I share my review of the corebook for The Terminator Roleplaying Game from Nightfall Games. The RPG is set in the universe of the Terminator films.
SUMMARY
The majority of The Terminator Roleplaying Game is really interesting and will go a long way to bringing the universe to life at your table. Sadly, the mechanics which drive the action are rather clunky and feel like they'd be right at home in an RPG from the 1990s as opposed to one which came out in 2022. There is quite a lot here which would be worth porting over to another system of your choice, especially if you pick up the PDF for the current $8.00 price tag.
