Recently commenter Elias Eight requested an overview article about German RPGs. I really think this could be an interesting topic for a series of posts, so I started doing some research on the...
Yesterday fellow RPG blogger Greywulf wrote about the new Chimera 2.0, a quick-to-play multi-genre RPG. After reading his post I headed to the Welsh Piper website and was quite shocked that they want...
In October Triple Ace Games released a free cyberpunk rules supplement for Savage Worlds that is intended to be used with their “Daring Tales of the Sprawls” adventure line. But from what I’ve...
Frank Herbert’s Dune is one of my favorite SF books. I’ve read several of the sequels but in my opinion the first book was the best. My father owned a hardcover version of...
Some months ago I created a new version of my Ad Astra Primer document. The new PDF is much more printer-friendly and includes some artwork created by my fellow RPG blogger Greywulf. Since...

I am pretty sure some of you have already read about Dungeonslayers. In November of last year I first read about the project and wrote a short blog post about it. Then the...
While I was busy with some other projects the Dungeonslayers community was working hard on several new supplements for my favorite “old-fashioned” RPG: Into the Breach This supplement adds optional rules to Dungeonslayer...
This is the second and concluding (for now at least) episode of my series on OGL games. D&D 3rd Edition and the d20 System started it all, but a lot of other companies...
