Not much to report other than the TMNT stuff I mentioned below actually. I have picked up the new "Golden Skies" supplement "Twilight Tales", a translation of one of the original Japanese supplements that allows you to add a whole new range of supernatural beings to your game, more Yokai Japanese folktale fairies, ghosts, aliens and even Time Lords ( Read more... )

Less androids. MORE TURTLES ( Read more... )

There are a surprising number of Star Trek RPGs out there you know. Far more than I had realised when I started looking into the subject, which even has it's own Wikipedia page as it happens- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Trek_games#Role ( Read more... )

While reading through the Ryuutama rulebook I have been listening to my latest music purchase, the 5-disc Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild CD soundtrack. It's beautiful, mixing haunting minimalist piano pieces and stirring orchestral renditions of the various Zelda themes that have been established in previous games. There's a fair bit of ( Read more... )

Perhaps as a response to the industrial bleakness of the "Hostile" game I've been perusing of late I treated myself to something a little more lighthearted. A few years ago there was a Kickstarter campaign to translate a Japanese RPG called "Ryuutama", meaning "Dragon's Egg ( Read more... )

Paul Elliot, the man behind Zozer Games, who produced that "Hostile" RPG I've been enjoying of late has produced two small supplements to complement the main book. The first, "Pioneer Class Station", details a small 600 ton space station with a very characteristic set of 8 radially arranged fuel tanks extending from it's tower-like central core. It ( Read more... )

The Wife was out the other evening so had to fend for myself dinner-wise. Decided to do an old recipe I've not done for a long while. It's very simple and insanely tasty. Take a few onions, a few peppers (red, yellow or orange, preferably a mix), a couple of courgettes, an aubergine, a few large field mushrooms, 4-5 medium sized tomatoes and a ( Read more... )

Been having a bit of a Star Trek - The Original Series spree of late. There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, as part of my current urge to buy up Paul Kidd RPGs I picked up his "Lucanii Drift" sourcebook for "Starships and Spacemen" 2nd Edition, although actually it's for, as he puts it, "Any game that lets you Boldly Go". It is basically ( Read more... )

Yes, yes, I've been buying a lot of games, still got a bit of my Christmas bonus left, so I'm using it strategically. On games. As opposed to on food. Or rent. Or stupid stuff like that ( Read more... )

Picked up Paul Kidd's latest offering,"D20 to Yuma" (a spoof on "3.10 to Yuma"). It's inspired from when his gaming group picked up "Boot Hill" waaaay back in the 70s but were busy playing "D&D". Well the players found a portal into the Wild West and "Orc McGraw" became the worst bandit west of the Pecos ( Read more... )
