Back in the day, one of my favorite games was Pacesetter’s Chill: Adventures Into the Unknown. Originally published in 1984, it was a horror game very much in the vein of the Universal monster movies… Dracula, the Mummy, werewolves, and the Frankenstein monster. I loved this game.

As I shared earlier, I am sporting some major wood for Atomic Overmind Press’ new setting book penned by Ken Hite, The Day After Ragnarok. It’s written for Savage Worlds, detailing a world that ended during World War II. It looks awfully cool. The Day After Ragnarok was announced for May 27th PDF release last […]
Of the many laudable aspects of the Memorial Day Weekend – time with friends and family, BBQ, swimming in the pool, beer – my absolute favorite is the Half Price Books 20% off sale.

Over on his blog today, Sean Patrick Fannon offered an invitation to the fans of his Shaintar setting: If you would be part of the Next Great Adventure… If you would like to truly participate in the future of Shaintar… If you feel its pulse in your blood… If you think you can sing in […]
I’ve had some concerns over the last week or so relating to my second favorite holiday, Free RPG Day. My concern has been the site’s been down for at least a week and as the worldwide event is scheduled for June 20th, just five weeks away. Fortunately, news came yesterday via Ogre Cave that the […]
Zack over at RPG Blog II wrote recently of the passion he and his father share for the Indianapolis 500. For various reason, his father has been unable to attend the event for more than 15 years. This year, Zack planned to take his old man to the track. Sadly, Zack has suffered a financial […]
