Excited to run some version of this at my local game store.
If you're looking for a ttrpg system and setting that focuses on storytelling and relationships though with combat still being a fairly large part of the game, this might be the book for you! It's a book very friendly to new players and game masters alike - to the point where I as a fairly experienced dice roller felt there were a number of sections I could skip, so I ended up skimming a few chapters of this.
This is a dense book, which has its ups and downs. Over all, it's an enjoyable and comprehensive read. There are parts that I felt were a little wordier than necessary, but not in a way that makes the game not-fun to prep for or understand. Will be interesting to try this version of the game, since I've already played the first edition. Also, the winged cats still being part of the game? Perfection~!

Fantasy RPG with a sufficiently different emphasis to the norm to make it interesting. Using the AGE system is a positive step because it allows them to shift away from the D&D sacred cows which the original True20-powered system retained.

6 stars. One of the most innovative RPGs of recent times, this is one step forward in fantasy. Character-and-relationships-driven (as Romantic Fantasy is) the setting of Blue Rose stuns with a progressive world born of darkness and chaos: a second golden age sustained with one of the most beautiful societies ever depicted in a RPG. The AGE system mechanics are a wonder in simplicity and versatility, and the graphic design and artwork are gorgeous in extreme. A book in which more than a half is setting! Almost never before seen. The adventure types that are playable are nothing like the common dungeon-bashing or creature-killing so commonly found in most fantasy setting: here the name Hero acquires a meaning less legendary and out of touch, and more grounded on being someone that really helps to build toghetherness through helping and doing.
Blue Rose is a real wonder, a beautiful jewel inside the fantasy RPG genre.

Aclaro, no me leí lo del máster ni el bestiario... quero que sean sorpresa!!!
Después de aplazarlo por que la vida, la pandemia y porque ajá... al fin vamos a jugar, así que lo leí.
El mundo es complejo y amplio, las razas -especialmente los rhydan- son preciosas y únicas, la magia y el combate -ya veremos en acción-. Pero el aspecto único de las relaciones: tener relaciones sentimentales, diversas -con reglas especiales para los personajes trans- y que sean parte integral y motor del personaje!?!?!? Son elementos que lo distancian de cualquier otro juego en el mercado y que tiene leyendo fantasía romántica, para tener mi corazón AroAce listo para la aventura
