Publisher: Goblin Archives (@goblin_archives) Where to Buy: https://www.exaltedfuneral.com/products/liminal-horror-pdf Our fans know I’m an admirer of Into the Odd and Knave, having done reviews and/or actual plays of each. When I heard that someone put out their own game combining elements from these amazing games, I was beyond excited. But this isn’t a review of Yochai […]
Publisher: Planet X Games (@PlanetXGamesCo) Where to Buy: https://tinyurl.com/5fr452yn If Mörk Borg takes its inspiration from black metal, Planet X game’s OSR zine The Phylactery #1 (TP1) is 100% thrash metal to its core. As I type this I realize that comparison is probably only useful to a handful of you but…it’s too perfect. Sorry. […]
Publisher: Magpie Games (@MagpieOfficial) Where to Buy: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/magpiegames/avatar-legends-the-roleplaying-game I remember watching Avatar: The Last Airbender when it first came out and being just…blown away. A kids show telling stories with such pathos and humanity was something I hadn’t seen before. I mean, that seen with Uncle Iroh (you know the one) still makes me cry. […]
Author – Doug Levandowski (@DougLevandowski) & Matt Gaby Where to Buy – https://douglevandowski.itch.io/arcane-zoo Back in February I reviewed Arcane Zoo and, while I enjoyed it, there was one thing that I didn’t like. You can read the past review here if you are curious but, to summarize, the game featured some sentient creatures in captivity which […]
Author: Seren Briar (@faefatale_) Where to Buy: https://faefatale.itch.io/decay Alrighty, bust out your Funk & Wagnalls and turn to the “Fungus” section. Are you there yet? Good, because you’re going to need a deep understanding of how mushrooms work to play/appreciate decay. Well, that’s not entirely true, but it’ll certainly help! Actually, put the encyclopedia down. […]
Author: Kurt Potts (@kurtpotts) Where to Buy: https://kurtpotts.itch.io/sigils-in-the-dark If Sigils in the Dark (SitD) existed in the ‘80s, it would’ve inspired a whole new level of Satanic Panic. I mean, just imagine the amazing Chick Tracts we would’ve gotten for a game where you play a wizard filling out your grimoire with strange, eldritch symbols […]
Author – Highland Paranormal Society (@natetreme) Where to Buy – https://natetreme.itch.io/sludgemother Sometimes your party is hired to clear out rats in the tavern’s basement. Sometimes you can win the favor of the Mudland Conclave by evicting an eldritch goddess of sludge from a post-apocalyptic high school. If the latter appeals to you (and you’re only […]
Author: Samuel Rondon (@SamuelRondonRPG) Where to Buy: https://samuel-rondon.itch.io/quest-fronts-issue-1 When I first started playing Powered by the Apocalypse games, the idea of Fronts grabbed my imagination and refused to let go. I mean, after I figured out what they were talking about, that is. Instead of plotting everything out and preparing every last detail of an […]
Author – Ahimsa Kerp (@ahimsakerp) Where to Buy – https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/245866/Invasion-of-the-Tuber-Dudes When I downloaded Invasion of the Tuber Dudes by Knight Owl Publishing, I expected a quirky one-shot setting about vegetable people. And, to be fair, I did get that. But it’s so much more. I was shocked by just how much the author was able […]
Author – Luciella Elisabeth Scarlett (@LuciellaES) Where to Buy – https://luciellaes.itch.io/fight-bears-cough-blood-kill-god I can’t help falling in love with a great title, and they don’t come much better than Fight Bears, Cough Blood, Kill God (FBCBKG). Luckily, this game is so much more than a catchy title. In this short two-person RPG, players explore the novice/mentor […]
