Keeping our reviews rolling, Joe gives us his take on Interludes: Brief Expeditions to Bluffside (PDF version) by Thunderhead Games. As the full Bluffside: City on the Edge sourcebook heads to stores, what better way to decide if you plan to buy than a review of the introductory adventure? I

In a post on his website, Monte Cook gives a “thumbs up” to d20 Call of Cthulhu, which he’s seen an early copy of (makes sense – he co-wrote it). I’ve seen an earlier draft that was lurking around Chaosium, and if that version is any indication, the final book

An unconfirmed rumor can get you a long way in gaming journalism, wherein most reporters are doing their work after business hours and can’t call you for a confirmation. We’re no different here at the Cave, but GamingReport does tell us that Precedence Entertainment is going under. If true, this

Under an agreement with Fantasy Flight Games, Mystic Eye Games and Thunderhead Games will both be publishing adventures for FFG’s science-fantasy d20 System setting, Dragonstar. So FFG will be able to concentrate on the core d20 books they’ve been doing so well with, and two companies that are known for

So I got everything put together, filling the room with a mild odor of super glue in the process. Although one of my Ronin looks a bit like he has to pee and is holding it in, the pose on the other is quite appealing. Modeling these guys was not

Wayne Densley just announced the release of a special edition of his first online fantasy gamebook in the Chronicles of Arborell series. This expanded version of Windhammer features revised rules, 155 new sections and other changes based largely on reader feedback. Its sequel, the somewhat delayed Earth and Stone, is

Deep7 has just announced a partnership with Three-Sixty Publishing.

Yes, drooling Cthulhu fanatics, Chaosium has finally answered your fevered prayers by announcing a 15th Anniversary Edition of Arkham Horror. Set for a late Summer/Fall 2002 release, demo games are already planned for Origins and GenCon this year. The infamous Cthulhu boardgame of monster hunting and insanity has been highly

Not only does today’s Daily Illuminator announce the shipment of Robin’s Laws of Good Gamemastering, a general guide to GMing by the renowned designer, new editions of Chez Geek and GURPS Horror, a Deadlands-branded Frag (is there a Wild West FPS they could have grabbed the license for?), the first

Until now, Pinnacle had been sticking to their guns by saying there would be no conversion rules to take original Deadlands across to Deadlands D20. But next Tuesday, Pinnacle will finally relent and give conversion guidelines to players new and old. Shane Hensley described the rules as they’re shaping up

Joe delves into the fortress and its surroundings in our new review of Castle Dunmere, a d20 adventure from Citizen Games. What evil lurks in the heart of the castle? I ain’t tellin’ — but Joe is. Go take a look.

The crime-ridden district of Freeport known as Scurveytown is detailed in Green Ronin‘s online preview of Freeport: City of Adventure. The three-page preview describes things such as the Beggar’s Market, and Krom’s Throat, a rather unsavory orc bar that requires hosing down each morning. The preview, combined with the reports

Hot on the heels of the last one, Rio Grande Games has released another newsletter! It elaborates on Dragonland and Clash of the Gladiators (both of which turn out to be Reiner Knizia designs), and it also describes a previously unmentioned (if memory serves) April release: Pizarro & Co., a

Having to glue things together sucks. I mean, sure, I’m spoiled, wargames, uphill in the snow, yada blah foo. Maybe it’s just the plastic that’s giving me trouble. I tried to separate the little tank and airplane units, the ones that don’t require any gluing, and found that the connections

Once again, Matthew dives into a d20 supplement to give us the skinny. This time, it’s Backdrops from our friends at Atlas Games. How does a book of two-page city settings fare in Matthew’s estimation? Click over and have a look. The Penumbra line is coming along quite well, I’d
