Beast's Lair's Roleplaying Games Reviews: by the Players, for the Players

[Snax]

And hax stat Achilles.

Needs reviving.

Well, gonna write up the three I am in right now:

Fate/Regalia:
I think this one needs no comments. Verg is a god-tier GM, it's pretty much the biggest RP on the site with an uncountable amount of NPCs, a well thought out setting and an intriguing premise and a really well-defined rulebook. Pretty much my favorite RP on-site, and I have to thank Caster for asking for a slot, otherwise I would never have joined.
My only problem with it is that it's only one of Verg's uncountable number of projects, so sadly the update speed suffers a bit.
Still, the best RP on site for me, with interesting NPCs, likeable PCs and a very dedicated community.

Onigokko:
Another great one. Sei manages to get a good horror feel going, and the OOC thread really shows how immersed people are in this game. Every enconter really gets people planning and thinking, and the atmosphere and fast updating speed do the rest. The system is very much learning by doing, which sometimes can be kind of confusing, but all in all it's a great experience, and I really hope we'll see this RP from start to finish.

Babel's Tale:
The Notes revival hasn't been active for long, but for now it looks very promising. I had a blast in character creation, and the scenarios that seem to be laid out for us seem to be interesting. Leo maintains a good update speed.
I'll probably comment more on it once it really gets going.

This makes me realize that I haven't played many RPs on this site.

I'ma have to change that. :/

[I3uster]

Well, I was only in F/E (which was killed ;_; ) and in F/VS (which was a stillbirth since nobody posted) in addition to those two.

[Sei]

Yeah.

I think the only RPs I've really played so far were both of Bryn's.

[hero]

Updated. Hopefully I didn't mess up the links or anything.

Red indicates the RP is officially dead.

Darkness Conqueror: Amazing. That is the best word to describe this RP. Hero's updates are always excellent, and he's always willing to listen to the ideas of his players, which is good, because me and Froggie have been brainstorming ideas for a long time. xD The battle system is very interesting because of how over-the-top it allows the players to act, but the enemies are able to be just as over-the-top so it still remains pretty challenging. All the PCs are likeable in some way, and the Special Units are varied and just as interesting in their own way.

Darkness Conqueror is awesome. AND I WILL NEVER ABANDON IT. EVER.

Onigokko: I love Onigokko. The atmosphere is very different from the other RPs I have participated in, and just the mention of one of the situations on IRC gets the entire chat thinking about the best course of action. It's battle system is simple but effective, and it puts an emphasis on actually thinking through what you're going to do in any situation, which subverts the usual sort of power levels to an interesting extent. The setting seems to draw from Corpse Party and Silent Hill, and is very interesting to read about, especially at night, when all the lights are off and you're on the computer by yourself. I really like Onigokko, and I WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO DIE.

Babel's Tale:

Haven't played it for very long, but it seems interesting enough so far. I had a lot of fun with character creation, and am looking forward to whatever sort of enemies Leo throws my way.

Darkness Conqueror: That RP where almost everyone is shounen (but Leo). Over the top and constantly action packed, I can't really find any faults with it. Hero generally updates fast and amazingly, and pretty much everyone's stories are fun to read through. Nice when you get sick of all those other RPs forcing you to use tactics when all you have to do in here is manifest enough shounen to whoop everyone's ass. Not saying tactics are unnecessary, but I like having them be an afterthought.

Babel's Tale: Not sure what to say about it, although me and Fran corrupting it with lesbian subtext is either one hell of a plus or a minus. A bit less powerful than the old Notes RP, it still gives off that feeling of the futility of war, in my opinion. It's off to a good start, kinda wish Leo/Morm posted faster for everyone else, though. They shouldn't have to wait for awesome.

Also, character creation, once again, is one of those hilarious things like before.

And for my next act, I plan to eat kittens.

Hero, if you can get people to post more reviews here, organize it a bit, and change the title to more accurately reflect the contents and not get confused with the other thread, I'll sticky this for you. :P

[I3uster]

sticky pls

Sengoku Rance:
An Interesting spin to the infamous tactical eroge in which our characters are a part of the world and could influenced the outcome of what we know from the world of Rance and the various action carry the chance of risk or failure which makes one wait on the edge of their seat, the only problem iis the long wait time to know of the result of said actions but regardless of that it is one of the more interesting Rp's I played.

This thread is for the RPs on BL, mangafreak.

Just as a heads-up.

I'm talking about RPs, the one RacingR set up.

[ItsaRandomUsername]

LOL here I was thinking you were talking about the eroge.

Nevermind. Keep calm and carry on.

[Bloble]

Onigokko: Yes. Hell yes. Hell fucking yes.

[Sei]

Ouroboros: Really like this RP. Not sure why I never posted a review before... As an original RP, I look forward to what lies around the corner and the overall idea of the factions does interest me. Overall, I think it's something with a fair deal of potential, but I would like to see a little more done with the updates we get from time to time. Nevertheless, I plan on bumping the RP until it ends or falls dead on the ground.

tl;dr 3.5 out of 5. 4 out of 5 including wank.

Fortissimo EXS // Trigger: Verzweiflung: Okay... So I went through the trouble of typing out the full title. That alone should say something. If that isn't enough... I've made like 50 DAMN CHARACTERS based off this system! Haven't even read the freaking canon... But yeah. #1 on my list of RPs right now. Nuff said.

[Snax]

I wish i could bring more quality into my Ouroborus posts too, maybe that would induce some of the other doods to post moar as well. :I

[hero]

Updating this when exam is done with.
