Kurzbeschreibung
Diana: Warrior Princess is a modern-day role playing game with a difference. Imagine our world, as seen by someone as remote from us as we are from the ancient Greeks, and with as many gaps in their knowledge. Then imagine it converted into a TV series by a production company showing the loving attention to historical accuracy we have come to expect from such series. Throw realism out of the window. Run adventures in which Eva Peron is Hitler's mistress, or JFK meets Queen Victoria. Zulu hordes swarm across Vietnam, the Spanish Inquisition stalk heretics in Manhattan, steam cars co-exist with ICBMs, Babbage engines, stealth bombers and sorcerers. A complete role playing game in 109 pages! Includes the complete adventure "Diana Does Dallas."

It's not about Princess Di...
14. Februar 2004
Just to correct the mis-impression you might have from the prior reviewer - it's quite clear that this book is not meant to have any relation to Princess Diana, it's just a coincidence of title. If you are a big fan of the Princess of Wales... this isn't what you are looking for. If you're big on roleplaying games, however....

Looking Back At 2000
1. März 2004
Yes, it's an RPG. Anyone who can't accept that premise can stop reading now. Okay -- item two: it's an RPG with a difference (which shouldn't surprise people who've heard of the author).
This is the 20th Century seen through cinematic eyes, by someone who has read a lot of cram notes on the 20th century, who isn't too worried about being sued if he gets the details wrong, and whose audience wants a good story, not historical accuracy.
So Queen Victoria is married to Albert -- Albert Einstein -- who does "Something with atoms", and the leading riverboat gambler of the era is Wild Bill Gates.
And since it's a game there are rules on how you can join in. So, you, too, can fly the sky with the WW1 aces Monty Python's Flying Circus, or adventure with the 7 Dw*rves, led by "Doc" Savage.
But the best part is reading the book and imagining more of the fractured future history of the last hundred years -- watching as (say) Lohn Lenin, Boy George, Paul Getty and "Ringo" Starwalker fight the Undead Legons with their Golden Discs, or the skirmishes of the Third-of-a-World War between the All-Black-And-Tans and their sworn foes, the bionic Springboks.

Is it too much to hope for a small expansion pack in a year or two ?

Come on people...
23. Februar 2004
It's just a game, and a hilarious one at that. Evidently some people are just too close to see the humor here. Of course, the premise for the game is that in the year 3000, television executives have decided to create a show as true to life and well researched as Xena is today... to that end, you get Diana: Warrior Princess. The fun ensues from there. I recommend it highly to anyone who enjoys satire and RPGs. Oh, and to the first reader, the first thing I thought of is that the 'show' needed a character based on JFK in it.
