I wrote this back in 2001. Back then, nearly 10 years ago, I think it was helpful. The article really did serve as an introduction to PDFs and RPG ebooks for many Wyrdlings. It looks a little out of date now – for example, it suggests many gamers are using Internet Explorer. Heh! No. Not […]
GameWyrd Graveyard
Welcome to the GameWyrd archives. This section is a special look back into the history of Geek Native, as GameWyrd was the original site that started it all. As one of the first TTRPG review sites online, its content represents a foundational piece of both our own story and the broader history of tabletop gaming culture.
Here you can explore the preserved content from that pioneering era, sorted into its original sections. Delve into the historic discussions in Echoes, read the final thoughts in Famous Last Words, uncover lost gems in The Lost Archives, look back at the quirky Weird Awards, and browse through the classic Wyrd Reviews that started our journey.

Book: Brimstone and Treason Author: Caroline Dunford Publisher: Manatee Books ISBN: 1-900048-07-8 Reviewer: Wyrdmaster Caroline Dunford has provided fiction for the SLA Industries roleplaying game and for Wizards of the Coast. The back of Brimstone and Treason describes that relationship as “their ideas, her words” and so I suppose this novella is a chance to […]
Forged review
Forged is a great introduction to Oathbound. If you’re already familiar with Bastion Press’s high fantasy campaign setting then Forged will add to its unique flavour and quite possibly let you admire the setting from a new angle. Lyrien’s world is one without magic and monsters and so it comes as twice the shock when […]
