Roll Player

Roll Player, board/card game reviewed by Tom Vasel.  Seal of Excellence.  He liked it because it is a thinky, puzzley game with lots of interesting choices.  After playing it solitaire a half dozen times, I am less positive than he is.  It is fiddle, gamey, and lucky.  The pasted on backstory mechanic does not work for me.  The very different rules for armor vs. weapons also do not work for me.  The alignment limitations on using skills are egregious., especially in light of the very different rules on skills vs. traits.  Going to need a lot of tweaking with house rules for me to continue to play this.
