- Inquisitor Vertaj No one can say Inquisitor Vertaj isnt devoted to his duty of tracking down dangerous criminals. In fact, some might say he's a little too zealous, that he has too much trouble letting go once he sets his sight on taking someone down.

Pre-orders underway for Forsaken Lands II Christopher West is doing a second Kickstarter-based pre-order drive to pay for the release of his next poster map, Forsaken Lands II. Like its predecessor (currently up for this year's ENnie awards in two categories!), this Forsaken Lands poster is 'genre-neutral' to appeal to fantasy and sci-fi players alike. (Modern and horror-genre players as well, for that matter...) It features an arid Badlands on one side, and waterfall-carved "Deep Caverns" on the other. This map goes on sale at his art show table at Gen Con and then at his website, but there are only 5 days left to pre-order it and take advantage of the free shipping offer! - "My First Gencon" Series continues with Monte Cook Today's story? The price of employment by Monte Cook, circa 1990.
