That doesn't even qualify as OSSR.

That's a "let's send Frank a case of mead and a pdf I need some joyful hate in my life" request.

I'd like to request 7th Sea. It's where John Wick went after he was done with L5R, and oh boy is it not good.

The L5R card game's been reviewed before, but has the RPG been reviewed?

How do we not have an OSSR for WW's Street Fighter game yet?

Has RIFTS been done yet?

Various RIFTS (TM) books have been done, but I don't think the core game has. Although there have been enough "This is why RIFTS (TM) is bad" posts over the years.

I could review RIFTS (TM), or Ninjas and Superspies (TM), and possibly even Nightbane (TM) (I can't remember if I have that book), but the fact is typically I start these things, lose interest and never complete the review.

Edit: I looked through my pile of old (very old) Palladium (TM) books, and can't find a Nightbane (TM) one. So it's possible I used to own it but lost it/threw it away when moving. It's also possible it's stashed away in storage or something. It's also possible I never owned it. The source of confusion could be that I do have a few RIFTER (TM) issues, and most of those have *some* kind of support for Nightbane (TM), and I have RIFTS (TM): Dark Conversions, which has rules for creating a Nightbane (TM) character in RIFTS (TM).

Slayers hasn't been done yet? Huh. Cast my vote in for that one, the magic system is bonkers.

Can we get an Aberrant review? I've heard about this game being shit, but I've never been able to find a single copy of the book or see a single game run online.

I, too, would like to see Slayers be OSSR'd.

I have the pdfs and have played in Aberrant games, I suppose I can take a stab at it.

If'n you can put up with my flaky scheduling I'd love to try and tag team it - That's from back in the era when I had friends of friends gainfully employed at WW, and flipping through the book, I see that both Gator and Doc Blue have playtest credits.

I beg someone, anyone, to review Katanas & Trenchcoats. I received a copy last night from Epimas and laughed myself sick. Is this parody actually playable, even fun, or is it merely a very pointed and on-target mockery of everything World of Darkness-y and Highlander-ish?

In a similar spirit to the 'oMage vs. newMage' thread, I would adore a WtA vs. WtF OSSR. Mostly because I would love to see a review with the definitive Frank anti-dogfucking rant.

I have started reviewing N&S, you may begin worshipping me if you think that's appropriate.

Also I agree that we really need White Wolf's Street Fighter game reviewed. Complete with mentions of it being fucking racist (I know, "it's White Wolf") and the awful art.
