The startling art preview of Darkwalkers
Darkwalkers isn’t a new game. The RPG from Steve Creech’s DragonWing Games has reviews on RPGNow that date back to 2006.

Mortal Coil Revised review
Galileo Games’ revised edition of Mortal Coil hit RPGNow this week and so here’s a short review. First off; Mortal Coil places heavy emphasis on cooperative story telling.

Talisman Studios rebrands as Savage Mojo
Here’s a story from the gaming world you don’t see very often – a rebranding. Talisman Studios, best known for their Savage Worlds and Mojo Rules games, will be changing their name to Savage Mojo. What they’re doing there is simply combining the names of their top two products; always a risk as it ties […]
