Summary: amber diceless role-playing
Review: Zelazny collectors, you must buy this book to complete your collection, but you don't have to like it. You'll find a little too much liscence has been taken in the creation of characters for this role-playing game. Understandably, some of the characters died in the books and need to be resurrected in some fashion for those wanting to play them, but some are over-embellished.Most notable is Corwin, a tarnished hero, who needs no improvement. A variation of Corwin's game character is that of a wizard, supported by bits of Ganelon's description of Corwin's "sorcerous" abilities. Any paranormal ability may be considered sorcery by the uninitiated; Ganelon also called Corwin a demon. His claims are based only on witnessing a hellride, which any Amberite has the ability to perform. Corwin is too pragmatic to ever seriously study sorcery; he depends on his sword, strength, and animal cunning. (His sword's name, by the way, is spelled GrAyswandir, which has a beautiful visual and aural flow to it. Wujcik spells it grEy- which is just plain wrong.) Of course, forget about the clashes with the original and this is a great place to start a great character-based role-playing game!
