Fated by Serpentfall: A Review of The Day After Ragnarok

March 31, 2015 by Paul Baldowski Leave a Comment

The Day After Ragnarok is a What-If scenario that probably didn’t come up in the early risk assessment sessions of the Second World War. When the Governments and Intelligence Services of the West knuckled down for some blue sky thinking on defeating the Nazi menace, they possibly discounted the possibility of mythical world-consuming serpents. For […]

A Terrible, Indescribable Thing – A Review of Hideous Creatures: Shoggoth

March 12, 2014 by Paul Baldowski Leave a Comment

Long before the gelatinous geometric monstrosities and semi-aware slimes, iridescent and menacing blobs of goo threatened the lives and sanities of those adventurous enough to probe the depths of civilisations past.

A Long Line of Body Snatchers: A Review of Hideous Creatures: Ghouls

January 23, 2014 by Paul Baldowski Leave a Comment

At heart, Ghouls are haunters of the dead, spending their time around the bodies of the deceased, primarily as a source of sustenance, but also seeking out grave goods.

I Want to Believe: A Review of Moon Dust Men

October 3, 2013 by Paul Baldowski Leave a Comment

Trail of Cthulhu has been effectively and efficiently stepping on Call of Cthulhu‘s coattails for a short while now, offering a take on Lovecraft’s unfathomable and otherworldly horror that offers a fresh approach. While Call of Cthulhu‘s percentile system had a tendency to make or break situations where you could kill a trail stone cold […]
