Blue Rose: The Age RPG of Romantic Fantasy by Jack Norris, Jeremy Crawford, Stephanie Law, Chris Pramas, Steve Kenson

5.0

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.
