Title: Polaris Review Thread
Post by: Ben Lehman on August 31, 2005, 03:44:37 PM
This is not a thread in which to post reviews.  Rather, it is a collection of links to them.

The afforementioned Underkoffler's Overview (http://www.livejournal.com/users/chadu/301778.html#cutid1)
Polaris is mentioned very favorably in the Sons of Kyros (http://www.ithacagamers.com/sonsofkryos.html) after GenCon show (#4) and briefly their pre GenCon show (#2).

Polaris gets a mini pre-play review in Paul Tevis's Have Games Will Travel #7 (http://havegameswilltravel.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=18642).  He calls it "his pick for GenCon" and promises a future review.  Thanks, Paul!

Thanks, John!  Wow.

Are you going to post it on RPGnet?  What with the ratings and all?

I didn't feel it (my review) was RPG.Net worthy, especially since I haven't had the chance to actually play it.  But a lot of Everway-L people are RPGNet regulars so I included it for a convenient reference.

And I'd have to rewrite it to remove the Everway references, I think.

John Wick calls Polaris his second favorite rpg (http://www.livejournal.com/users/wickedthought/418011.html).

Thanks, John!

As there are a few Scandinavians around I'll link to my own review (http://munkholt.squarespace.com/display/ShowPost?moduleId=196482&discussionId=5674&postId=52636) (Danish). I'll summize by saying "Very positive - will try it soon."

I'm sure Paul intends to review it soon but he has actually recorded his second section of Polaris for his game podcast Have Games Will Travel (http://havegameswilltravel.libsyn.com/).

In the Christmas Episode (http://havegameswilltravel.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=42877#) of Have Games Will Travel (http://havegameswilltravel.libsyn.com/), he names Polaris his #1 game of 2005.

I'm really, really happy about this.

It's short and sweet and to the point.  My sister Adiel wrote a review of Polaris (http://tiawanamama.blogspot.com/2006/07/review.html) on her blog, based on the game that we played when my family visited over the July 4th weekend.
