If you want the TL;DR review its good, damn good and you should go out and buy it cause everything in this zine oozes awesomeness.
The Longer, still short review.
- As the title implies, Draugr & Draculas is vampire themed. Which means if you need a big bad vampire like Dracula this is the zine for you. Burnett even gives us different possible Dracula origin stories, very cool.
- Lore & stats for the undead Draugr as well as a playable Draugr class.
- We get stats, art and a write-up for one of the most prolific female serial killers in history, Elisabeth Bathory. Also a new spell point magic system using blood.
- Dracula’s Castle, complete with a sweet map and loaded with flavor like his three brides and Burnett’s own take on horror icons like the Invisible Man, The Wolfman and more! It's also stacked full of encounters & treasure.
- A new class called the Vampire Hunter who are very reminiscent of the Belmonts from Castlevania series.
- Vampire rules and stats of course.
- The layout is simple and clean and the text is bigger for easy reading.
- Cool new magic items.
- Want to sell your soul to the devil for power? Draugr & Draculas has you covered.
- A brand new deadly dungeon called the Pagan’s Well. I remember reading Burnett’s recaps regarding the well earlier in the year and I can’t wait to run this one.
- The art, the written material is pretty dark so I like the lighter tone the art gives. Also I grew up watching Cartoon Network during the 90’s. Toons for life.
- It was written with LotFP in mind. As you all know I’m a Lamentations fanboy and I gobble up any homebrew stuff anyone makes. An automatic buy for me.(Also come back to us Joshua, we have milk and cookies.)
Draugr & Draculas is a hell of a fun read, pick a physical copy up before their gone!
&
"Spell point magic system using blood"... That sells me on it.
ReplyDeleteIt's damn cool.
DeleteThanks for the review, man! :D
ReplyDeleteNo problem. Thanks for making a cool zine. Maybe one day we'll get another LotFP one? ;D
