[Back this Campaign] I’ve a feeling that Simian Circle Games won’t think too poorly of me for describing the Far Away Land RPG as odd. It’s most certainly odd. If you’re not able to watch the video right now then you have snails rising up to use lasers to defend the land from demon-like creatures. […]

Exclusive: The literary inspirations for The Red Knight and The Fell Sword
Written by Miles Cameron and published by Gollancz, The Fell Sword is the sequel to the highly acclaimed fantasy The Red Knight. Man lives in small patches of civilisation claimed from the Wild. Inside these pockets man leads a life of tournaments, politics and courtly love. Outside the walls man is prey. Last month Gollancz […]
The way of a god: A review of Moon’s Artifice
Moon’s Artifice won me over and I was a converted fan, ready for the sequel, by the end. The odd thing is that the first few chapters in Moon’s Artifice were a bit of a struggle for me. I don’t know why. I immediately liked the characters. I immediately liked the scenes and first whiff […]
Something for Everyone: Dragon Age Asunder by David Gaider
Anyone familiar with the Bioware Dragon Age franchise will be able to anticipate what Asunder by lead writer David Gaider promises to deliver. Having played Origins and Dragon Age II myself, I opened the book prepared to delve into the fantastical political drama and Mage/Templar conspiratorial battlefield explored in the games.

Irregular Reconnaissance: Anime #4
It’s time for an Irregular Reconnaissance: Anime catch up. The holidays have provided some time to catch up on a series or two. Geek Native’s recently looked at part two of Blue Exorcist and Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere but what of those shows that are being watched one episode at a time? In […]
The Crios RPG
[Back this Campaign] Crios is a Kickstarter pitch from Battlefield Press. At the time of posting they’ve raised $1,500+, asking for $3,000 and have about a week to do it. The pitch is pretty good; a mashup of fantasy and World War I action using the Renaissance Deluxe roleplaying game. I suspect they may be […]
War and marriage with werewolves: A review of The Silvered
An empire armed with fledgeling technology; rifles, basic artillery, air balloons and even early cameras invades a nearby country ruled by mages and werewolves. The set up for Tanya Huff‘s The Silvered seems to offer a little for everyone and be designed to lure in gamers. I must admit that the mashup of a setting […]
