We had an ashcan edition of the game that we offered for about 6 months before we started the Kickstarter (Egg wrote about it here back when it came out, and linked it in his writeup above). Also, I don't consider it to be a super-hero game, like Champions or Mutants & Masterminds. Yes, there...

I like to think so! I've put a lot of work into getting this game over the finish line, and I would really like for it to reach its audience.

The game's title is an homage to the Charlton Action-Heroes. A few months ago I was on a panel at a convention with Mike Gold (a long time comic editor who worked on some of the Charlton characters when they came over to DC) about my love for the characters from my childhood, and how they were...

A few weeks ago, a ponderous volume was plopped onto my doorstep by a no doubt arcane delivery service. It was Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos for the Pathfinder role-playing game. I've had a couple of weeks to go through the book now, and I think that I have my thoughts on it gathered up...

Back in 1977, a couple of weekend after it opened, my mother took my younger brother and I to a movie that changed things for a lot of people. That movie was, of course, Star Wars. A short ten years later, all three of the original Star Wars movies had come out and everyone thought that there...

I think that would make for an interesting campaign. I think that there was a lot of hubris in the decade that you could pick up on and use in a game like that, too.

All you need for that is a game you like and a copy of the movie.

The Fall of Delta Green is a mixed bag of a role-playing game. A well-developed incarnation of the Gumshoe system is married to a setting that really fails to utilize a time period full of drama and story potential as well as it could have. Is the Fall of the title just address the fiction of...

This past Saturday, I ran a game of Fate Accelerated (like last year) at a local gaming store for Free RPG Day. A couple of the players were unfamiliar with the game, but this isn't unusual since a lot of people use events like this to play games that they wouldn't normally get to play. But...

I GMed a Fate Accelerated game to a table full of people at the local store for Free RPG Day, and there were six other games going on over the course of the day. As a GM, I got a free Free RPG Day shirt and pick of stuff that was reserved for the GMs. I got to see a couple of my friends that I...

The Diana Jones committee has announced the nominees for this year's awards. The award itself is given at a private gathering on the Wednesday before Gen Con starts. Here are this year's nominees from the Diana Jones committee. The 200 Word RPG Challenge A competition organised by David...

It would have been the Mentzer Expert set that referenced it, not the Moldvay.

There really wasn't a concept of "canon" for things like D&D at this time, outside of some of the things that appeared in Gygax's own campaign. The idea was that you would plop down the locations in modules like this where it would be most convenient for your home game.

Perhaps it was placed there retroactively, but the module wasn't written with that location in mind. The Known World wasn't a part of D&D yet when In Search of the Unknown came out. The Isle of Dread (one of the first mentions of the Known World) didn't come out until 1981, and that map wasn't a...

There will be further news soon.

I've never actually seen anything that would link this adventure to the Known World. Carr didn't actually play a lot of D&D previous to his writing of this module (which is why they felt that he was a good choice for writing an introductory module). I'm not saying that it isn't possible, but...

Steve Jackson does love a good pun.

Recently, I was able to ask Steve Jackson, of Steve Jackson Games, a couple of questions about the upcoming relaunch of his classic role-playing/combat game The Fantasy Trip. In addition, he gave us at EN World an early look at the preliminary art for the cover of The Fantasy Trip: Melee...

I've spent a lot of time, money and words on the growing state of the old TSR material that has been slowly rolling out via the OneBookShelf print on demand services. I have talked a lot about the older materials that are being released in PDF as well. Today I am going to talk about a couple...
