 Eleven pages (plus 5 pages of instructions and the 8-page Intro to Card Modeling PDFs) for five bucks is a steal. In truth, I only played CoC once, over twenty years ago, but still eagerly seek out anything HPL related. Even went so far as to crank up Darkest of the Hillside Thickets’ Cthulhu Strikes Back while printing, cutting, and folding last night. If you play CoC, this is a great set. If you don’t play CoC this is a great set for keeping people away from your desk at work. Let’s take a look at those components…. |

From the title, you may think this is another one of those Wayans' Brothers movies that poke fun at every horror picture to ever come out. But you'd be wrong here. And be thankful for that! Slasher Flick is labeled as the horror movie role-playing game, and Spectrum Games held nothing back with this genre-encapsulating RPG. So, log out of those online casinos and check out an RPG that you can really sink your teeth into.

JAGS2 is a rules-mediun universal roleplaying system by Marco Chacon. It provides a nice slightly number crunchy alternative to other so-called universal gaming systems. It's cover is misleading in that it shows Tarot cards but Tarot cardd are not used in this rules system so I note that as a cover design flaw. I really love the archetype traits (weird stuff) in this book. including Synchronicity. The enchancements and deficits are also well-written and presented.- Read more... Purchase Link:

I continue to be at a loss for gaming words. I cannot casually drop the topic of my book into conversation and cannot blog about it so I am stuck in my own brain and it's getting pretty whimsical. I find myself imagining creative ways to hide the bodies. Imagining elabroate gaming sessions in techniacolor with Cecil B. Demille closeups and multimillion dollar sets and Edith Head costumes to boot (oh especially the hobnailled boots!).- Read more... |

Wow, so I just accidentally posted the same keystrokes twice. Unfortunately, I think I earned experience for those. Anyhow, I had meant to express a thought. Finding an in-person game is a pain in my bum. Good lord, I've posted in a few spots and I have hope but the community seems so small at times. The kicker is I'm going to be kinda picky. I'm 25 years old with a wife and two on the way (GO ME! oh yeah, and her . . .) so I can't really go and play with everybody, now can I?- Read more... |

As a writer of RPGs, I sometimes get stuck in the idea phase of a game. I have all the research done and NPCs stated out and listed and then I sit and stare at a blinking cursor for days trying to create plot fodder. You would think it comes natural and easy but alas, sometimes writing a game alone is lonely work and the blinking cursor is hypnotizing. I am not complaining about it but it is bone lonely work to create plots out of the threads I've already written out.- Read more...

Many folks in the gaming community see the hobby as moving to a completely digital format. Indeed, almost all of the major publishers now make digital content available, and many focus almost all of their business on the digital market. Bloggers and fan sites create derivative works of their favorite systems and settings to share digitally online. But with Open Game Table: The Anthology of Roleplaying Game Blogs, editor Jonathan Jacobs reminds us that no matter how much we gamers use the internet to expand our gaming experience, we still want the really good stuff in print!- Read more... |

Oathbound:Plains of Penance by Bastion Press for the d20 system was a great read, I loved the new player classes and monsters and really enjoyed the setting. The new species of Aurad and Tthords truly fascinated me, and one can even play an underwater adventure with a dolphin as a player character for the first time. It is a colorful and rich setting with intricate details paid to the cities histories on the Plains. Having not read the first corebook, I cannot accurately comapre it to its predecessor but it was also well-written.- Read more... Purchase Link:
