We are entering the last week of this hashtag thingy bob. The home straight so to speak.

Here is today’s words scrambled up into nonsense.

One thing I recently found out was that the four books that make up “The End of the World” RPG books by FFG were “based on El Fin del Mundo, an RPG line originally created by Álvaro Loman and José M. Rey for Edge Studios.”

I have two out of the four books available, Alien Invasion and Zombie Apocalypse.

I’m tempted by the Revolt of the Machines. But the Wrath of the Gods doesn’t grab me. Although having the set does appeal to me. However one major obstacle to this is the fact that these books are “between printings”. Which means that if you can locate a copy they go for a premium.

It’s funny that these books may have been transferred to Edge Studios as part of the Asmodee restructuring of FFG, and the moving of the FFG RPG stuff to Edge Studios. Who it would appear are the RPG power house for the Asmodee empire now. Although nothing has been said about these books and whether they will be getting a reprint.

What attracted me to these RPGs was first the themes. I love the apocalyptic setting, and that these focus on one particular cause of that apocalypse, such as zombies or aliens. From there we get four different scenarios that each give a different set of events that caused that scenario.

Finally I love that the system is a rules light d6 system, where the players play themselves in whichever town you all live in. I love, love that a players starting equipment is the stuff they have on them at the table or can find in the room they are playing in when the session starts.

I’m glad these got translated into english and hope that Edge Studios keep them around.
