Matthew’s brought us a pre-release look at CyborGladiators by Firefly Games. I got to test out the game at last October’s RPGnet Game Day: Oakland, and ended up losing a limb, then the combat to a really tough insectoid. The book’s at the printer right now, so see what you

OgreCave review: Torches & Pitchforks
Matthew has gone out monster hunting in Torches & Pitchforks by Green Ronin. He’s reported back on the stylish card game, and gives us his verdict in his latest review. Have a look.
OgreCave Reviews: Deathtrap Dungeon
Demian has brought us his analysis of Deathtrap Dungeon from Myriador Ltd. So how did the classic Fighting Fantasy gamebook turn out when translated to the d20 System? Have a read and find out.
WarCraft: The Board Game reviewed
My playtest report just kept getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger, so I decided it was a review. Some aspects of play are sketched out only briefly, but I’ll be playing this one again (watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat – this time for sure!), so I’ll
OgreCave review: The Penguin Ultimatum
Demian’s got a new card game review for us, appropriate for the long winter months ahead. The Penguin Ultimatum by Eight Foot Llama. Sounds like a company that could give an ogre a run for his money.
New review: Den (& Rival Den) of Thieves
Demian provides a look inside the two latest Rogue Publishing card games, Den of Thieves and Rival Den of Thieves. The backstabbing, fast-and-loose game and its sequel seem to have made a good impression on him.
New review: Twilight of Atlantis
Matthew gives us a look at another cheesecake-wrapped d20 supplement from Avalanche Press, and doesn’t seem to have been impressed by this one. In fact, his review of Twilight of Atlantis points out everything the book should have included, but didn’t. Sad, really.
New reviews: Snow Witch, Signs, & Buffy
I’m tempted to declare it Matthew Monday due to all the reviews he’s sent in that are up today. First, he tells us about the d20 adaptation of Caverns of the Snow Witch by Myriador Ltd. Then he regales us with the ups and downs of Signs & Portents #1,
OgreCave reviews: X-Bugs & Nanofictionary
Now that the GenCon hullabaloo has settled down a bit, we’ve got two new reviews for you. First, Matthew tells us a bit about this year’s GenCon UK and a lot about X-Bugs: Microscopic Mayhem by Steve Jackson Games. Then Cedric gives us his take on storytelling games, particularly Nanofictionary
OgreCave Review: Highthrone
Cedric’s survived his finals, and now that he can concentrate on more important matters, has sent in his review of Highthrone by Mongoose Publishing. What grade did he bestow upon the intriguing city supplement? I ain’t tellin’. Find out for yourself.
OgreCave Review: Dynasties & Demagogues
Merwin’s here to argue his case on Dynasties & Demagogues from Atlas Games. I’m sure he’ll be using the political debate rules the d20 supplement offers in the process, too, so watch yourselves.
OgreCave Reviews: Ultimate Equipment & Medusas
Two more Mongoose reviews have crawled out looking for readers today. First, Colin provides us with his thoughts on the Ultimate Equipment Guide and all the goodies therein. Then Orion enlightens us as to the contents of the Slayer’s Guide to Medusas, which he had a long look at and
OgreCave Review: Enchantment
Continuing our Mongoose Publishing focus this week, Joe brings us a look at Enchantment: Fire in the Mind. Did the Fire burn and send Joe packing, or did it warm his soul as a gamemaster? Read on to find out.
OgreCave Review: Slayer’s Guide to Duergar
Mongoose Week continues with Joe’s review of Slayer’s Guide to Duergar. These dwarves of the deep caves made for an interesting read, and Joe’s got the breakdown of what makes this d20 supplement work so well. We’ll be picking up the pace with several more Mongoose product reviews as the
Mongoose Week at OgreCave
We kick off a week long look at Mongoose Publishing today with a new interview. Find out what the men of Mongoose are up to and what’ll be gracing your shelf in the months ahead. Also, Joe’s provided our first review of the week, appropriately themed to accompany our Mongoose
