Irregular Reconnaissance: Comic Books #5
It’s been a busy month of comic book reading for me. For the most part this is made possible by a shiny new Nexus 7 tablet (hmm, comics in HD) and the inability to sleep. I wonder if the two are connected? In Irregular Reconnaissance I take the chance to write up some of these […]
Top RPGs this summer: Pathfinder top, D&D third and Fate Core new in fifth
ICv2 have released their 2013 summer research into the best-selling RPGs. This list is put together from interviews with retailers, distributors and manufactures.

TradeCraft Bonus: Badges from dead RPGS
Greenfield Games has an Etsy store with an unusual collection of pib buttons – or badges as we’d say in the UK. They’re not reprints of copyright artwork.

From classic films like The Ladykillers and The Italian Job, to modern TV series like Hustle or Leverage, these tales see clever ploys and cons honed to an art form. With the right combination of talent and the resources, you can turn […]
Threat Tree Analysis: A Review of Exotic Encounters – Treants
The menace of a darkened wood has figured for generations in stories told to children or around the camp fire. No doubt these takes intend to set boundaries and instil a sense of caution about the power and uncertainty of nature, to highlight the terrible fates that might befall those who venture too far into […]
Playing the Game: A Review of Purple Duck Storeroom – Arbakampsi
World creation can command a lot of time and attention to get real depth. Most people don’t really account for the minutiae and the ephemera – the little things and words that add colour and substances to a two-dimensional world. Then again, most GMs simply don’t have the time to worry about that level of […]
