Month: April 2002

According to an email we received, “A number of items of memorablia (many belonging to various Precedence employees) have been listed […] for auction beginning today.” Clicking on the auction link at the top of Precedence’s site should get you there. Sure is sad to see the company go. Someone

Several days in advance of their April 15th release date, Invisible City Productions have added a new freebie to their just-redesigned monthly games page. The new release, Ice Market, is a sci-fi themed real-time trading game in which players take on the roles of crystal-collecting alien dolphins. It’s an interesting-looking

Not play-by-email, no. More like get-played-by-email. Delta Green creator John Tynes‘ “friend” Thomas Prendergast wants to send you some secret email communiques he’s obtained. Hit up his website for the details. (No, the upcoming Delta Green computer game isn’t going to be anything like Majestic. Thanks for asking, though.)

Poking through EN World‘s community news turns up something interesting every once in a while. If you have a copy of Inquisitor, which is already pretty darned close to a 40K role-playing game, and a copy of the Dragonstar Starfarer’s Handbook, this site will hook them (and you) up. From

To start the week off right, we’ve got three brand new reviews up for you. First, there’s Demian’s look at Arrowflight, the new fantasy RPG from Deep 7. Then, to continue the examination of Deep7 products, Matthew gives us a review covering two items, Dime Heroes and Jungle Adventures. Finally,

Green Ronin‘s about to bust out all over store shelves near you: Shaman’s Handbook, Armies of the Abyss, and Freeport: City of Adventure (with the highly detailed map I keep mentioning) have all gone to distributors earlier this week. Meanwhile, the manuscript for Secret College of Necromancy is going into

And then there’s KillaCampaigns, a web application for storing and sharing characters and other campaign data and handouts. I’m still trying to figure out precisely what’s going on in there, but it looks like it might be useful. But then, if my players have a harder time figuring it out

Troll Lord Games announced The Hermit, a new D20 module by Gary Gygax. The world still has yet to see The Canting Crew, the previously announced rogueish sourcebook by Gygax. Does the old master still have it? The Hermit will apparently borrow a trick from Atlas’ Coriolis line, providing rules

With the Warchon PBG at the printers (no, that’s Playmark Book Game, not Peanut Butter and Gummi bears), Z-Man Games wanted to give the gaming community a pre-release taste of the upcoming game system. To that end, a PDF Warchon demo is available for all to peruse. With a little

Citizen Games has just announced the addition of Gareth-Michael Skarka as their Mafia Line Developer. You know Gareth, right? He designed Underworld, the original Hong Kong Action Theatre! and has freelanced for several other systems. Well, now he’ll be guiding the Mafia Role Playing Game, which, as the press release

We’ve been busy lurking in the background for a while, but we’re starting April’s barrage of new OgreCave tidbits with an interview and a review. First, Demian gets some answers out of Deep7 Publishing, the folks responsible for Arrowflight, the 1PG RPGs, and the upcoming Red Dwarf RPG. Then Matthew

The latest monthly free game from Invisible City Productions is up and ready to be played. Syzygy, “the game of lunar connections,” is a board game in which players travel around (or on) the moons of Jupiter, trying to position themselves so that they can gain energy from lunar confluences.
