hoping a better review

sounds like it's almost raining sideways at the Nook!

Thanks - I've gone and bought it. I was expecting something much dryer. I'm enjoying the personal reflections.

Got a question - Does this use Thac0 or does it use ascending Armor Class?

nice book .But I see many problems in your channel. If you want, I can share with you

Looking forward to seeing this at the end of the year!

I've used this a few times before in different ways, even for other games. Planning on pulling it out again soon for a solo game!

I should have asked James to keep hold of a contributor copy to send me :D

It there a modern big book of battle mats

I really want to get this, and I'd love a chance to play it, but it also looks like a great resource in general, with brilliant advice and ideas and fascinating mechanics. And right alongside it is the other one you mentioned, Ryuutama.

I preordered the full rules for this after reading the Free RPG Day adventure.

Thanks so much, Pookie!
