As always, to stay objective I will be following my rules for these reviews.
Children of Midnight: Coven Quickstart
PDF. You get six files with this:
- GM Session Notes
- Quickstart Consent Form
- Starting Undertaking
- Quickstart GM Cheat Sheet
- Children of Midnight Coven Quickstart Grimoire
- Children of Midnight Coven Quickstart v1.3
In order, the GM Session Notes are exactly that, a form for recording sessions. The Consent form is similar to others I have seen before. Green, Yellow and Red indicators on what all the players think on various topics. Starting Undertaking is a three page document with an overview/background on the game rules and the world. Quickstart GM Cheat Sheet is a 6 page PDF with various guidelines and rolls used in the game. Children of Midnight Coven Quickstart Grimoire is a colorful 2 page character sheet.
Children of Midnight Coven Quickstart is the game proper. This is a 40 page PDF. It uses a system called Forged in the Dark that I am not entirely familiar with. The authors are Gavin and Áine Moore. For 40 pages there is a lot of material here. The font is a little small, but I can put this on a larger monitor than what I am using now.
There is an absolute ton going on in this game. There is lore. There are detailed NPCs with photos and social media. I honestly feel I need to do some more research into this game before I can even properly review it. So since this is a quickstart, I feel a quicky review right now is good. But really there is a lot of promise here.
To get a better feel I'll certainly need to play it, but I like what I am seeing so far.
