karohemdGot my copy of Cartoon Action Hour today, an RPG by Cynthia Miller and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eddyfate.
Ever wanted to play in one of those cartoon series from the 80s (Masters of the Universe, Brave Starr, She-Ra, Transformers etc.)? This is the game for you.
A simple and effective system that concentrates on story and action (and uses a D12!) and loads of info on characters and their abilities. A full campaign set is included as well so can get started straight away. And obviously it contains rules for creating a game background from your favourite series.
The game doesn't take itself seriously and it's quite clear how much enthusiasm the authors have put into it. For a small independent game, it's quite high production quality and the art ranges from adequate to superb. At 17 quid, you can do a lot worse than buying this book.
And the best line: "Just say no to cheese!"
If only I could get my hands on videos of Captain Future, my favourite cartoon series, then I'd write a series sheet for it. It's most likely pretty much unknown in the English speaking world, being a German/Japanese co-production based on the novels by Edmond Hamilton. It was the typical hero in shining (power) armour but with some very interesting story arcs and themes.
So, when will a Karrgor action figure be available? ;o)

Wooo!
Date: 13/4/03 07:41 am (UTC)On searching a bit last night, I realized they were showing it on German cable TV again. Damn, if I had known earlier, I could have asked a mate to tape them all.

*envy*
But I had a white "ray gun" that made electronic noises and looked almost like CF's :oP
Past Kindergarten for me, I definitely was in school already...
Now I can't remember what the blonde bimbo and the floating brain were called... Help!

BTW, is it running on German TV at the moment? If yes, could I be cheeky and ask you to tape it for me? I'm sure we can find something in exchange :o)

Date: 14/4/03 05:44 am (UTC)a) It is on Tele 5, which I don't get in Berlin;
b) I don't have a video recorder; and
c) It is probably on at a time when I would be at work anyway.
Apart from those minor glitches... ;)
Maybe someone else in Germany, with the necessary pre-requisites would oblige?
