Neuroglyph Games review of Biohazard playtest module: “Overall, the BioHazard Playtest Module is a very impressive demonstration into just how inventive the Amethyst Setting & Rule System is going to be. It’s also an excellent example of the Author’s imagination and game-design skills, taking the existing D&D 4e ruleset and taking it to a fun new place that will entice Players and Game Masters of science fiction, horror, and modern genres to the 4e experience.”
GnomeStew review of Biohazard playtest module: “Biohazard is a fun, action-packed adventure, that plays well, and is highly entertaining. The adventure can be run in a single evening, and can make nice break from your normal game. If you have any interest in what a 4e modern game would be like; this is the game for you.”
