I don’t usually pass on Kickstarter news but I ran across this one from this Limithron blog post and while this company, Firelock Games, does lots of pirate-era mini games they have a Year Zero engine WWII RPG called War Stories, there’s a kickstarter for the Pacific books right now, and here’s an actual play and a RPG.net review.
WWII RPGs are oddly rare, I have copies of old ones like Behind Enemy Lines, and of course GURPS has everything, and then you get your weird combos like Weird Wars, Achting! Cthulhu, or Godlike – but except for very focused indie games like Night Witches and Grey Ranks you don’t see it much any more, so it’s cool to see a squad focused modern RPG system in the genre!
So if you obsessively watch Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Saving Private Ryan, etc., here’s a great way to roleplay in that setting!
