It is safe to say that John Carter did not do as well as Disney would have liked. It is pretty clear by now that it is more on the Prince of Persia end of the profit scale than on the Pirates of the Caribbean end. That’s a shame, really. The original John Carter books […]
Do you like cyberpunk? Do you like post-apocalyptic settings? Well then, I may have found something that might interest you. Interface Zero: San Francisco is a city book for Interface Zero by Gunmetal Games. In case you were wondering, Interface Zero is a setting that utilizes the Savage World rules. The year is 2088 and […]
It embarrasses me a little to admit that it took me three of the Savage Worlds genre companions before I realized that the same woman was presented on each cover. She is simply changed to fit the genre contained within the book. The red-headed Amazon on the cover of the Fantasy Companion is the red-headed […]
You can keep GenCon and Origins. For my money, the best two days in gaming is Fear the Con. Now, I will admit to being ridiculously biased as I’ve never been to either GenCon or Origins, so there is nothing scientific about my opinion. But I can’t imagine either of those bigger conventions beating 26 […]
This is one of the BEST deals on Kickstarter and you only have HOURS left to get in on this amazing offer! The good folks at Evil Hat – fine purveyors of such RPG awesomeness as THE DRESDEN FILES RPG, the upcoming ATOMIC ROBO RPG and SPIRIT OF THE CENTURY – are breaking into the […]
I picked up Burning Wheel Gold at GenCon 2011, but I’m only able to sit down and write something about it now. The reason it has taken me so long to write anything in regards to this book is both a good thing and a bad thing. The bad thing is that I live here […]
We are living in a new golden age if you are a lover of super hero role-playing games. With the release of Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, both major comics publishers have their worlds available to be utilized. This is something that hasn’t happened in well over a decade. DC Adventures was released back in 2010 by […]
I love comics, super heroes, and role-playing games. Since you are reading this here on Ideology of Madness, I am going to assume that you love these things as well. Allow me to offer you a virtual fist bump. I’ld throw in the shoulder bump but I don’t know you that well. We’ll get there though, I […]
For must of us, the Ukraine is just one of those weird places on the Risk map that makes up what we consider Russia. Even with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the independence of so many of the states that formerly made it up, most westerners know nothing about any of these nations […]
Spelljammer is the best D&D setting ever. That’s right, I said it and I mean it. Read it again. Best. Setting. Ever. Does it have some ridiculous elements? Sure. I’m not going to deny that the Giff and Space Hamsters aren’t jokes, though I believe both were intentionally meant as jokes. And yes, physics are […]
