EDITOR’s NOTE: This is a review we originally posted back in January. In recognition of Iron Tyrant’s new availability on DriveThruRpg, we have re-posted for those who might not have seen it the first time. Iron Tyrants is a hoot-and-a-half. Go get it. Now. — After getting to play test Iron Tyrants with Luke Meyer […]
One of the most impressive things about Pinnacle’s Savage Worlds (in addition to how just simply entertaining the system is) is that not only are their products generally impressively professional, with excellent layouts, editing, writing and art, but also the products from third party companies that utilize Savage Worlds are equally professional. The products Misfit […]
I suspect that there is not an adventuring party in the world that does not think that if they’re hired to guard a train, there will be a robbery attempt while they’re on guard duty. For that matter, the very idea is pervasive enough that it has parallels in almost any time and genre of […]
My friendly neighborhood gaming group just completed a campaign using the Mortal Coil gaming system. Generally, we are a traditional group, but we’ve played storytelling games before and one game that used a bidding system similar to the one in Mortal Coil and we’ve always found them enjoyable. But Mortal Coil proved to be a […]
Houses of the Blooded is just not my kind of game. It’s about playing the kind of stories that I’m not really interested in. It revels in the sort of short sighted, self-destructive lack of self-awareness that makes both soap operas and reality TV successful as genres. Likewise, the stars of Houses of the Blooded, […]

Just reading the rules brings to mind visions of mighty barbarians facing evil wizards with only their strength and steel to protect them, white knuckled adventurers discovering ancient temples housing timeless horrors, rakish heroes piloting shiny rockets and discovering forbidden planets, and smoky eyed, […]
Nosing around DriveThruRPG, I came across a nifty, little 10 page game supplement called BIRDS. It is a bestiary article for the HarnMaster Fantasy Role Playing Game. I’ve never heard of HarnMaster much-less played it. Still, I was intrigued by the subject matter. I mean, what was this thing gonna tell me about birds, right? […]
I was a little disappointed when I opened up the Savage Worlds Fantasy Companion and realized that it wasn’t filled with pictures of the half clothed Amazon warrior featured on the cover. It wasn’t even filled with a saucy story about her adventures. In fact, it seems that she is not, in fact, the Fantasy […]
Dour Puritans who fight the forces of supernatural evil with the sheer power of their faith and a vicious scowl are not exactly my cup of tea. If anything, I am a much bigger fan of beefy barbarians who battle dark wizards and seduce lusty wenches. So, when given the choice of Robert E. Howard’s […]
