    Command The Future With Starship Commandos

    Starship Commandos is a rules lite, storytelling RPG by Sword's Edge Publishing. It's likely a lot to do with the title, but after clicking past the table of contents on the PDF, I'm immediately asking: "Would this RPG scratch that alien(s), survive the evil xenomorph, itch?" Let's get into it...

    How Many Hacks Of The Black Hack Can Be Hacked? Looking At The Indie Hack

    In the last four years, I've noticed an increased frequency in regards to Storyteller and narrative type games. It might be resurgence, or my imagination… But, what I've been excited about is the sheer variety of these games; specifically, the ways in which the fundamental idea of creating...

    How I Learned To Stop Worrying About Game Prep

    As others have noted... My experience is that the best prep for less prep is to take the plunge and wing it! I really started doing this for Palladium Books products and Vampire back in the day. A lot of prep is covered in knowing the material. Good article.

    Play A Game Of Gods With Sertorius By Bedrock Games

    There is no shortage of fantasy RPGs. While one look at the market proves a severe drop after D&D 5th Edition & Pathfinder, it never ceases to amaze how many smaller companies are churning out interesting (non-D&D, fantasy) products on a yearly basis. Let’s take a look at one. Sertorius is a...

    ESPN Calls Role-playing "Bad Fantasy"

    Bah! It's a commercial selling sports fantasy on a network sports affiliate... Which they likely get a piece of. There's no surprise there. And it's more an attack on LARP than D&D... But if it was a commercial with folks LARPing vampires I assume most here would say it was an attack on...

    Gaming At The Kid's Table: Mouse Tails

    +Egg Embry I'm just happy that given the choice (of an internet troll, or a wanna-lancer) you've made the right choice. Just a word of advice: quoting Boromir is easy to do but it is hard to live... And prepare yourself. Hobbylancing takes a level of commitment not common of mortal men. Me...
