Take It On The Qin

Posted: February 22, 2007

Ancient Chinese backdrop? Check. Massive conflict determining the fate of a nation? Check. Four thousand pounds of butt-kicking action in a five-pound bag? Check. Qin: The Warring States probably has other merits, but it hits the Big Three and that's what's important.

Just Add Players

Posted: February 21, 2007

Mmmm, just like the preserves Mother used to . . . wait, did you say canned adventures? Oh. Uh, then we heartily recommend a duo of Diomin delectables: Danger in the City of Immer and Outpost Qether. Sorry for the mix-up. Nearly lunch time, y'see.

Ready, Steady, Go?

Tsuro is a race, and yet you do not want to finish first. How zen is that?

Once, Twice . . .

Posted: February 19, 2007

Three times a magical, school-aged, chosen-of-the-gods, psychic, gender-swapping, super-strong, robot, maid, martial artist from another world living in an alternate history. Sorry. Big Eyes, Small Mouth just hit edition number three, and while that certainly explains the mental image the above "joke" produces, it certainly doesn't excuse it. Our apologies.

Give 'Em Somethin' To Talk About

Posted: February 18, 2007

Where: Covered

Posted: February 16, 2007

It won't help you with who, what, when, how, or why, but when it comes to where . . . oh yeah. The Ptolus Vinyl Map has "where" in spades. It's got "where" flying out in every direction. There's so much "where" here that the sturdy cardboard tube the map is packed in just might not hold. Yes, a colossal plenteousness of "where" is just waiting to be had.

Destiny, Honor, And Other Junk

It takes a lot more than just big eyes and a small mouth to survive the frenetic world of Anima: Shadow of Omega. It also helps to have courage, cunning, and a sword the size of a Buick.

Now Serving #37

Posted: February 14, 2007

In case you missed it the first thirty-six times, Dungeon Crawl Classics #37: The Slithering Overlord is here to let you know that, yes, old-school dungeon crawling is still alive and well. Figuratively speaking, anyway. Everything involved with the crawl itself is either quite dead or was looted for its magical properties.

This, Too, Shall Be About Cults

Posted: February 13, 2007

One volume is not nearly enough to cover the strange and varied (and sometimes strangely varied) cults of Glorantha. No! There must be a second volume. A RuneQuest: Cults of Glorantha Volume 2, if you will. Then, and only then, shall there be enough room to satiate their culty egos.

Ready, Set, Sengoku!

Posted: February 12, 2007

It would seem that some tiny wooden blocks have grown weary of being ruled by the land-owning aristocracy. These tiny wooden blocks rose up and and made a big fuss, and now the game board is divided into various warring zones. Shogun: the fun game of murderously violent tiny wooden blocks.

Hi, My Name Is . . .

Posted: February 11, 2007

Mr. Drug-Addled, Laser Machete Wielding Sociopath. Since it's a well-known fact that utopia is as boring as a beige wall in a mime school, Cyberpunk: Gang Book is just the "dys" your "topia" needs to keep things interesting.

Why So Glum, Chum?

Posted: February 09, 2007

Life got ya down? No hope in sight? Do you feel an unreasonable, uncontrollable desire to paint every red door you see black? Well turn that frown upside-down, because you can project your worries away on the latest Gloom expansion, Unwelcome Guests! And if you were so busy wallowing that you missed it first time around, Unhappy Homes is back!

Lost In The Desert

Posted: February 08, 2007

A pop-culture reference from a decade ago goes here. It is followed by a lame tie-in to the featured product, Talisman: Sands of Al-Kalim. Low-brow toilet humor, sexual innuendo, or a cheap shot at d20 follows. A thinly veiled attack on the customer's taste (or the product's premise) brings up the rear. Lip service is paid to our Secret Masters at the end. Normally, you're not cleared to see that part. .
