A post-historic age RPG: The Chronicles of Future Earth

September 28, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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 […]

A sense of wonder in SF roleplaying games

December 1, 2015 by Guest Writer 2 Comments

Author Sarah Newton talks about what should really be at the heart of SF RPGs: the sense of wonder, and the conflict of great ideas. Sarah’s company, Mindjammer Press, is running a Kickstarter campaign, currently approaching x3 funding, for the next phase of the transhuman RPG. [Back this Campaign] A sense of wonder in SF […]

Mind blowing: Mindjammer Roleplaying Game review

February 21, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

Space is big. Mindjammer is bigger. This review is based on the Thoughtcast Edition of the game which is available already to those roleplayers who preordred the game. Author Sarah Newton tells me it is 99.x% of the final game; with just some typos and textboxes to fill. I didn’t notice and I’ll tell you […]

OSR, Monsters & Magic: Sarah Newton discusses her new RPG and the state of RPG

June 12, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Mindjammer Press operator Sarah Newton has a new RPG about to land. Monsters & Magic promises to be an OSR game that’s backwards compatible with those mighty old school adventures you already own. It’s a new game but it’s old school. Sarah kindly agreed to an interview with Geek Native in which we talked about […]

The new Monsters & Magic RPG fuels the Old School Renaissance fire

March 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Mindjammer Press, co-founded by author Sarah Newton, has struck a deal with Chronicle City to print the new RPG Monsters & Magic. The deal very firmly rides the Old School Renaissance. The “OSR” is a nostalgia for the old style of RPGs, with a tighter focus on heroic dungeon adventures, quick character creation and game […]

A Mindjammer review

February 27, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I like the science in science fiction. That’s why I like sci-fi, especially gritty sci-fi but rarely those stories set so far in the future that technology seems like magic. Mindjammer is a far future sci-fi. Mankind has explored all across the universe and populated many planets. The expansion fragmented and mankind was left to […]
