Fantasy RPG with a sufficiently different emphasis to the norm to make it interesting. Using the AGE system is a positive step because it allows them to shift away from the D&D sacred cows which the original True20-powered system retained.

6 stars. One of the most innovative RPGs of recent times, this is one step forward in fantasy. Character-and-relationships-driven (as Romantic Fantasy is) the setting of Blue Rose stuns with a progressive world born of darkness and chaos: a second golden age sustained with one of the most beautiful societies ever depicted in a RPG. The AGE system mechanics are a wonder in simplicity and versatility, and the graphic design and artwork are gorgeous in extreme. A book in which more than a half is setting! Almost never before seen. The adventure types that are playable are nothing like the common dungeon-bashing or creature-killing so commonly found in most fantasy setting: here the name Hero acquires a meaning less legendary and out of touch, and more grounded on being someone that really helps to build toghetherness through helping and doing.

Blue Rose is a real wonder, a beautiful jewel inside the fantasy RPG genre.

Aclaro, no me leí lo del máster ni el bestiario... quero que sean sorpresa!!!

Después de aplazarlo por que la vida, la pandemia y porque ajá... al fin vamos a jugar, así que lo leí.
El mundo es complejo y amplio, las razas -especialmente los rhydan- son preciosas y únicas, la magia y el combate -ya veremos en acción-. Pero el aspecto único de las relaciones: tener relaciones sentimentales, diversas -con reglas especiales para los personajes trans- y que sean parte integral y motor del personaje!?!?!? Son elementos que lo distancian de cualquier otro juego en el mercado y que tiene leyendo fantasía romántica, para tener mi corazón AroAce listo para la aventura
