Jim Pinto’s second edition of The Carcass is pretty much written. This Kickstarter is to improve the art and tart adding extra classes. The game, which can be played without a GM, is about survival and it’s clear not every PC will. The funding goal was just $1,000 and at the time of writing there’s […]

The 501st Legion: Stormtroopers versus Aliens

Projects like Olav the Wolf seem to be commissioned by fairs and music festivals. I […]
