have announced that they’ll be following up the release of their Tri-Stat System superhero RPG with a D20 version in time for Gen Con. If I were them, I’d pull a Godlike and throw them both in the same edition, but maybe Godlike’s presence in the same genre is a

The first of the Four Horsemen has been found. In Canada. Some might remember WizKids Games‘ Find the Four Horsemen Contest. The basics of it are that WizKids has made a very few Mage Knight figures of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. Wizkids put

I found this thread over at the EN World forums. The situation is that recently a law banning all Roleplaying Games from the Brazilian City of Vila Velha was approved and signed into law despite the best efforts of a gamer named Tiago. There is an attempt to invalidate the

So I actually got to play the Warhammer 40,000 CCG last night. It’s hard to describe why this game feels innovative, because it does, despite the fact that the tactics and battle mechanics all feel ripped out of other games, which themselves were not that innovative. I haven’t wanted to

As the new guy this’ll be my first post. Let’s hope I don’t break anything. 🙂 At R.Talsorian Games a recent rant by Lisa updates the status of a number of RTG products. Most noticeable is the delay (again) of Cyberpunk V.3. The reason given being creator Mike Pondsmith’s 12-hour

The Penny Games site has released a new free game: Alien Abduction, an entry in the Unequal Forces board game competition. This two-player strategy game pits a human player controlling two genetically-enhanced and well-armed individuals against a legion of replicating little alien monsters. You can play it with Chess and

Hard to get my mind around the idea that I’ll be thirty in less than two hours. Hoo-boy. Anyway… This week, Atlas Games brings on the norsemen again with Enter the Viking, an 80-page sourcebook for Rune. With “ten cushion encounters and a plot encounter sequence,” the vikings in your

GROG stands for “Guide du Roliste Galactique” – “Roleplayer’s Guide to the Galaxy,” according to the press release. It also nicely suggests “grognard,” a French term long used to describe hardcore wargamers, but that’s neither here nor there. The point is that the nominees for the Grog d’Or, an award

The May issue of Dungeon/Polyhedron dares to go back to the Spelljammer setting, revised for the D20 System. The 46-page section details prestige classes, feats, skills, equipment, different uses for spells, several planets, and a bunch of spelljamming ships to cruise through space in. But some of the stranger parts

Mongoose Publishing has announced details of the first book in their Encyclopedia Divine series, Shaman, due out in May. This seems to mirror the style of the Encyclopedia Arcane series, introducing new magic theories and prestige classes. The second in the Divine series, Fey Magic, will follow in June. As

This August, Atlas Games will bring Nyambe: African Adventures to the d20 System. According to today’s press release, the 256-page book (16 of which in full color) will have a variety of goodies. I’ll give you their PR laundry list on it; too many weirdly spelled words for me: Twelve

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
