Strange Aeons Shocking Tales vol.2 review
« on: June 21, 2011, 11:47:10 AM »
Shocking Tales of Madness and Mayhem vol.2 is the second expansion for the Pulp-Lovecraftian Horror game Strang Aeons by Uncle Mikes Worldwide. Focus this time around is on adventure in a lost world setting with degenerate humanoids and dinosaurs sharing the threat level towards you with starvation and not being able to recruit new agents or buy new equipment once you enter the campaign mode.

If you're not into dinosaurs, much of the campaign can be translated into a pure Lovecraftian setting that uses an expedition as a framework for the story.

Check the whole review with more pictures on my blog. If you're unfamiliar with Strange Aeons or with Shocking Tales vol.1 there are links at the bottom of my review that will lead you to reviews of the core rulebook and first expansion as well.

Thanks for the review.  I spent the morning reading your blog, great battle report. Do you have any other Strange Aeons battle reports hidden there?
