The Hunt
'The Hunt' is the second installment in a five part series of fiction based on The Nearside Project. Taken as a whole, these five stories are known as "The Thirteenth Hour".
The Price of Power
Power doesn't come cheap. If it did, we'd all be living in mansions, spending our weekends sucking down margaritas on some isolated tropical beach. That isn't the way the world works, and that isn't how games should…
The Rules With No Name
Now, I imagine that the gaming audience out there today must look at "historical" subjects with glazed eyes and coated tongue. After all, we've all read those depressing studies that indicate the average high school…
The Small Press Conundrum
The brand manager of Deadlands: The Weird West talks about small press games and the future they have in the industry.
The Swords Against Sorcery Project
Contrary to what the title suggests, this has nothing to do with jiggly camera work or spooky witches. The Swords Against Sorcery project is an attempt to create a simple set of miniatures rules that you can play when…
The Way of War
Essentially, The Way of War (TWIW) promotes itself as being a 'universal miniatures system' but upon playing it a bit with some generic figures I've come to the conclusion that this might be a grandiose statement.
Ultima Thule: Mythic Scandinavia
The ad copy for the game states, 'Any roleplayer with an interest in Mythic Scandinavia should have Ultima Thule!', which begs the question, 'Am I interested in Scandanavia?
Usagi Yojimbo Roleplaying Game
Usagi Yojimbo represents yet another attempt to crossover the comic books/TV/movie market with RPGs. But don't let that deter you from buying this gem of a game: Usagi Yojimbo is a very tight, efficient package. I have…
Venus: Bauhaus Forces of War
I have had little or no experience with the Warzone system prior to receiving several items for review. Now, I'm seriously rubbing my chin and contemplating making an investment in the system, as my wife despairs.
Violence RPG
P.O.V.: Point of View. This isn't a review, it's telling you my point of view. You may not agree with it, but then again you may. BUT WHO CARES? I'm just telling you what I think! So, without further ado, here we go...
What's In A Name?
The man who started it all talks about the emergence of Computer RPG's and how it effects the perception of the term "RPG."
When Zombies Attack
When great-grandma Edith shows up to eat your brain, the first guy to the gun shop is most likely to live. Law and order be damned.
Witchcraft
CJ Carella's WitchCraft is now in its second incarnation, having burned up one of its nine lives on a failed foray from Myrmidon Press in 1996. It has been resurrected by Eden Studios, who seems to be competing with…
You Too Can Play RPGs!
Gaming is one of those hobbies that presents rather daunting obstacles to the would-be enthusiast. The books can be awfully intimidating and RPGs are so radically different from other forms of entertainment that it's…
Zoon
The general concept of the game is that it simulates two tribes of 'Zoons' (cuddly little animals with humanoid characteristics and only semi-pronounceable names) battling it out to capture each other's 'Emblem' or…
