Review of Crushed: The Doomed Kitty Adventures


Goto [ Index ]
OK, here's the short of it.

"Crushed" is about 5 web pages of content and a new 4 page comic story, with an adventure tacked on for good measure printed in a 32 page comic book format that should have cost about 4 bucks.

The long of it.

The background is minimal, not describing the lands, the gods or the races (They suggest you make up your own stats for them). Being a fan of the cartoony "Crushed" I was disappointed about this. They list the stats and history of the main characters, bad greyscale merging of the text and artwork makes some of this unreadable. They include a map - huzzah - too bad they didn't include descriptions of what was on it.

The comedy spells were just right for the setting, as were the magic items. Things like "the ring of the Squirrely" and the spell "rain of Fish" definately belong as do the monsters "spitters" and "dregs." However you think they could have used non stock artwork for the adventure (from supermegatopia). Speaking of the adventure, its an OK dungeon crawl with death in every room. Since you always come back, this isn't too much of a problem. It will probably cause your less tenaciuous players to wring their GM's neck after the third or fifth time they have to walk back to the dungoen naked and without weapons.

The only redeeming quality I found about the bopok was the reference to the Tegel(?) Manor adventure I was forced to play while I was much younger. Yes, burning down that house would have been far simpler, but you don't tend to get XP's if you do that.

Anyway, this product would have been better served up as a web page, or failing that, it should have been delayed until they could have put in enough material to make up a decent sized book that cost a reasonable amount of money.
