Mummy: The Resurrection

Mummy: The Resurrection

by Andrew Bates, Kraig Blackwelde, Kraig Blackwelder

Though vampires have their intrigues, werewolves have their wars, mages have their realities, wraiths have their passions and changelings seek to return to their homeland, there are supernatural powers at work in the world that concern all of these beings. Indeed, there are people and forces in the world of Darkness that endanger all those who exist. Learn the secrets, alliances, enemies and plans of these shadowy beings in a series of world of Darkness books that can be integrated into all of the storyteller games. Amenti is destroyed, Osiris awakes and the undying are reborn. But if they are not the ancients themselves, who are these new mummies? Mummy: The Resurrection brushes aside the veil of mystery and delves into the Middle Eastern World of Darkness to bring you completely revised and updated rules for playing a new kind of mummy character. Contained within are new spells, new horrors and new insights into the mysteries of Arabia, Egypt and the lands of the dead.

If you like RPG games this is a good addition to anyone's library. It is the basic rules to playing a Mummy in the World of Darkness. This book has been responsible for hours of enjoyment and entertainment in my home. It is a little more difficult to figure out the rules than Vampire but once you do it is worth it.

The third expanded supplement to any number of World of Darkness roleplaying games, offering details on how to play one of the Reborn, a mummy in this particular universe, to create a chronicle including them, or centered around them. This particular version of the Reborn, called the Amenti were similar in some ways to the main characters in Demon: The Fallen. The fractured soul of one of Osiris/Horus’s former immortal followers, caught in the underworld, fuses with that of a wounded, dying human in modern times. Such a being is reborn as a vital, eternal supernatural being with a mission from their gods and masters. The focus is upon this particular type of mummy, a departure from the variety offered in earlier supplements, although the others are mentioned. While the Amenti have a more balanced, positive nature than many a denizen in the World of Darkness, they feel in some ways limited. Nor do they get all the personalized detail and character excerpts included in other supplements. There is some, yet it feels somehow more disconnected from the material. The background didn’t quite mesh with other World of Darkness sourcebooks, although it’s supposed to work with them. Even so, it’s an intriguing read with beautiful artwork, offering an interesting new dimension to this new universe along with a new roleplaying opportunity. Fans of the World of Darkness will want to give this a second glance.

Por un lado entendo que caera do catálogo en Factoria de ideas, a lectura non atrapa en ningún punto. Por outro atopo moi meritorio que traten a complexidade da mitoloxía exipcia nun libro de rol que pretende representar o seu propio universo, cada dous párrafos introducen un novo concepto da épica de Osiris, o ka, o Tem-akh e nai que o pariu. Teñen que manter erguidos dous mundos dunha gran complexidade no seu relato, en paralelo e sen entrar en moita contradicción interna.
Non entendo porque non o integran mellor nun universo tan ben escrito e orgánico como é a pirámide alimenticia de humano, vampiro, lobishome, momia, fada e mago. Case non hai referencias a esoutros mundos, case nada ao de lobishome! Iso é incríbel, resta puntos para os fans.
E é que cando do que se trata é de crear o teu propio universo recurrir a unha mitoloxía real propia, densa e milenaria supoño que só che pode sair ben se eres un portento da escritura, e penso que non é o caso.
Desfrutei moi a medias da súa lectura :/ Aghollá unha segunda versión máis elegante, o mundo e o concepto de momia de Whitewolf meréceo.
