Tastes Like Phoenix finally has

Tastes Like Phoenix finally has another new review up. This is a cool site with some good gaming articles which went into a coma shortly after I discovered it. The nice thing about their reviews is that they aren’t really aimed at people who ask themselves “should I buy this book?”: They’re aimed at people who ask “well, I bought this book, what on Earth do I do with it?”.

The new review is of Harlequin, an 8 adventure campaign set for Shadowrun. It’s fascinating to read even if you don’t play Shadowrun or ever intend to. It’s aimed squarely at a GM and explains how to run those 8 adventures, what parts are weak, what can go wrong and how to fix any problems before they occur. Along the way, it’s a lesson on adventure plotting and the handling of encounters and NPCs.
