Yesterday I was browsing RPGNow for some free stuff, when I discovered that the PDF version of Eclipse Phase is already available for purchase. Eclipse Phase is a post-apocalyptic roleplaying game of conspiracy...
This weekend I wanted to give X-plorers a try, but alas aside from my girlfriend noone was around to play, so we decided to run the mission in the back of the book...
X-plorers is a new roleplaying game by David Bezio’s Grey Area Games. But although its brand-new you could easily mistake it for a game from the 70s. And I mean that in a...
Some time ago, someone mentioned a Battletech RPG on Twitter, I believe it was my fellow RPG Blogger Chgowiz. But after the IMHO horrible Mechwarrior 3rd Edition, I had pretty much lost interest...
It seems the beta test of the OpenD6 website is just a few days to weeks away. As the developer of the software that will power the OpenD6 site wrote on the WEG...
I believe in a couple of post I came across much like a grumpy grognard who attacks everything new and is clinging to the good old times. But actually I am very open...

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...
Yesterday our side of the Twitterverse was in uproar about Wizard’s silly new fan site kit policy. I usually don’t cover 4th Edition stuff and I’ve decided to stop posting about D&D 4th...

No, that line is not from me, but from game designer Steve Jackson, co-founder of Games Workshop and creator of the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks. He has said these words in a recent interview...
