trying to decide which sourcebook to get first
Posted: Wed Sep 06, 2017 2:37 am
i don't do dead reign (yet) but the main book has been very helpfull in fleshing out parts of some of my chaos earth game projects.
i'm hoping to be able to grab some of the expansions soon, and i'm trying to decide which one to get first. so i was hoping you guys could fill me in on what all some of the books cover on certain topics.
looking at the descriptions on drivethrurpg, these are the parts i find catch my attention.
sourcebook 2: dark places - from the description,
Traveling sewer tunnels, steam tunnels & other dark places.
The pitfalls and dangers of the urban underground.
one of my CE projects includes a fair bit of underground environment (pretty much every major city would have such after all, and in CE it would be a way to avoid ash and the bigger monsters), so this could be potentially useful.. how detailed does it get? or is it one of those "a couple pages and done" things?
Sourcebook 3: Endless Dead -
Weaponizing vehicles and vehicle combat rules.
this one is probably going to be low on my list, since most of the rest of the book isn't much use outside DR, but i am curious as to how extensive these rules are.. are we looking at a modernized equivalent of the old Road Hogs stuff, or is it mainly about using regular cars to run down zombies?
Sourcebook 6: Hell Followed
21 Disasters to complicate survival. Each described with damage stats, penalties and consequences. The most comprehensive information of this type ever presented! Blizzard, Earthquake, Hurricane, Tornado, Toxic Spill, Wildfire, and more.
this one isn't on PDF yet, so might have to wait a bit (don't have the budget to grab hard copies), but these seem like major helps for any of palladium's RPG's.
and i've heard it include rules for constructing drones?
