I think it may be that since I was reviewing a bunch of Venger's newer (alpha blue) stuff, it felt like IN COMPARISON to those there was less obsession with smut. I don't know if you've seen those, but they have way more ridiculous sexuality than this book. But I can see how compared to something a normal person would write or read, it would seem pretty smutty still.RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-83990759993799178882018-09-14T10:36:42.068-04:002018-09-14T10:36:42.068-04:00Despite criticism, I do feel that buying/supportin...Despite criticism, I do feel that buying/supporting Venger's work I'm on the side of the angels.

I...OK, my copy just arrived, been looking through.<br /><br />I think the sleaze is really more extreme than Pundit indicates, more than in Venger's older/non-AB products. It's pretty much every line. This isn't something I could imagine running at a public RPG event. Really it feels more like something I might gut for parts, or else run a pretty heavily bowdlerised version online.<br /><br />Good thing - Gamma Turquoise does have a useable looking map; quite a few purportedly sandbox OSR products these days do not.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173759805310975320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-27604846159938708132018-09-10T14:31:29.552-04:002018-09-10T14:31:29.552-04:00Thanks for the review, hoss!
Yeah, Gamma Turquo...Thanks for the review, hoss! <br /><br />Yeah, Gamma Turquoise wasn't really supposed to be for Alpha Blue, but while I was writing it, the sleazy gonzo kept inserting itself... to the point where it was just easier to use it with Alpha Blue, than not. It makes a good pairing with Save Yourself From Hell.<br /><br />Gamma Turquoise would be perfect for a mini-campaign or to spice up another campaign setting, hex-crawl, or just random bits and pieces to fill up a home-brew world. Lots of flavor, just don't go looking for micro-managed granular detail.<br /><br />FYI, anyone who has the print version and wants the full-color, high-res maps should email me for Dropbox links!<br />Venger Satanishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447932700800930510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-5442986578409044652018-09-10T00:54:08.007-04:002018-09-10T00:54:08.007-04:00Well, GT isn't a hex-crawl either.

But regardless, if you're getting it for the setting, you probably don't need to worry about that. The Random Tables are all system-neutral, at least.
