The World of Aden is a setting designed for use with West End Games' Masterbook and D6 systems, and is based on a background developed by SSI and used in two PC games, Thunderscape and Entomorph.[1]

Publication history

Shannon Appelcline commented that "The World of Bloodshadows (1994), a noir fantasy, was West End's only original setting for MasterBook; everything else was licensed. The World of Indiana Jones (1994) and The World of Necroscope (1995) might have been good licenses. However, the same can't be said of The World of Aden (1996), The World of Species (1995), The World of Tales from the Crypt (1996), or infamously The World of Tank Girl (1995).[2]:261

Reception

Andy Butcher reviewed The World of Aden for Arcane magazine, rating it a 6 out of 10 overall.[1] Butcher comments that "Unfortunately, while the book succeeds at sketching out the basics of the world, it rarely finds the space to go into detail. There are a lot of good ideas here, and an inventive referee looking for a slightly different setting could do a lot worse than to pick this up, whether you're familiar with the Masterbook and D6 systems or not."[1]
