Priest (Ratcatchers #1) di Matthew Colville
Starts up Witcher like, which felt great, then goes full Green Knight, which could have been good... but ends up boring, with endless not-so-good dialogues, weirdely inconsistent MC, way too little of anything else except dialogues (feels much like a theatrical play, actually) and annoying/ forced not revealing any hint for the mystery, just in order to make the novel exceedingly long. Good potential, but quite badly wasted opportunity. A pity...
It's been awhile since I read this book and my friends and I set out to play the game. But my recollections are thus:
* This game uses a system essentially similar to the d20 system (and according to rumor was originally intended to be d20 compatible), but with a few significant differences:
* Different combat skills are learned instead of the d20 system's all encompassing Base Attack Bonus.
* For normal checks 2d6 are rolled instead of 1d20. Some would argue this produces a nicer "bell curve" and is more realistic (though it skews the scale from the d20 norm). Personally I don't really care one way or the other.
* The Attributes and "Reactions" (derived attributes) are different. And actually these I prefer over the standard d20 system.
* Character creation partly involves choosing different packages of talents based on experience at different stages of life.
