Break Out or Fall Out: review of Behind the Walls for Fate Core

May 7, 2015 by Paul Baldowski Leave a Comment

Evil Hat Production has leveraged the power of Patreon and burgeoning support for Fate Core material to crank out some top notch supplements and adventures for their game. Unlike crowd-funding, which drives people to contribute toward a lump sum, the Patreon-model supports ongoing and regular content. Evil Hat has used this regularly ‘income’ to draft […]

Burn, Baby, Burn: A Porphyry – World of the Burn Review

September 10, 2013 by Paul Baldowski 2 Comments

I had a strange experience at UK Games Expo, in Birmingham, earlier this year. While running a demo game, the voices at the next table frequently erupted in uproarious laughter and bubbling exuberance mildly disrupting our ability to hold cross-table conversation. At the end of my session, I checked with the neighbouring GM to see what […]

A Billion Years in the Making: A Numenera RPG Review

September 4, 2013 by John Lewis 3 Comments

The first offering from Monte Cook Games is the ultra far-future, science fantasy RPG, Numenera. Although Mr. Cook is best known for his work with the D20 System and the Dungeons & Dragons RPG, Numenera utilizes a completely new system designed with a focus on storytelling and bringing this unique setting to life. Although Numenera […]

Mechanical Dragon for Pure Steam RPG

December 28, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This mechanical dragon was shared by BomarrPunk on reddit. The illustration is by Alejandro Lee for the steampunk RPG Pure Steam. BomarrPunk was asked what the status of the game was. This was his response; We are in backers-only beta playtesting right now. Once our beta doc is cleaned up, we’re posting it on Paizo.com […]

Game of Thrones: Winter trailer

December 23, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ve had teasers for Atlus’s forthcoming Game of Thrones computer RPG already – such as The Wall. This latest video from the studio is longer and is rather more of a trailer than a teaser. It’s simply called “Winter”. The trailer introduces the game, planting the action firmly in the drama we already know and […]

Heroes of Ruin walkthrough and teaser

October 30, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Heroes of Ruin looks like it might be one to watch. I choose not to be alarmed by the fact that’s a game for the 3DS; after all, I can turn the 3D off (well; I could if I had a 3DS). The strength of Heroes of Ruin on the Nintendo 3DS is in the […]

Fffuuu says: Merchants in RPGs are greedy buggers

August 24, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think this ffffuuu-style comic is 100% true. There’s no doubt in this blogger’s mind that this is exactly how merchants, traders and shop owners behave in computer RPGs. I suspect merchants and traders might try this approach in some traditional tabletop RPGs too! What do you think?

Baptism of Fire review

May 19, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Baptism of Fire is a World War II RPG. The book, available from Amazon, weighs in at 354 pages and makes use of the d20 system. If you’re a fan of military RPGs then it’s certainly worth looking at and I’ll risk the prediction that you’ll end up buying it. The advantage of the d20 […]
