I'm really enjoying this - its scratching my Game of Thrones itch and the interior artwork is just fantastic. It reads more as a history than a story and its a welcome change of pace.

I'm stunned by how much I'm finding out about this movie, stuff I didn't know or realise. This is a superb book and I'm flabbergasted that I've not read this until now.

Up to yet this has been an excellent read - I thought it might be difficult to dramatize a boardgame in a book but Roberts has taken the idea and run with it, the story is pretty good and the action is suitably gruesome.

I'm really enjoying it.

So far this adventure is a lot of fun. It feels like a proper old-school gamebook and the story seems a good one, if I could get any further into it without becoming a cropper.

However, I LOVE the system. It's nice and neat and would make a great mini RPG. It's a shame there were no other books, it could have given Fighting Fantasy a challenge, but sadly I think gamebooks are of their time.

I'm enjoying the book, the Semova sisters are great characters, but right now we're just following the sister's journey and always seem to be teetering on the edge of a huge reveal. I hope it's worth it.

What a cracking opening chapter - this is really good stuff.

#zweihander #wfrp - Wow - this book is heavy going and even with my previous - and rather extensive - knowledge of how Warhammer FRP works there's still loads in here that's making me smile like a loon.

It's been a cracking book up to yet and, even though I've had to do some page flipping and rules re-reads, it's been pretty solid. So looking forward to running this.

Every time I sit down to read this book I need two mates and a forklift truck to get it on my lap, it's huge.

I'm really enjoying what I've read up to yet. It really takes me back to classic early RPGs when the design values went right up through the roof. It's a gorgeous book and you really feel like you've got a whole world in your hands. Can't wait to take it for a spin.

It's good, but feels more like a western than a fantasy novel - it has all the tropes.

Pretty standard epic fantasy fair up to yet, but it's an intriguing concept. Can't help but get this Dragon Age/Game of Thrones vibe from it, but it's pretty good so far.

Frostgrave is quickly becoming my new favourite fantasy setting. Iove the quick bursts of energy in these little snapshots of a lost city. I'm considering using it for my next RPG campaign, and with a little modding I might even use the Frostgrave rules for it.

Pretty good so far. Artwork is really nice.

This is a cracking book. I thought I was clued up on the history of RPGs but I'm learning a hell of a lot!

Superb pair of books - this is truly satisfying my ALIEN needs but it makes me yearn for someone to stand up and be brave enough to make a 1970s style lo-fi sci-fi flick.

Almost finished - this book is excellent!

Time to dive into some Pathfinder fantasy. Big fan of Stackpole so eager to see what he gives us here!

This is a great book - the thought of being so insanely rich that nothing is unattainable must have crossed the minds of every person at some stage in their lives, and this book addresses that and other aspects of total wealth that may not have been considered. Really enjoying this book, and not at all what I expected.

Yeah... not a great start, and right now I'm somewhat unimpressed. Feeling a little let down, I even watched Blade Runner right before to prepare and maybe I should not have done that.

It's a cracking book - there's plenty of great material in here and the wierd west is certainly an interesting place.

Excellent book - really enjoying some of these stories. I'm not a master of Steampunk so this is my first proper foray into the literature of it, but this is really good.

Really good - good mix of creepy and mysterious.

Almost finished. Bloody good book, and I usually dislike game tie-in novels.

Up to yet, this book is superb.
