This was intended to be the final review in my series reviewing the Cursed City Game and its expansions. However I found the narrative ending to the campaign so galling it forced me to alter my review. There will be some spoilers in this review but they will be clearly marked. +++Spoiler Free Review Section+++…

Crusade Absurdities – Astra Militarum
The crusade system is not a balanced one. The goal is not to create a carefully balanced experience, but to create a system for players to create stories and have fun moments. That being said, there are times when you can’t help but scratch your head at some of the design choices. Today we will…
