Glory! Adventure! Shiny things! RuneQuest: Lankhmar has all these things! And more! . . . Probably! Odds are fair there's other stuff in the book. We, uh, don't have empirical data or anything . . . but, come on, it's a safe bet.

From Creepy Crawly To Stompy Splattery

Posted: March 08, 2007

Without monsters, the Cthulhu Mythos doesn't really hold the same appeal. There'd just be a really foreboding ambiance. Though that might still make you go crazy . . . Regardless, Call of Cthulhu: Malleus Monstrorum has all the Old Ones, Great Ones, and Great Old Ones you could ever possibly need. And then some.

Honorable Mentions

Manticorans. Havenites. You've read the books, you've played the game, you know they love blowing each other up in various and spectacular ways. But what do you really know about them? Their ships, their traditions, their kicky berets? Jayne's Intelligence Review - The Havenite Republican Navy and The Royal Manticoran Navy cover those very things and probably more.

Cannon Fodder Are People Too

Posted: March 06, 2007

We can't all be superheroes. No, some of us have to be the people that run head first into the scene of some villain smashing up city hall, shouting ineffectual things like "Stop!" or "You're under arrest!" or "Argh, it burns my flesh!" Mutants & Masterminds is nice enough to call them Agents of Freedom, but we all know the comic tragedy that is the truth of the situation.

Rome: The Piñata Years

Posted: March 05, 2007

Barbarians are not particularly reasonable folk. They have little respect for requests like "Please don't take all our stuff and burn down our houses." Indeed, that's their favorite pastime. You can find out for yourself just why they like it so much by picking up a copy of Catan Histories: Struggle for Rome. Just don't expect any barbarians to play with you. They're sore losers.

Good For Stompin'

Posted: March 04, 2007

The Godzilla Slippers are perfect companions to a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound. Just don't be surprised if hundreds of teeny soldiers in teeny tanks and teeny airplanes start attacking you with really teeny bullets.

Warehouse 23 Top Ten

Warehouse 23 has posted an updated Top 10 page for February. Check it out, and see what all the cool kids are buying . . .

For King & Cubetry

Posted: March 02, 2007

Y'know how hard it is To Court the King? It ain't just a game of dice. Well . . . okay, actually in this case it kinda is, but, uh . . . it's a really complex game of dice. With, y'know, intrigue 'n stuff.

What's Better Than Rodan?

Posted: March 01, 2007

How about a Rodan . . . on fire! While this Godzilla Origins: Plush Fire Rodan is truly a hot new item, postal regulations are quite firm on their stance of not shipping product that is aflame. Thus, the plush itself is not actually on fire. But a lighter or match will rectify that nicely.

Transcendental Tech

Fantasy is all well and good, but how often does your dwarven cleric get to fly his star cruiser around Jupiter, get attacked by space pirates, have the arm he lost in the fight get a vat-grown replacement (or better yet, a kickin' cyberarm), and then enjoy a nice game of Betelgeuseian Mega-Chess with his AI-controlled nanofriend? Not often, we'd wager. And that's why GURPS Ultra-Tech is way cooler than dwarven clerics.

Truth, Justice, And The Freudian Way

Posted: February 27, 2007

Have commitment issues because supervillians keep kidnapping your fiancé? Repressed emotions regarding filial abandonment causing super-strength-fueled rages through downtown? All those clones giving you identity issues? Fret not, true believer. Dr. Blink, that mild-mannered conqueror of super-psychosis, is here with his first trade paperback: Dr Blink: Superhero Shrink - Id. Ego. Superego!

Something Fishy This Way Comes

Posted: February 26, 2007

Ever feel like a fish out of water? Well, the latest Off the Wall Armies figures are fish out of water! Surely this fortuitous coincidence deserves a celebratory purchase of the above mentioned figures?

Terror Just Got A Lot More . . . Eso

Posted: February 25, 2007

The Esoterrorists aren't your standard issue strap-a-bomb-to-their-chest-and-run-into-a-mall terrorists. No sirree, Bob! These are rip-a-hole-in-the-fabric-of-space-time-and-let-loose-ancient-baby-eating-Evil terrorists. It's cool, though. You get to be beat-up-monsters-while-chasing-down-terrorists-and-writing-convincing-cover-stories investigators.

The Plush With The Power?

Posted: February 24, 2007

Well, he certainly reminds us of someone, anyway. Who do? Plush Sir Didymus do!

Deeply Mysterious

Posted: February 23, 2007

Do you dare delve into the secrets hidden in the mysterious Dirge of the Damned? The secret mysteries and mysterious secrets hidden in this secret, mysterious tome are so, so secret and . . . mysterious that . . . um . . . we really don't know. Ah, but see! Good secret, eh?
