OSR Review of Modern War: Crisis Creator By Martin Proctor, & Paul Elliott The Modern War Rpg & Cepheus Engine Rpg's.

 "Crisis Creator gives you the tools to create fictional countries set in the modern world, and then helps you plunge them into crisis. These small, fictional nations are the perfect backdrop for a Modern War campaign, free from the complications of Real World horrors and politics. Create your country, give it a security crisis, and then invite your players to form the squad of a Western power, invited in to support one side or another. "



"Caught up in this crisis, your players will have to face difficult choices and great danger as they try to complete the missions which have been set for them." 


 Crisis Creator is the type of supplement for  Modern War that you don't think you'd need as a DM. Then you get a copy & wonder where it's been all your life?! This book is the crisis point generator for Modern War and yet it has so many other uses as well. Clocking in at ninety three pages Crisis Creator can brew up hot spots, blow ups, and well crisises for your Modern War rpg and Cepheus Engine based Rpg campaigns.
Crisis Creator builds on many of the tools laid down in 
 Modern War & because of this Crisis Creator is an excellent tool set for the Hostile rpg. You can create your fictional country & the crisis that it's suffering from. And then map out the mission that your squad can take on. The editing, layout, and over all feel of Crisis Creator is up to the usual Zozer Games standard.
Crisis Creator also has rules for insurgancy counter war rules including aircraft and more. This allows all aspects of the crisises to be played out. There are also solo rules for using Crisis Creator as an abstract solo rpg. These rules can be used with any Modern rpg or supplement for Modern rpg. 
But is Crisis Creator any good and has it as an rpg supplement any ultility?! In a word oh yes! Crisis Creator is a perfect tool box to create your own fictional country, crisis, circumstances surrounding the crisis and missions. 
Crisis Creator is also incredibly useful for Hostile especially Hostile's Dirty Wars mercenary company supplement. Take Crisis Creator create your fictional country/colony, then crisis, followed up with your mercenary company coming in to mop up the colony issue. 

Crisis Creator is another excellent Zozer supplement that can bring the pain and rain to your Modern War or Hostile rpg campaign. The engines and systems within Crisis Creator far out weigh the material in question.

Review & Commentary On Anderson and Felix Ready Reckoner By Michael Johnson For The Earth & Clement Sector & Cepheus Engine Rpg's

 "Everything at your fingertips!"

The Anderson and Felix Ready Reckoner is a compilation of all the necessary charts from various sourcebooks that you might need to build a spaceship, small craft, or space station in the Clement Sector universe.  This places all of the charts in one handy location that allows you to exert your creativity with less hassle and chart finding.

Also included in the Ready Reckoner are blank worksheets to create starships and space stations of your own using the "Design Data" method used in the Anderson and Felix Guide to Naval Architecture and all of Independence Games' starship sourcebooks.

Your project has the green light! "




 Imagine that you & your party are in the limitless black of the Clement sector. Out beyond your spacecraft stretches infinite void. And your sensors detect a particularly valuable ore on an asteroid. But there's special circumstances surrounding extraction of this valuable ore. You need a special space craft. Or perhaps you party wants to open a fuel station in the middle of a trade route or main colonization route. You need a craft or station designed as soon as possible! 
The Anderson and Felix Ready Reckoner By Michael Johnson supplement is perfect for this because it allows the player & DM to design space craft and space stations quickly with all of the bells and whistles that we've come to expect from the Earth and Clement sector rpg's. Michael Johnson's design here is fast, solid, and tight. The layout and fonts are easy too read. 
Clocking in at forty six pages the Anderson and Felix Ready Reckoner By Michael Johnson has everything you need to design the craft of your dreams step by easy step. And it does it in an easy to understand method.. This is something we've come to expect from Cepheus Engine powered rpg games using the classic 2d6 methods that we all know and love. 
 Anderson and Felix Ready Reckoner has all of the guidelines and knowhow built right into it to allow your imagination to run free. This is a complete rpg package allowing the DM to design thier own space craft and stations easily as well as completely.. 
There's something oddly satisfying about coming up with and allowing the imagination to take a spacecraft or station concept and then bring it to life on paper for your favorite 2d6 games! And the sky's the limit for bringing your creations to life for the Clement or Earth's sectors where these space craft are in high demand! 
Anderson and Felix Ready Reckoner walks you through the entire process step by step to completion! You end up with a complete spacecraft or station ready to use at your next game! Yes, it's that simple. 
Is the Anderson and Felix Ready Reckoner supplement worth getting?! In a word, yes because this is not an overly complex nor complicated space craft or space station design supplement. This a complete tool kit in an 8.00 price point specifically to be used in a wide variety of Cepheus Engine rpg powered games!
