Tetresque

Posted: April 19, 2006

We play with blocks when we're young. It probably helps build our concept of spatial relationships or something. But mostly, it's just fun. Rumis is, perhaps, a little more complicated than alphabet blocks, but it's exponentially funner. Really. We did the math.

Thrust! Parry! Retort!

Guns are so sloppy, what with the bullets and the shell casings and the big wound channel and all that kinetic energy. Plus, a gunfight is much too loud and far too fast to allow for a wry remark about your opponent. True romance is found in the elegant and flashy killing of people with swords. En Garde!

Now With 50% Less Star

Wars: Battlefront was once described as "a supplement for Wars that contains additional rules and setting information, giving players a deeper look into the solar system of 2391." Well, now it's twice been described like that.

A Party Moves On Its Bloodlust

Let's face it, if it's fantasy roleplaying, it's probably centered around the wholesale slaughter of things that go "ARGH!" in the night. A Magical Society: Beast Builder keeps your rampaging players satiated with all manner of custom-built baddies.

Okay, so tuberculosis isn't a virus, but it is pretty cute when you blow it up to a million times its usual size and make it out of a soft, fuzzy material. The GIANTmicrobes: Plush Tuberculosis is just such a product.

In Cars

Just because you're sitting inside the thing that makes you feel safest of all doesn't mean that rocketing down a back road in the middle of the night at 100 mph isn't a recipe for Brain Inside-Out Cake. If you find yourself with a need for speed, put down the keys and pick up Street Illegal. Your various, squishy body parts will thank you.

Always Bet On Black

The Black Knight Casino is the perfect place for your modern-age d20 characters to relax, unwind, and lose every last cent they have playing roulette. Or they could, you know, do something that's actually interesting. Like rob the place. And isn't a good heist really what roleplaying is all about?

The City Of Adventure Times 3.5

Posted: April 12, 2006

Revised, collected, and expanded, Freeport: The Freeport Trilogy is an epic adventure for piddling heroes. At the beginning, at least. They get stronger, of course. If they survive. Muh-heh. Mua-hah. Mua ha ha ha hah!

The Power Is Yours

Have Fun Storming The Castle

Rogues. In. Spaaaaace!

Prime Directive d20: Romulans provides the world of roleplaying with the one thing it's been lacking all these years: a book about Romulans as seen through the polyhedral eyes of d20. Keep 'em in space or drop them in a dungeon. Either way, hilarity is bound to ensue.

Really Hard Rain

Posted: April 08, 2006

When rocks fell out of the sky, most of the cities got very flat very quickly. Not the appropriately named city of Edge, however. No sir, this city is now the world's premiere trading post. Pretty much by default, in fact . . . anyway, if you're playing DragonMech, you need the skinny on DragonMech: The Last City.

Sit. Stay. Disembowel.

Part dog, part xenomorph, the Alien Dog Chestburster Plush Replica is the cuddliest way to tell friends and loved ones "our dog was impregnated by an evil monster from outer space and I'm not afraid to harbor its young, caring for it until it grows eight feet tall and brutally slays us all."

Because Utopia Would Be Boring

Posted: April 06, 2006

Let's face it, the only towns worth adventuring in are the ones where a tourist's life expectancy is measured in minutes. Dungeon Crawl Classics #20: Shadows in Freeport recognizes this, exploits it, and gives your characters something to do besides weaving baskets in the peaceful elven city of Snoozeville.
