Between the Shadow and the Light: Review of The Darkening of Mirkwood
The Darkening of Mirkwood recounts an impressive and engaging tale of the Wilderland, encompassing all the many peoples, factions and powers of the region. The fate of Mirkwood itself lies within the richly illustrated pages of this volume, drawn from an incredibly brief source… Now, I hate to sound like some stereotypical teacher stood ramrod […]
If you find yourself in a hole…: Review of Medicine Man, for the Doctor Who RPG
If you have access to the whole of time and space with this machine of yours, how come you always end up chasing down the same stretch of corridor? While the average episode of Doctor Who contains the events and storyline of a finite space, often to keep the story focussed and the budgets within […]
Baby, It’s Cold Outside: A Review of Dramascape’s Ice Base Nivayohce
The nature of tabletop gaming means that sometimes you only need your imagination, and other times you need a map. For whatever reason, a simple description of where you are won’t cut the mustard, because that doesn’t tell you whether you can stealth round the back of the guard and catch him with your stub […]
Trove of Lost Hopes: A Review of Tomb of Rils
Treasures heaped so high they’d make a golden dragon weep. A gamemaster can sometimes find such a potential trove, not in the fictional content of some forgotten dungeon, but in the words, setting and ingenuity of a written adventure. Other times, you might come across something more commonplace and uncover a gem or two – […]
Review of “Stark’s Command”
Stark’s Command, by Jack Campbell writing as John G. Hemry, is the second book is his series following the military adventures of the titular protagonist. Consequently this is my obligatory[i] SPOILER WARNING that this review references events that occurred in the first book. If you have yet to read Stark’s War (i.e. the first book) […]
I Can Has Numenera: A Review of Celestial Wisdom
A billion years from now, the Internet will still dominate our lives – but there will almost certainly be a lot less in the way of cat pictures, food porn, and spam sites about all-natural male enhancement… Numenera – Monte Cook’s runaway roleplaying Kickstarter success story of 2013 – works well when hitting upon themes […]
Humanity as the aggressive aliens: A review of Valour’s Choice
I was cautious. I had recently read and thoroughly enjoyed Tanya Huff’s werewolf and mage drama The Silvered and now found myself with Tanya Huff’s military sci-fi Valour’s Choice. I like sci-fi but fantasy seems to have an easier job of pleasing me. I was cautious because I was struggling to believe Valour’s Choice would […]
Guess What’s Coming to Dinner: Reviewing The Esoterror Summoning Guide
The Membrane is a border between our reality and the Outer Dark, a dimension filled with terrors and darkness. The Esoterrorists, a scattered and ill-organised group of occultists and outright mad men, work tirelessly to tear down that barrier between worlds to loose the floodgates to ultimate power. Unfortunately, this very act will open our […]
Great Deeds of Cruelty and Derring-do: A Review of the Fate Freeport Companion
Blacksand, Babylon 5, Ankh Morpork, Mos Eisley… Sometimes, to say ‘Any Port in a Storm‘ is simply an uncomplicated fact. When life or the weather get choppy and you need to find somewhere to shelter or hide out, then a port will likely have all you need. Because all forms of life tend to end […]
