DriveThruRPG GM’s Day Sale Russian Roulette
Oh DriveThruRPG, what has become of you? Are you no better than any given app store? Than Steam? I use DriveThruRPG for a lot of my RPG purchases because who has physical space anymore? Most Kickstarter RPGs I fund redeem their PDFs through DriveThru, as do the Bundle of Holding deals which I love so much. […]
Witch: The Road to Lindisfarne
By Kevin Barthaud & Richard Lacy It’s said in writing that if you want to make things dramatic then you should have your character or characters conflicting against two of three things: the world, another character or themselves. Role-playing games often focus on the first two. You’re a bunch of adventurers taking down some bastard […]
Ghost Lines
Previously I’ve reviewed Lady Blackbird by John Harper. It was a kind of skypunk riff on Star Wars style narratives with players on the run from an evil empire. It had spaceships, vague magical powers and sky whales. Okay, Star Wars didn’t have sky whales, but it should have. I’m off track, which is bad […]

A Real Game
This is a weird one to review. It’s like trying to review The Stanley Parable or The Beginner’s Guide (which I actually did. I’m drawn to these games and they’re so tricky to articulate. A Real Game is free and all you need to do is print it out in order. Try not to […]

Five Games to Help Prepare you for our Inevitable Apocalyptic Future
Recently I wrote an article about five games to help cheer you up given the terrible year we’ve had. The thing is, the events are probably not isolated to 2016. I’m not saying that we’re going to be The Road immediately, but it’s probably going to happen. The Quiet Year By Avery Alder and Buried […]
Five Uplifting Games To Help You Survive The Tattered Remnants of 2016
It’s been a rough year. From Bowie’s death to Brexit, the US elections and what feels like a million other horrible things. I’ve had my own horrendous personal experiences separate to all of that which have added to the horrors of 2016. I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling kind of done with relentlessly […]
