The Between
The Between es un juego de rol sobre un grupo de misteriosos cazadores de monstruos en el Londres victoriano. Estos descubren la existencia de amenazas horribles en la ciudad y llevan a cabo investigaciones, o «cacerías», para neutralizarlas. Con el tiempo, se percatan de las maquinaciones de una mente maestra criminal que, en ocasiones, está conectada con las amenazas y que siempre está urdiendo la caída de la corona. Los cazadores se verán forzados a vérselas con esta mente criminal para salvar el país.
The Between se inspira directamente en la serie de TV Penny Dreadful, pero también bebe de las historias clásicas de terror británicas, las obras de sir Arthur Conan Doyle, la prensa de la época pulp y La liga de los hombres extraordinarios.
The Between es un juego Powered by the Apocalyse, lo que significa que sus mecánicas están inspiradas, en parte, por Apocalyse World de Vincent y Meguey Baker. También es Carved from Brindlewood, es decir, que las mecánicas y procedimientos de los misterios se inspiran en Brindlewood Bay.

"Rigid" is the word I would use to describe this game.
It seems rigidly derivative of Penny Dreadful, to the point that it seems almost impossible to have a game without characters who seem like fanfic modifications of Penny Dreadful characters.
It seems like game sessions are rigidly structured, contrived steps that undermine the PBTA-native feel of "playing to find out" what happens.
It seems rigidly limited in the kinds of events that can occur in a game.
it seems rigidly liminted in how characters develop, too.
Almost everything about it seems rigid, and it doesn't appeal to me much at all.
Maybe all those seeming things are flexible in some way I haven't yet discerned, but I doubt it.

So much to say, so little words to properly describe all my emotions for this game.
It's just SO GOOD!
