The older edition had some unusual choices like a three action combat round instead of two. But the setting depiction of the struggle against the Dark Between the Stars was well executed. This new version streamlines things in what I consider a positive way: rules are refined and gameplay...

Really looking forward to Coriolis. I liked the original system and setting, and this new edition expands on both in directions I like: exploration and streamlined rules. And I really like the birds.

Smörkås Borg brings an adventure set in the world of Kobolds Ate My Baby! to Mörk Borg. Ponder the wonder of that for a moment and perhaps you’ll grok why I continue to write this column waiting with bated breath to unearth a treasure like this one.

I interviewed Matthew Sprange a few years ago and he was kind enough to talk to me again about running an RPG company, his RPG writing, his RPG adventures, and a bit more. Mongoose Publishing (roleplaying games) can be found on Discord, X/Twitter, Bluesky, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and...

Amanda saw this in playtesting and addressed the concern. The PCs are under orders to investigate: AF: Most often I end up throwing out lots of stuff that I thought would be fun, but isn't. Sometimes I learn things that are really surprising - for example, in the first Crush Depth playtest, the...
