There is a game available on Drivethrough RPG called Braunstein.

Braunstein was the game created by David Wesely, that was one of the pillars of the Blackmoor Campaign.

I wonder if this version has anything to do with the original, or just an attempt to capitalize on the name? :?

What Havard said. This one is vulture marketing at its worst.

Bundle product which included the core rules and the sci fi supplement has now been removed from Drivethru as well.

Well, I saw this this morning after I got home from work, and I have to say that I am NOT amused. What it looks like we have here are a couple of would-be game authors hearing about Dave Wesley's 'Braunstein' games, and then trotting off to write a game of their own.

Ya know, Dave's in the phone book; they could have called him, and gotten his advice and help - and then come up with a really cool product. Instead, we get something that - from their own description - sounds nothing like the games that Dave ran (and still runs). In the interests of full disclosure, I am a friend of the good Major (retired) and I find this whole matter pretty darn tacky. And yes, I do hope that they work with Dave to get this fixed.

annoyed,

chirine
