Shattered Frontier RPG
 |
By far the most deluxe western ever produced¸ this softcover tome rides into town with 400 full color pages crammed with beautiful period artwork! Yes¸ the Aces & Eights: Shattered Frontier RPG is the highest quality¸ most complete western ever marketed in the adventure game industry. Just be sure to keep plenty of tissue nearby - the drool-factor on this product is through the roof!
"First¸ there's the innovative and visual Shot Clock game aids¸ which eliminate the abstraction and complexity of other RPGs - a player can actually see the cover¸ position and location of his or her target! Of course¸ the Shot Clock game aids aren't the only innovation in the Aces & Eights game. For instance¸ the game has a new poker chip-based brawling system that solves the problem of 'temporary' damage; characters actually become winded¸ tired or knocked senseless in the fight. The realistically deadly combat supports an overall game system that rewards characters for pursuing professions¸ giving players the in-game incentives to do much more than follow the outlaw trail.
"In addition¸ the Aces & Eights RPG is the first western to not just allow¸ but focus on¸ the rest of the major western movie adventures beyond the gunfight. Prospecting¸ cattle drives¸ frontier justice¸ and so on¸ all have a complete 'mini game' system tailored for that type of adventure. In fact¸ the Aces & Eights game has over two score available professions covering the full range of possibilities in the Wild West! With no levels or classes (and only gaining experience in skills used)¸ characters can change professions at will¸ just like the Old West!
