D Vincent Baker is a big name on the indie game scene. He is the creator of cool games such as Dogs in the Vineyard, In a Wicked Age, Mechaton, Murderous Ghosts, Poison’d, and Apocalypse World. I had not had the pleasure of playing one of his games until GenCon 2012. The first game […]
Last week I was lucky enough to be able to attend GenCon 2012 in Indianapolis. While I was there, I was able to indulge in my love for story games to the fullest. There was a special room setup called Games on Demand and it was staffed by Indie Games Explosion. They broke the day […]

Greetings from Gencon, Your intrepid reporter spent the ride to gencon riding shotgun, and strode into Indy at 6pm.

Do you Cthulhu? I know I do! Ok, not as much as I used to but that is only because I’m getting old. I hear your old man jokes. Get off my lawn! Where was I…Oh, Do you Cthulhu? If the answer is yes then I may have a book for you. Casting […]
You may have noticed that the Knights of Reignsborough are gearing up for another season. They have released several new Actual Plays for your listening enjoyment. My favorite so far has been Rogues of Reignsborough: Escape from Dauger Island. Listening to the players deal with the prison environs was very entertaining but it […]
There are those who who dwell apart from us. Their eyes unaccustomed to the bright rays of our golden sun. The darkness is their home for they dwell in a city under our city. These… Mollochs… Have been content to silently shadow the citizens of Reignsborough, but the recent escape of the Rogues from […]

Even in the best of circumstances, they beat up the bad guys in less than legal circumstances and more often than not, they simply slaughter sentient beings and loot their dead bodies. In darker games, the characters are not even expected to have a […]
