Apparently, there are some words in The Slayer’s Guide to Amazons too, and if you’d rather someone else read them for you, we’ve got you covered. Hence, Matthew Pook hits you with a review. You’re welcome. WH40K CCG FAQ – Well, Actually Just Rules, But How Could I Not Type
Decipher To Lose Star Wars Licence
While the RPG department at Decipher gains momentum by the day, it looks like their CCG department is having its legs cut out from beneath it. On the company’s website today, Decipher CEO Warren Holland provided extensive quotes from a July 2000 presentation made to Lucasfilm executives. The quotes were
Dancing and Darkspyre
Matthew has given us two more d20 reviews to round out the year with. The first is The Last Dance, a ghostly mystery of an adventure from Atlas Games. Our second review is of Assault on Darkspyre from Hammerdog Games, wherein the players help bring down an archmage’s fortress because
Time Machine Returns
I just learned on the gamebook mailing list that the wonderful Time Machine series of interactive books has been re-released in eBook format. Although aimed at children, these are among the most effectively-written and interesting of the many “Choose Your Own Adventure”-type books released in the eighties. At $3.99 each,
More Godlike Personalities
The official Godlike RPG website has another teaser for you: stats for The Shade, one of Churchill’s “special” bodyguards (who are referred to collectively as the “Ugly Mugs”). According to a post on the Godlike mailing list from co-designer Dennis Detwiller, “The Shade is a good example of a beginning
FFG Releases Stellar Matter, Dragonstar RPG

Buy It! It's On Sale, That's Why!
Well, actually, you should buy it because it’s been the most commonly-played game out of everything I’ve been bringing to game nights over the past three months. It’s called Laguna, and it’s German. Its regular game page on Funagain is here if you want to see pictures, but if you’re
Necromancer Fun For The Holidays
We’ve got new reviews of the genre-bending Siege of Durgam’s Folly and Rob Kuntz’s Prisoners of the Maze, both from your friends at Necromancer. Or maybe we have them confused with that other game company that was hanging out at your place playing Grand Theft Auto 3 the other day.
New Mage Knight Dragon Scenarios
WizKids have declared this to be Dragon Month (in mid-December? Must be that new math). Each Friday for the next three weeks, the WizKids website will be posting a Mage Knight scenario that revolves around one of those big-ass dragon figures. Why post these scenarios (aside from the coolness factor,
Dragonstar Starfarer’s Handbook Shipping
The FFG front page has the news and the ordering link. The cover looks terrific. In-store date is December 27th, but those dates never seem to have much to do with reality. Pick it up and start fixing to take down those annoying munchkin PCs with one well-placed blaster bolt.
Eden Studios To Publish Buffy The Vampire Slayer RPG
Eden Studios announced an agreement today with Donruss Playoff L.P., a licensee of Twentieth Century Fox Licensing and Merchandising, to develop the Buffy the Vampire Slayer RPG for a Summer 2002 release.

Rogue Publishing has just released another electronically-distributed role-playing game based around the Fudge system. This time, it’s Pariah, a superhero game written by Mike Jones.

Notable Additions To Bastion Press Board
Bastion Press announced two new additions to its Board of Directors: Ryan Dancey and Cathleen Adkison. If you’ve never heard of those names, go review the press release. Of course, if you’ve never heard those names, there’s a few other names you probably missed. We’ll start with a little company
Witchfire Freebie
Privateer Press has posted a freebie for the third installment of their Witchfire Trilogy, The Legion of Lost Souls. The downloadable PDF has a map prop to give the players. Unless, like me, you prefer them to stumble around, lost and defenseless. Amazons! Everywhere You Look — Amazons!! MicroTactix has
