Rivers of London: The Roleplaying Game - Leatherette

"A superb realization of a much-loved series, dripping with character while offering fast and streamlined mechanics. Another classic in the making, and deservedly so... Chaosium have been pushing out great game after great game for years now, and this is no exception. A delight."

— Paul Mackintosh, RPGNet Review.

"Rivers of London is in good hands... Gamers new to the system or new to RPGs will find a surprisingly clear and concise presentation of the rules in a step-by-step procedural format, complete with meaningful and relevant examples that are both easy to understand and easy to find."

— Runeslinger, Youtube Review.

"A fantastic gateway into tabletop role-playing games… All in all, if this was your first ever role-playing game, you’re in good hands... If you’re a fan of the series of novels, this game is probably a must-have. Alternatively, if you’re looking for something that isn’t loaded with well-worn fantasy tropes, then this might be worth considering, especially for novice gamers."

— British Fantasy Society, Rivers of London Review.

“A superb adaptation"

— Rolling Boxcars, Rivers of London; Giving it a London Once-Over.

“9/10: You don’t have to be well-versed in Rivers of London to want to pick up this roleplaying game… a ‘must own’.

— The Gaming Gang, Review and Page-Through Video.

“I genuinely think we’re in the middle of a Chaosium golden age right now, and Rivers of London is one of the fruits of it… As for the game itself, it’s got a lovely presentation – with nice full-colour art, a crisp, clear, readable front, no distracting background patterns to impact readability, and two ribbon bookmarks. The actual execution is an interesting mix of classic Chaosium design and organisation principles with modern attitudes, which is exactly what you’d want to do when introducing a new game line which feels fresh and distinct enough to appeal to a new audience whilst still being part of a longer-standing family of games.”

— Refereeing & Reflection, Rivers of London: Classic Chaosium Project, Modern Chaosium Attitude.

"The whimsical and at times humorous Urban Fantasy setting of Rivers of London makes it ideal as either a first TTRPG or a transition game for players looking to expand beyond Dungeons & Dragons. There’s just enough familiar fantasy stuff to be engaging, but not so much that it feels tired or cliched... It goes without saying that if you’re a fan of the novels, Rivers Of London: The Roleplaying Game is a must-have addition to the bookshelf, and stands alone in its own right as an excellent and accessible TTRPG with something to offer everyone."

— GameOnAUS, Rivers Of London: The Roleplaying Game.

”(The) close relationship with Aaronovitch and the team’s passion for the project has paid off with a game that faithfully captures both the tone and feel of the books.”

— 'Scry me a River’ - Wyrd Science #4, Wyrd Science #4.

“Ben Aaronovitch has achieved one of his life’s ambitions and has an RPG of his work created. This thing of beauty exists!”

— Files and Records blog, Looking beyond the Rivers….

“Based on the wildly successful novels of the same name, the Rivers of London RPG blends fantastical adventures with good old police procedural action to create a wonderfully unique experience at the tabletop.”

— Tabletop Gaming Magazine #77, Rivers of London: The Roleplaying Game Review.

"Rivers of London: the Roleplaying Game is absolutely the roleplaying adaptation that Ben Aaronovitch dreamed of for his novels."

— Reviews from R'lyeh, Fantasy of the Folly.

"An outstanding 9/10 — the Rivers of London TTRPG manages to walk the fine line between welcoming newcomers to TTRPGs and delivering for franchise fans... Guidance from game creators and Ben Aaronovitch himself should ensure that everybody can start the game confidently, and grow from there."
