Having never seen the original 4-issue miniseries, I am glad Archaia Studios put out this deluxe collection because Revere: Revolution in Silver is a tale that demands to be read by all. The simple premise -- Paul Revere fights off Werewolves during the early days of the American Revolution -- grabs you by the throat; it's amazing more tales like this, combining the early history of our nation and the supernatural, have not been done (and those that want more like this, should immediately go and buy Colonial Gothic: Rulebook). The tale has a nice pace, the writing is superb and the art both unique in style and evocative of the era and tone. The only flaw I find is that it is only the beginning of the tale and we are left in a very nail-biting cliffhanger! I want more!

Steven Thanks for noting this one, Daniel; it slipped beneath my radar but it's now on my to-read list (if I can find it).

Steven
who's still irked that CC Finlay beat him to the occult meets the Revolution fantasy trilogy he always wanted to write...


Daniel Check Amazon.com. I found mine used for $5 +/- with shipping. Well worth it.

And frankly, I'd still read that series, so hey, go for it. :-)


Daniel Also, if you really liked the concept, you must check out the RPG Colonial Gothic.

Seriously. :-)

Steven I've got Colonial Gothic, though I've never had the time to explore it fully or finish reading the main book yet. Will move that closer to the top of my reading list.


Daniel Do you have the first or revised printing of the core CG book? The revised has the red cover; it's also a tighter game than 1e.

With the knowledge that we both know how crazy Gen Con is, I'm going to run a CG game taking place after the book's cliffhanger. If you want in, your spot will be reserved, even if afterhours. We can touch bases closer to con date.
