The Wyld Hunt (Agency Case Files) review

March 9, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

I really enjoyed The Wyld Hunt. It’s a bit of a challenge to find a genre that satisfies; cyberpunk meets noir? That’s close but there’s almost Dune like sci-fi in the background and elements of horror, even Lovecraft inspired horror, just lurking in the background. Agent John Aries works in a far future London in […]

The claim was denied, passions and tempers rose, arguments flooded into RPG forums and no one will thank me for […]
