Mind blowing: Mindjammer Roleplaying Game review
Space is big. Mindjammer is bigger. This review is based on the Thoughtcast Edition of the game which is available already to those roleplayers who preordred the game. Author Sarah Newton tells me it is 99.x% of the final game; with just some typos and textboxes to fill. I didn’t notice and I’ll tell you […]

The box promised a cooperative superhero card game and, oh boy, does it provide cards. Loads of cards. So many cards that my supply of rubber bands took […]
Odd seems to be attractive: Far Away Land RPG
[Back this Campaign] I’ve a feeling that Simian Circle Games won’t think too poorly of me for describing the Far Away Land RPG as odd. It’s most certainly odd. If you’re not able to watch the video right now then you have snails rising up to use lasers to defend the land from demon-like creatures. […]
Dungeons & Dragons Yoga creates new positions
D&D Yoga is the creation of Scott Wayne Indiana. He spent a weekend at an ashram, taking part in yoga and guided meditations when the idea came to him to blend the two. Why not listen to a guided narrative while doing yoga? The next step was to involve some interaction and so Dungeons and […]
