Cartoonist and truth-teller N00b mama hit the nail on the head again with this two-panel strip. How many gamers emphasise with this? Who else here dislikes dealing with unhappy customers but whom can happily arrange a village’s defences against the goblin horde? I know people who won’t cook inside but who are adept at the […]

A post-historic age RPG: The Chronicles of Future Earth
Sarah Newton’s Mindjammer RPG is one of the most popular transhuman games out there. That’s a sci-fi set so far into the future the concept of ‘human’ has changed (and that’s a description so simplified it’s almost criminal). What’s post-historic then? A question that’s only important as Newton’s current project happens to be The Chronicles […]
Genre Police: A Change Is Gonna Come
Mostly when I write a genre police story, I begin by picking the genre and then discussing the issues around the context and creation of the genre. But today we’re going to have to approach this article from a different perspective. We’re about to talk about the Bronze age of comics, a style and era […]

The Savage Worlds Adventurer’s Guild
Community marketplaces are big business in RPGland these days. The most famous is probably DM’s Guild where anyone can create and sell content created for Dungeons and Dragons 5e.

Hostage to Heritage: A review of Lost Fleet Corsair
Jack Campbell’s Lost Fleet was the first sci-fi military novel I enjoyed. Wait, wait… I’m not saying Lost Fleet was the first sci-fi I enjoyed. Of course not. It’s just that I found the first military variants of the genre I tried to read to be pedantic and uncharismatic. They worried about all sorts of […]
Fortnite Monopoly is coming… think how you can prank the kids
Hasbro has signed a deal with Epic Games to produce a whole range of Fortnite branded goodies. There will be some Fortnite NERG Blasters next year and that’s a great match-up for the franchise. There’s also going to be Monopoly: Fortnite Edition launching in October. I think this is a great idea. Okay, the affinity […]
