Psychedelic Fantasies reviewed

[cadriel]

(I stuck this in Carcosa because this is Geoffrey's line of modules; if it needs to be moved, that's OK.)

Bryce Lynch at tenfoolpole.org has been writing some reviews of the Psychedelic Fantasies modules published by geoffrey and some of them have been very enthusiastic. Here are the reviews so far:

Beneath the Ruins
Within the Radiant Dome
The Fungus That Came To Blackeswell
Dreams of the Lurid Sac
The Harvester From Outer Space
Streams of the Lucid Crack
Proteus Sinking

(I haven't seen a review of Gleams of the Livid Plaque on there.)

I think Bryce is very fair both as to the strengths and weaknesses of the line. He's particularly enthusiastic about Paul Keigh's work (Lurid Sac, Lucid Crack). There's a lot of mention of the minimalism, which has good and bad aspects. I agree with Bryce that it's a shame these are no longer being done in print.

His reviews are why I purchased Lucid Crack, Harvester and Gleams (although not reviewed, it sounded very interesting).

I'm finding that I am looking for more and more of the 70s psychedelic-based fantasy, rather than the usual orc and pie.

Besides, these modules can be adapted to Carcosa.

I read his review of my Beneath the Ruins with some real trepidation, since Bryce can really skewer something lousy, haha. Thankfully, he liked it for the most part. I hold his reviews in pretty high esteem since he seems to have taste very similar to mine.

I'm a bit bummed myself that the print copies aren't available, though they're so easy to print out and assemble that it almost makes it moot.

Sneak Peak: The pattern gets old by Gleams.

I'm glad to see Bryce's reviews. The modules in the PF line essentially fill my desire of "Why aren't more modules to my taste published?" I am very lucky to have had such high-quality submissions.

You've done a good job.

Why not spend some Tuesday evening formatting these in to a compendium for Lulu/POD?
