WOW! Untold is still mega-new compared to most games (we're technically not even out of our Open Playtest Phase yet) and we're already getting some really nice reviews and media exposure! That's thanks to each of you -- our uber-awesome fans who are out there, spreading the word of Untold and its awesomeness! :)
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Just yesterday, for instance, I get an email pointing me to this tremendous review of Untold! Let me quote a bit of it for ya...
[Speaking of Untold's Character Creation Rules/Mechanics] "Your attributes and skills and everything else that defines your character can be found on cards. You lay them out before you and voila, time to game. I won’t get into the mechanics in this post, but suffice it to say they are easy to grasp in a rather short time (shorter, even, than it took me to get M&M 2e under my prodigious belt). The one mechanic I will mention here that I found most intriguing was damage. Hit points, you say? Nay! As you take damage, you start losing cards. For the most part, you get to say what cards or points you lose, but this is a unique way of having damage directly affect your character. Rather than using a number system, wittling away with each punch or stab, while your character otherwise shows no effects until it drops dead when it gets to zero, the PC finds himself losing power and/or effects with each heavy hit.
And that, my friends, is awesome."
I'm not gonna tell what we got as a rating, OR what the author said about Untold in summary, BUT I can tell you that quote is headed STRAIGHT to the TESTIMONIALS PAGE!
If you want to find out now, read the review.
Also, I've been horribly lax! I must apologize!
I'm sorry...
Truly.
But, while we were at KWAKCON, we had an amazing interview posted over at Gaming Today!
I'm NOT joking - seriously... Lil' ol' Untold - on Gaming Today! Right in between Dungeons & Dragons and the Star Wars RPG!
Crazy, huh?
Oh, you want the link?
Gosh - sorry about that...
Here it is - the link to the Untold Interview on Gaming Today...
Now I guess I need to apologize again, huh? ;)
Enjoy and remember - don't let your story go Untold!
