...I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
Oh well, here we go...
I'm Silvermane, your friendly neighbourhood review-monkey from Germany. And that's about all the interesting stuff there is to know about me. Hard to tell why I'm here; might be because I do have a few questions about BHB's setting. Might be because I'm a sucker for SF-RPGs. Might be because there is a certain Firefly vibe to the background.
I'll be watching how the game and the setting develops; the rules are solid (if a bit crunchy, but at least there's no excessive rolling of dice), the toys are numerous, and the character sheet tells me that someone actually played the game before making it. I like that; it's got that certain old-school charme to it, while being graced with slick mechanics. You play bounty hunters. But you're not limited to playing bounty hunters, given some creative thought you could as well play a team of corporate mercs doing black ops, or syndicate thugs on the run from bounty hunters. I appreciate that; I've read a few one-trick-ponies too many lately, so BHB felt rather refreshing in it's approach.
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Silvermane
'cause Im in need of some restraint

Let me be the first to welcome ya official-like Silvermane :)
As I mentioned elsewhere, I really enjoyed your review and it’s nice to have you here. Feel free to ask about whatever you like, I’m more than happy to answer any questions you might have.
Even better, if you have any suggestions, let us know. We intended this forum not only to share our own ideas, but as a place for others to put their own spin on things.

Oh, I’m also happy to see people are picking up on the versatility of BHB – I’ve already used it to run BHB as intended, but also a Shadowrun style campaign and a fantasy game or two. Part of our supplements will further explore these ideas.
