Condition:
Scratch & dent. New. Binding intact. Book has corner creasing. See images. The game engine of Tales from the Loop RPG is based on our previous game Mutant: Year Zero, that was awarded with a Silver ENnie for Best Rules at Gencon 2015, and used also in Coriolis—The Third Horizon. The core mechanic is the same: To make a skill roll, you simply grab a number of dice for your attribute score, skill level and gear, and roll them all together. You need at least one six to succeed, and extra sixes can give bonus effects. This core mechanic is of course adapted and expanded to support the themes of Tales from the Loop. The rules focus less on conflict and combat, more on exploration, relationships and the characters' needs to balance solving mysteries with their everyday life as schoolkids.

SynopsisThe landscape was full of machines and scrap metal connected to the facility in one way or another. Always present on the horizon were the colossal cooling towers, with their green obstruction lights. If you put your ear to the ground, you could hear the heartbeat of the Loop the purring of the Gravitron, the central piece of engineering magic that was the focus of the Loops experiments. The facility was the largest of its kind in the world, and it was said that its forces could bend space-time itself. Scifi artist Simon Stlenhags paintings of Swedish 1980s suburbia, populated by fantastic machines and strange beasts, have won global acclaim. Now, you can step into the amazing world of the Loop. In this roleplaying game in the vein of E.T. and Stranger Things, you'll play teenagers solving mysteries connected to the Loop. The game rules are based on Mutant: Year Zero, which was awarded with a Silver ENnie for Best Rules at Gencon 2015. Made in the UK.

Role playing in the 80s
If you like sci-fi, like the 80s, like robots and dinosaurs, like to role play, then Tales from the Loop will bring out your inner child and you will enjoy this setting immensely. It’s a good read and it has a lot of fantastic art from Simon Stalenhag to set the tone and provide inspiration.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

80’s fun with focus on story
So far, I’ve only read the book half through, but boy - oh, boy... I can’t wait to run mysteries on the two groups I have waiting. The artwork is amazing, of course - but so is the system. The system is light weight - but tight where it matters. Don’t pass this up.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

I’m now a game master... of stranger tales form the loop...
The going back to ones childhood, and being able to re-live it, it’s one of the best investments I have ever made in RPGs... the players are hooked in their past... and I live to tell the tale of how they solve their mysteries... fully adaptable to their home town... thanks for this wonderful product well packed with love.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
