Since I started this blog almost 10 years ago, a lot of fellow RPG bloggers have stopped blogging or moved their activities from their blog to social media. I am quite active on...
I have to start with an apology. A couple of weeks back I promised to post more often, but unfortunately life had other plans. As the saying goes: the best-laid plans of mice...
I was never very fond of anthropomorphic animals. That’s one of the reasons why I never actually played Gamma World. I just found it too childish. When my Mutant: Year Zero GM approached...
Greg Saunders is currently kickstarting the 2nd edition of his Summerland RPG. You might remember him from his SF roleplaying game Exilium which I wrote about on this very blog. I also had...

Last weekend I wanted to give Fate another chance. Even though I have given up on Fate several times before, I wasn’t happy with that decision. In theory I love what Fate Core...
A while back Zoltan Lečei from The Games Collective, a Croatian game developer, contacted me and told me about their game Awaken which had been successfully funded by Kickstarter in 2015. Awaken is...
Back in June I decided to take a break from running roleplaying games. I have been wearing the GM’s mantle for many, many years now, and I just needed to step back from...
This morning, when I thought about writing about Shadow of the Demon Lord, I was totally amazed that I haven’t actually mentioned it on the blog at all. Robert Schwalb’s Shadow of the...
