Before there was the City, there was a village. They worshipped Aren, the God King, the Benevolent Master, the creator of Fire and Ice and everything in between. They would send him tribute, and in return he gave them protection and ensured their success.
Then the elves of the forges came to the city, bringing with [...]

[Review] Gamebook Adventures #1: An Assassin in Orlandes

I don’t have a lot of experience with iPhone apps (I’ve played with maybe three or four), but I know have one that’s high on my list of favorites. An Assassin in Orlandes is a digital gamebook for the iPhone and iPod touch – it’s like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, but where you [...]

[Review] Cthulhutech – Mortal Remains
February 10th, 2010 · 1 Comment · RPG Bloggers Network, Review
I was recently given the opportunity to review the Cthulhutech books as part of a carnival, and since they were something that I’ve always been interested in, I quickly jumped at the opportunity. Much has been said about the game as whole, so I’m going to focus on what I have been assigned to review [...]
[The City] Religion of the City – Three Gods
February 6th, 2010 · 2 Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Settings
The Gods of the City are not constant. They are ever-changing, subject to the whims of those who dwell within. There are three ways they form and gain power:
Pure, unadulterated belief in their power.
Adherence to an ideal that the deity embodies.
A physical representation of the deity that has been blessed by a cleric.
Since the Shift, [...]

[Opinion] Other Videogames That Should Be Turned Into Pen and Paper RPGs
February 2nd, 2010 · 7 Comments · Opinion, RPG Bloggers Network
Yesterday, I was having trouble coming up with a blog post, so Stargazer suggested I riff off of his “Videogames that should be turned into pen & paper RPGs” post. Instead, I did that today. So… yeah.
However, Stargazer beat me to a lot of the good CRPGs, so I decided to look to other genres [...]
[Review] Three Articles You Must Check Out in Kobold Quarterly 12
January 26th, 2010 · No Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Review
I really had trouble picking out three articles from the most recent issue of Kobold Quarterly. Not that it’s a bad issue – the exact opposite, it’s amazing! Too good, that I couldn’t just pick three articles. But I knew that if I tried to make it longer, then eventually the list would spiral out [...]

So, when I asked people on Twitter if they had seen my review, here’s what someone said in response:
MissMouze: @allgeektout Yeah, but how it is for a person who doesn’t play a whole lot of RPGs?
Oops, I forgot to mention that in my review, didn’t [...]
[The City] The Races of the City
January 23rd, 2010 · 2 Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Settings
Alright, next step: what are the roles of the races in the City? I knew from the start that I wanted to incorporate the whole Core Rulebook, but I didn’t want everything to be the same standard race they always were. So here’s what I came up with.
Humans are the oppressed majority in the City. [...]

[Review] The Box That's Bigger on the Inside
January 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Review
Okay, the title’s a bit of a lie – the contents of Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space (the new Doctor Who RPG from Cubicle 7) are actually pretty snug inside their box. But when you look at the contents of the box, and the fact that I can’t resist an obvious pun, then you’ll [...]
