My Life As A Gamer: The Pundit Reviews "Terror In The Streets"

The Pundit returns with a product review, this time of James Raggi's "Terror in the Streets" for Lamentations of the Flame Princess.

James loves himself some historial weird fiction--think of Solomon Kane's weirder tales--and he's got a thing for the Early Modern period. This adventure continues that trend, and this time you're running around a (somewhat simplifed) 17th Century Paris to deal with weird things and puissant threats to the status quo.

Raggi's clearly into this stuff, which is why he dominates this specific slice of adventure gaming now that Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play is moribund and hard to find, and it shows in the quality of his products. Raggi also can't help being a sly wink-and-nod hipster, which is a clear turnoff to people wanting clean technical writing in ther product user manuals- and that's what tabletop RPG products are.

That's all I can add to what the Pundit said. If you're interested, the game's linked above and you can buy the adventure in PDF and print (in a bundle) here.
