Kuro is a new game – presumed RPG – from Cubicle 7. It’s a game that blends the Japanese horror style with a dark and near future. Cubicle 7 have experience in this area as they already produce Qin The Waring States. They also cite Yggdrasill – a Norse mythology game and Kelita – a […]

Who actually created D&D? A Dungeons and Dragons documentary
This video is a trailer for a Dungeons & Dragons documentary. I think it looks pretty good. It’s a complex story – even around apparently simple questions like; “Who actually created D&D?” https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andrewpascal/dungeons-and-dragons-a-documentary This is not a completed documentary though. It may never be finished. There’s a Kickstarter project for it with pledges beginning at […]
Free to Download: HackMaster Basic
HackMaster was first published in 2001 and began life as a parody of D&D. It was the game played by the characters of Jolly R. Blackburn’s Knights of the Dinner Table. It’s not that much of a parody any more, with complete and original rules and set in the Kingdoms of Kalamar. Kenzer & Company, […]

How’s this for a LARP prop? The seller, Hawanja, describes the prop as something for a Cthulhu LARP. Do you know of any Lovecraft live action games? It doesn’t matter.

What a piece of AR clothing does is transform, on screen, when viewed with the right app. The best way to describe it is to […]
Dungeons & Dragons 5e shouldn’t be a white male fantasy – would you sign the petition?
Did you know there was only one image of a non-white human character in the D&D 4e core rule books? Another study suggests 60% of the “heroes” in DMG, PHB, PHB2 and Adventurer’s Vault are men. Over a third of images suffered from sexism, according to the same study. In response, Josh Fox has started […]

Raiding the Codex Seraphinianus for RPG ideas
The Codex Seraphinianus was published in 1981 by Luigi Serafini and shows art from an imaginary world created in the 1970s. The art is surreal, often a parody of a real life creature and sometimes slightly disturbing. Along with illustrations there’s a mysterious writing system which has become a challenge and a matter of debate […]
