The latest Doctor Who game from Cubicle 7 is a dice game that lets you play on the side of Daleks and exterminate UNIT soldiers. Dalek Dice has packaging to die for. I love how the dice tumbler looks like a Dalek’s dangerous eye stalk. The pack comes with 10 custom Dalek dice. Watch out […]

Dark fantasy with destiny – A review of WITCH: Fated Souls
Witch: Fated Souls first popped onto my radar when Angry Hamster took it to Kickstarter. They wanted €4,500 and raised nearly €16,000 instead. A successful Kickstarter does not mean the resulting RPG will be any good. Let’s download a copy of Witch and take a look. From the outset it is clear this is an […]
Dragon dice bags!
Etsy retailer My Funky Camelot lets you design your own dragon dice bag by giving you a choice of colour and style. No wonder they’ve sold hundreds. Check out the product page.

Modiphius’ Conan RPG finally hits Kickstarter

A second chance for Altais and mankind
Back in 2014 Altais was asking for AUD $40,000 on Kickstarter to fund a good looking fantasy RPG. That project was cancelled. This month the relaunch hit Kickstarter and is asking for a far more modest $10,000. It’s worth a look. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1121209158/altais-age-of-ruin-a-dystopian-fantasy-rpg-relaunc [Back this campaign] This isn’t just a second chance for Parhelia Games’ Aitais […]
7th Sea: Second Edition Kickstarts already
It was just a few months ago, in Novemeber, when we reported on John Wick buying 7th Sea back from AEG. He’s got the Kickstarter up already and it’s a smash hit. At the time of writing there’s 33 days left on the clock, $115,00 in the bank against a target of only $30,000. You […]
Mutant: Genlab Alpha looks to expand the great Mutant Year Zero
I really liked Mutant Year Zero. Characters are mutants who’ve grown up in an Ark of mutants in the middle of a dangerous wilderness. Everything around them is dying. Their Elder is dying. The land is dying. They’re going to die. The game is about making a difference despite the likely fate, about exploring the […]
8 Far East adventure RPGs battle it out for Year of the Monkey honours
February 8th 2016 is the Chinese New Year. It’ll be the Year of the Monkey, in fact, it’ll be the year of the Fire Monkey. As a rule of thumb the Chinese New Year follows the second new moon after the winter solstice. That’s the tradition. It’s less traditional to pick 8 Far East RPGs, […]
Urban fantasy meets Savage Worlds: Olympus Inc
Olympus Inc is an urban campaign setting for Savage Lands and it’ll be available if Fabled Environments are able to hit their $8,500 goal on Kickstarter. There’s more than two weeks left on the clock, at the time of writing, and they’re more than halfway there. For the latest stats check the campaign page. [Back […]
