10 / 10	emi.kanter	It is unusual that we see a combination of FATE fantasy and settlers of catan become such a wonderful game. Another Wick jewel.
10 / 10	Tsanuri	Excluding a couple of typos, this has been my favorite RPG of the past 10yrs.
9 / 10	Shining Dragon	A very good game, one that I'd like to play. I am looking forward to seeing what supplements come out.
9 / 10	Saint&Sinner	An excellent game. I look forward to the expansions in the coming months.
0 / 10	Simple Man	I'm not really sure how I feel about this one. It has a lot of elements I enjoy, but doesn't seem to have much direction to it.

5 + 4	Joshua BishopRoby	Houses of the Blooded. John Wick's next "big game" is conceived as the anti-D&D game, where every assumption in the industry's juggernaut is turned on its head. The result is some fantastic, engaging play. [ Read Review ]
5 + 5	Tsanuri	Houses of the Blooded. Houses of the Blooded provides groups with a setting of Blood, Love, Revenge, Art, Duels, Intrigue and Politics with a system that matches the bill. If you want to play in a Shakespearian tragedy, prefer Elric to Conan or love Nine Princes in Amber this is for you. [ Read Review ]
3 + 4	Lev Lafayette	Houses of the Blooded. Coarse dice pools mechanic and verbose informal style weakens an otherwise interesting setting and gameplay of high powered plotting and revenge. [ Read Review ]
4 + 5	San Dee Jota	Houses of the Blooded. Tired of dungeon crawls for strangers? Want to rule a land, raise a dynasty, and and be remembered as a saint? Houses of the Blooded has you covered. [ Read Review ]
4 + 4	C.W.Richeson	Houses of the Blooded. Houses of the Blooded offers noble intrigue and backstabbing in an ancient fantasy world of harsh social rules and many opportunities for conflict. Using a FATE-derived system of shared narrative control, a group weaves together stories of intrigue as they plot their nobles' journeys through society. [ Read Review ]

2009	RPG Review #3	"It is quite a good game that steps outside the traditional setting in favour of domestic conflicts of power, romance and revenge."
