I’ve recently finished reading two very different systems dealing with the science fiction genre. The first was Harp SF, a very dense, very simulationist game. I’ll be reviewing that one, soon. The other was the Savage Worlds Science Fiction Companion and, as you might guess if you know Savage Worlds, it was far less dense […]
As both a native East Texan and a fan of Savage Worlds, the Pinebox setting Pinnacle has been publishing has really piqued my interest. After all, most Yankees (that’s anyone not from Texas for you non-Texans, by which I mean Yankees) think all of Texas is either a Clint Eastwood Western or an episode of […]
There was a great war and your side lost. You are one of the last remnants of a society that is no longer wanted or needed. All that is left to you is four things; your sword, your bike, your honor, and your pack. You were once a samurai in service to something greater than […]
Gladiator, Spartacus, Rome, and I, Claudius are all pieces of media that play into my fascination with the roman empire. Each one has made me scratch my head and wonder why there wasn’t a roleplaying game based on this interesting era of history. Luckily, Fraser Ronald also had a similar idea. To fill this void, […]
“What are we going to do tonight, Brain?” “The same thing we do every night Pinky. Try to take over the World.” This conversation was running through my head the entire time I read Jennifer Steen’s Project Ninja Panda Taco.

There are surprisingly few things from beyond the realms of our reality in The First Book of Things. For a book which includes monsters to be used in Call of Cthulu games, this is a bit surprising. That’s not to say that there aren’t plenty of things in the book that will horrify players and […]
Last year I found a project that looked interesting to me. It was Dungeon World by Sage Latorra and Adam Koebel. I was hearing an awful lot about it on twitter and other places on the internet. After doing a bit of research I decided to back the project. I chose the $65 level which netted me the […]
One of the things that I have come to learn that I enjoy in table top role playing games is playing to see what happens. This idea has a strong presence in a large variety of indie games that are currently out. One of the games that has recently caught my attention that does this […]
A few weeks ago I headed out to my local comic shop for a little retail therapy. While I picked my few comics I spied an interesting book on the shelf. It was entitled Night’s Black Agents by Kenneth Hite. I knew that having Mr. Hite as the author meant that this was going to […]
