It's already a crazy time for me with RPGs, with very little time, and THREE campaigns vying for some spotlight.
Let's add one more, I can dig it.
Spirit of '77 is a high-speed, low drag RPG of 70s pop culture and the slew of media, good and bad that was generated from it.
Do you want to know kung-fu? Done. Blaxploitation heroes? Damn Straight! A bunch of honkies with fast cars, big trucks, and amorous primates? Awww yeah!
I've been listening to a number of actual plays of the games and interviews with the designers and I'm this close to snagging a hard copy of the rules.
Apparently the Powered by the Apocalypse Engine is criticized by it's "yes, and..." approach. I'm more of a "yes, but..." GM, and I'm a bit leery where the rules emphatically state the Players roll all of the dice, but I am a fan of any system which can start a campaign of random PCs with the DJ (Gamemaster) asking, "So..... just to clarify.... who stole the beer truck?"
Plots and role-playing can be just as awesome or awkward as you remember 70's movies being. There's a lot of potential for any play style you want, The Good, The Bad, and the Groovy.
More to come, hopefully!
