07/04. Musings and reviews for the Fourth
If you take a break from Fourth of July revelry, we've got distractions for you. Sandy has thought ahead a bit, and asks Who will get .RPG? A small set of new reviews have gone up as well. Enjoy the holiday! |
07/03. Inside the ring, sort of
Today's Wushu Skidoo ventures into dark territory, in Ujigami. And be sure to congratulate all of our Fantasy Review Week winners! We'll have another theme week sometime soonish. |
07/02. Your midweek dose
A couple of new reviews have come in, but non-RPGs they ain't. Enjoy, all the same. |
07/01. July, and leadership
Even in Dormitories & Dragons, the issue of Leadership must be addressed. So we're taking care of that today. That concludes this nonsensical intro. |
06/30. Not over the top, but still bad
Subtle Evil is today's topic - by the end of the week, we may have a full-blown evil overlords, but no promises. A pair of new reviews are up as well. |

RPG Review: Curriculum of Conspiracy (2008) by The Unshaven
A detailed setting in which many different styles of campaigns can be set, but loses much of the blackly comedic elements that have distinguished the Monsters and Other Childish Things line. |
RPG Review: CZ9: The East Mark Gazetteer (2007) by Merric Blackman
"The Mouths of Madness"... or "The Caves of Chaos"? A preview of what is to come in Castle Zagyg! |
RPG Review: RuneQuest Deluxe (2007) by Lev Lafayette
The three-in-one publication is a welcome compendium to the Mongoose RuneQuest line. The general game system is good but suffers from numerous, and sometimes serious, glitches. Stylistically average the book is reads well, but without flair. |
RPG Review: Labyrinth Lord (2007) by Will Mistretta
Labyrinth Lord is a restatement of classic D&D rules from the early 80s. For my money, it's the most elegant complete version of the game ever published, and in a new, snazzy package, to boot. |
RPG Review: Robotech The Shadow Chronicles Role-Playing Game (2008) by Jochen Wenzel
Plain layout, crappy organisation, average writing and sloppy editing mated to dated and clunky concepts and mechanics not really suited to emulate the cinematic feel of Robotech. Caveat emptor. |
