The first thing we noticed about Prophecy? It’s a box set - a heavy one, with a robust map set and dozens of GM aids. The production values are incredible! But this isn’t just a pretty box, with pretty paper on the inside. Prophecy has a lot of great elements to recommend it, including flexible rules and a skill-based system for character advancement.

Remember the Thief series? The godfather of the “first person sneaker?” Ed does.

Another fantastic episode guys. I especially enjoyed the discussion of the rules for Prophecy and the design behind them. Keep em coming!
Erg! Can’t listen to this at work! Thief is one of the best games ever written — I’ve never been frightened
by a game before until this one (and not since)
I was sneaking around and knocked something over — the guards went bananas and killed me!
[…] details about indie RPGs (and to boldly go where no one has gone before), and this week it’s Prophecy, a boxed-set RPG in an age where boxed sets are few and far […]
Holy Schnikees!! Ultrasupermegacool episode gentlemen! The closing music reminds a little bit of Faith No More! Nice guys! Nice!
The rant was hilarious and Prophecy… Dammit! If I keep listening to these podcasts I’m going to go broke! From buying all these cool RPGs you guys pimp!
Oh _Thief_, you terrible siren. I once found out that my GM had been offered the chance to go write for Lookinglass Studios on Thief and Thief: Metal Age, but passed up because he didn’t want to try living in downtown Boston on a questionable salary.
I promptly threw my shoe at him. Then threw my other shoe. Then kicked near him.
I love that game…it even had a way to replicate it with the Unreal Tournament Engine. I may need to put it on my wishlist.
Kudos on another podcast that’s showcasing games that push storytelling and encourage expanding one’s roleplaying horizions.
