At Rapier's Point
 |
Ein nützliches RM-Supplement für Mantel und Degen Kampagnen. (Historisch¸ Fantasy oder auch SF) Der historische Hintergrund ist fein recherchiert¸ dazu kommen noch mehr als 2 Seiten Buch und Filmtips (in kleiner Schrift) sowie Werte für z.B. Loius XIV.¸ Shakespeare oder die 3 Musketiere. IMHO für MuDeg. Fans äußerst nützlich¸ selbst wenn man mit RuleMaster überhaupt nichts anfangen kann. [Dominik D. Freydenberger]
