They mention her and Dragonbane in the book. it's also dedicated to her .

Games like Shadowdark are supposed to be grim. It’s in the name, right? Dingy dungeon crawlers desperate for treasure ain’t got time to joke around. Yet there’s still plenty of room for a dark chuckle or two. The grand dame of grimdark, Warhammer, has plenty of parody characters out of pop...

I spent a lot of my youth watching movies that were made with low, low budgets. Whether on HBO, rented from the local video store or with robot pals like Crow and Tom Servo, I love these little chunks of creativity from people who maybe don’t always have the talent (or money) to properly express...

One of the fun parts of mythology is watching it change over the years. From stories of King Arthur that add in later knightly legends like Sir Lancelot to modern day characters like Superman learning to fly for his radio show, these stories endure because of their flexibility and authors making...

Religions frequently shares myths with apocalyptic cults. They often believe the end of the world is going to be right around the corner and everyone needed to be ready to go. That’s why so much artwork from the medieval era features demons, skeletons and other monsters. These images become even...

They just released PDFs of the characters writeups in all the books. You can get each book's write up collection for five bucks. The rules are available via Roll20/Demiplane but not PDF. Here's the official announcement as shared by Matt Forbeck...

My guess is that each chapter will be a mini sourcebook for each of the main Avengers with the profiles being their villains, related heroes and significant alterate identities, For example, the Iron Man chapter will be about Stark Industries with his various armored rivals and maybe a different...

I think this is a stronger Cypher System horror guide than their dedicated book on the subject.

In case you hadn’t noticed from my reviews, horror is my favorite RPG genre. This favor filters through many of my other media preferences including TV shows, movies and podcasts. Last year, Monte Cook Games took on one of my favorite horror podcasts with Old Gods of Appalachia: The Role Playing...

The other books include small expansions like more rooms and such. This one has a whole other book with full adventures that lead outside of Mitra's Fist and the towers, plus one sold seperately that leads into Dark Tower. I think DCC is a better fit for these older modules. I'm looking forward...

Influential media often gets the deluxe boxed set treatment. Important movies, albums and TV shows get a release chock full of deleted materials, essays by famous people influenced by the media and commentary by the creators about the choices they made making the thing. Goodman Games has been...

Yep. I was saving that for a review once I read it. It's about artifacts connected to the Innsmouth Raid.

Read any evil books lately? Spellbooks and grimoires are often at the center of horror stories. They make good treasures to seek, whether to learn more about the monsters ravaging the countryside to potentially having a spell or some other means to take down the monster. This is most common in...

Shadowrun was my great first love as a game designer. It’s one of the best examples of the kitchen sink games that came out of the late 80s and early 90s that wildly mashed up genre flavors like unsupervised kids at a soda fountain. It’s a concept that appeals to the kid in many of us; who...
