Intergalactic Diseases & Cosmic Mystery: An Interview with Clarence Redd

In preparation for our review of Odd Soot, the wonderful new gaming experience from Frost Byte books, we sat down with game creator Clarence Redd to discuss the creation process and inspiration behind the game. His answers were detailed and thoughtful, shedding some light on RPG design and research. When we received our review copy, the game wasn’t quite finished, but had been thoroughly playtested.

Worlds of Design: Tabletop RPGs Are the Most Naturally Co-operative Games

Although I design board and card games as a business, if I want to play a game for pleasure I play tabletop RPGs.

Staring Directly Into the Invisible Sun -- A Review

Invisible Sun, the surrealist RPG by Monte Cook Games is definitely unique in many ways. While premium or high production value board games and LARPs have become increasingly common, the RPG industry version has been tame by comparison. Invisible Sun blows the concept out of the water.

Plumbing the Depths of Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage -- A Review

Wizards of the Coast has worked hard to provide a variety of adventure types for 5^th Edition and with Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage they're tackling megadungeons.

Unmasking Masks of Nyarlathotep

The twisted horrors and blood-crazed cultists of Masks of Nyarlathotep helped define the feel of Lovecraftian roleplaying more than three decades ago, and while this sprawling update weighs heavily on both the wallet and the bookshelf it does an excellent job of adapting the classic campaign for more modern tastes.
