During the d20 glut in the early 2000s, d20 Call of Cthulhu was a game nobody asked for and a lot people did not want. It was a surprisingly good adaptation. I was prepared to dislike it, but it was so well done it remains a bright spot of the d20 era for me. I’m hoping this version of...

I purchased Vaesen, the GM screen, and the mini-campaign The Lost Mountain Saga.

D&D won that contest a long, long time ago. And it wasn't really a contest. I don't say that to badmouth Traveler. While I've never played it, I do own the Mongoose version, it's a good game with a long, proud history. It's just that D&D was an continues to be the juggernaut of table top...

I call that job security!

Greyhawk is a city that prospers because of trade. Not only does Greyhawk have it's own previous metals, metals, and gem mining operations, but it's location makes it an important trading hub. Goods coming from the south bound for the north are unloaded in Greyhawk and the same is true of...

I've got the right picture for such a thread.
