New Reviews: Death & Hardnova
At the start of a new week, we’ve got two more reviews for you. Merwin stares deep into the abyss with Death: Guardian at the Gate by Dark Quest Games. As if that weren’t enough, Demian provides the scoop on Hardnova from Politically Incorrect Games. Have a look at both and see if our staff’s thoughts urge you to spend your entertainment dollars, or save them for a video rental.

New Review: Book of More Flesh
Merwin was so moved by Eden Studios‘ zombie fiction anthology, The Book of More Flesh, that he composed OgreCave’s first song. Yeah, you heard me. Sing along! Just follow the bouncing corpse. Don’t let it bite you, though.

New Review: Construct Mechanus
Frank brings his first contribution to the Cave’s hoard of reviews, as he takes a look at Construct Mechanus from Philip J. Reed. Will the d20 supplement function as a well-oiled machine in his game sessions, or be left to rust on the shelf? Have a look and find out.

Way of the Witch review
Joe hits us with a review of Citizen Games‘ Way of the Witch sourcebook. Only the second D20 book about witches that we’ve reviewed… I think.

New Review: St. Anton’s Fire
I’ve been out of town all day, so this is going up a bit late, but today’s review is still worth noting. Demian’s dire warnings about St. Anton’s Fire by Troll Lord Games are meant to save you. Why did he find the adventure to be lacking? Read on to find out.

New Review (& New Year): 1000 Faces
For our first review of the year, Cedric gives us a look inside 1000 Faces: Villains & Scoundrels by Citizen Games. This NPC resource is packed with characters, and Cedric tells us exactly how useful they are. This also kicks off our resolution to have new reviews every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Have a look at our first one of the year, and check back often for more.

New Review: Rookie’s Guide to Criminal Organisations
To start this year ending/beginning week off right, Matthew brings us his evaluation of The Rookie’s Guide to Criminal Organisations by Mongoose Publishing. I keep wanting to correct the British spelling of that last word in the title, but the publisher’s from the UK (and so is the reviewer), so I’ll restrain myself. Have a look and see what Matthew’s judgement was.

Preview & Review: Beyond the Walls & Armada X
We’ve got two new reviews to get you through the weekend. First, Joe’s had a pre-release sneak peak at Foul Locales: Beyond the Walls, a cool new d20 supplement coming out soon from Mystic Eye Games. From Joe’s description, MEG’s got another winner I’ll be waiting in line for when it reaches stores. Also, Demian gives us his thoughts on Armada X, the last release from ThreeSixty Publishing before it closed up shop earlier this month. What did he like or dislike about the game? Ain’t tellin’. You’ll have to read it to find out.

Greenrock Review Posted
We’ve got a new review up, this time from our news cohort Demian. Go take a look at what he had to say about The Secret at Greenrock, a d20 adventure from Citizen Games. I’ve already read what Demian had to say, and for some odd reason, I got the impression he didn’t like it.
