Honey Heist
The H.I.V.E. agents were slumming it, really. They stood at the gates waving in cars, handing out lanyards to retailers, entertainers and convention-goers. A car pulled up with a honey badger lying on the roof, one paw doing its best to keep a top hat in place. “Show me your pass,” one of the agents […]
Spire Preview: Blood and Dust
Lozlyn runs through the streets of Redrow, in a mad panic. The guards are knocking on doors, getting closer to his squat in a crappy tenement building. Across the road a man who built his religion around a firearm shouts obscenities at people for assumed wrongs. His armour belches out smog and his daughters threaten […]
Catch the Moon
Catch the Moon is a… Damn. Catch the Moon is an interesting little dexterity game which… Catch the Moon is a dexterity game. And sometimes I wonder why I do these things. I am dyspraxic. Quick comparisons are to having lag between my brain and my body. My spatial coordination is horrendous, as are […]

One Ugly Motherfucker
By Erika Chappell and Newstand Press Sometimes a role-playing game can be deep, interesting, introspective. There have been projects like Trump/Putin which show how the ludicrous can seem worryingly real. Heads of State talks about dictators and living under them. TERPS tells us about military interpreters working for an occupying force. Then you get the weird […]
Trump/Putin
Trump/Putin A Ginger Goat game by Todd Crapper and Chelsea Hamilton Review copy provided by Josh Jordan. I was Donald Trump this weekend, and I may have helped Russia invade Canada. People sometimes say that comics, films and other media should stay out of politics. They should ‘just be entertainment’. The thing is, we […]
