Lady Blackbird

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 27, 2009, 5:42 AM
Usually I'm not the kind of person who would advertise things unrelated to art here, but I just stumbled upon this roleplaying game, and I found it simple and brilliant. A playtest will be done pretty soon. Suffice to say that I have never stumbled upon a steampunk rpg (which is a setting I totally love) which was also a good game per se. I've always encountered bad, incoherent rules settings, or old style crap where you have rules that make you roll dice when you blow your nose, all at GM's discretion. Since I'm really tired of that kind of games, I don't even consider them anymore.
So while I was looking for another thing, I stumbled upon this Lady Blackbird, which is a scenario rpg where all you need is to read the 15 pages it is made of. Yeah, most people are still used to the idea that 300 pages rulebooks are normal, which is totally wrong, also because that kind of rulebook never tells you how to play, and the GM is above the rules. Disfunctional, to say the least. You only see that in rpgs, never in, say, chess or poker. If you need to break the rules to enjoy a game, then the rules aren't good, it's just that much easy.

Ok, back to Lady Blackbird. So it's steampunk, it's only 15 pages and it's free, so ain't it worth a try?

Realy nice work m8,though I would make one comment. You skill is good but you seem to have a bit of a thing about drawing women with obsenly large boobs. Yes its funny sometimes but egnoring how 14 year old boy it is its not realy charicter apropriot. For one thing they would realy get in the way of all your lovly warrior women, and secondly these women would have spent thier whole live traing, is so then they would be completly flat chested like gymnasts and other sports women.

They will look tuffer and harder, but still be very phemanin if you just give them a sugestion of breats, rather than lumps of fat that could nock a man unconcious from a meter away.
