Roleplaying games

Just got a news about a game I reviewed some time ago, “Magic Stones“. The authors have released an interesting add-on called “The Magic Shop”. What is it? in practice it allows you to spend XP and PP (prestige points) in a sort of shop to buy avatars upgrades or, more interestingly, “perks”.

The word “Perks” instantly reminds me of the great Fallout game. Indeed, perks are some “special skills” that you can unlock only in the shop, and that will give your druid extra powers like faster mana regeneration, some elements bane (for example “air bane” will decrease the stats of all opponent avatars that are air-based).

The add-on can be obtained for $4,99 which seems reasonable. I had followed the author’s thoughts about charging for each new quest, because of the amount of work involved, but I see in the end he opted for giving away yet another free quest, but charging only for this add-on.

So personally I’ve decided to buy it, also because reading his blog, he has already started working in another rpg very similar to the old classics like “Dungeon Master” or “Eye of the Beholder”… this guy needs some encouraging!
