Much like the Jonstown Compendium for RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha and The Companions of Arthur for material set in Greg Stafford’s masterpiece of Arthurian legend and romance, Pendragon, the Miskatonic Repository for Call of Cthulhu, Seventh Edition is a curated platform for user-made content. It is thus, “…a new way for creators to publish and…

Bueno me voy a poner a escribir esto antes de verme influenciado por las reseñas que vayan saliendo en los próximos días (para bien o para mal).Este pasado fin de semana estuve en las Ludo Ergo Sum, como suele ser tradición en mí desde hace una señora montonera de años, es decir desde sus orígenes…

     At the end of my review of the original HuniePop (HuniePop 2 review coming eventually I promise) I mentioned I didn't really have a lot of experience with Match 3 games. Since then, my girlfriend and I have accepted our place as a couple that plays puzzle games together, and I snagged Creepy Redneck…

Genshin Impact’s Flins is one of Nod-Krai's best DPS options, with a really fun moveset and plenty of teammates you can pair him with.

Originally Published in Games Unplugged – March 2001 The latest release of Cosmic Encounter by Avalon Hill marks roughly the third incarnation of this game (depending on how one counts such things). Originally developed by Eon Games it was subsequently distributed briefly by West End Games and Games Workshop before ending up with Mayfair Games,…

There are lots of ways to handle initiative in different RPGs. D&D has a variant which many of us use — roll a d20, add your dex mod, and go in order from highest to lowest. Shadowdark has an around-t

I got a chance to play Mythic Bastionland on Sunday. Thanks to Mike for GMing. The game is quite different, especially from D&D-esque systems, and for that reason I recommend trying it out. As knights, we wander the realm, seek out myths, and earn glory. With enough glory, we get promoted up the knightly ranks…

Girls und Panzer: This Is The Real Anzio Battle! is an interesting mix of “retcon that isn’t really a retcon”, budget and intentions, character-exploration, and pushing the envelope of the series’ formula. Only about 45 minutes long the OVA does a good job of fitting into the series lineup appropriately. The Oarai tanks are all…

Cuando leí la novela gráfica de Army of Darkness vs Reanimator no me gustó, pero cometí el error de informarme al respecto y descubrí que la saga Reanimator de Dynamite se iniciaba con ese crossover (metido en la serie regular de Army of Darkness) y finalizaba con otra novela gráfica que leí hace tiempo y…

Tras un tiempo fuera por compromisos académicos y temas personales, regreso al blog para hablar de la adaptación live action de El punto de vista del lector omnisciente (2025).

I don’t usually write articles on Sundays, but this evening I had a very interesting tactical RPG to share with you. It’s called WANE, and as you can see from the trailer (at the bottom of the page) and screens, it immediately stands out visually, while also featuring several interesting gameplay mechanics. Below is everything…

1974 is an important year for the gaming hobby. It is the year that Dungeons & Dragons was introduced, the original RPG from which all other RPGs would ultimately be derived and the original RPG from which so many computer games would draw for their inspiration. It is fitting that the current owner of the…

Otra película que podemos ver en Netflix y que tiene un trasfondo bien lovecraftiano. En la hierba alta está basada en el relato homónimo escrito por Stephen King y Joe Hill, y la historia es tan sencilla como que un cañaveral maldito no deja salir a los imprudentes que se adentran en él. ¿Qué me ha…

Joe's post on the Quantum Ogre raises an old question about sandbox play: when does moving an encounter around interfere with players' freedom to decide what their characters do?I agree with a lot of what he says, especially that information matters. In my Living World Sandbox, I stress the importance of the Initial Context.Where I…

Let all substance be taken from. Let all order of the world be stripped from you. Let even the bones that tie you to the tyranny of the flesh dissolve within you. Only then, veiled in grey from mortal sight, shall you serve the true Lords of Man. This small book wrapped in grey cloth…

Has pasado toda tu vida en orfanatos, familias de acogida o reformatorios, o si no, directamente en la calle. Lo más probable es que seas huérfano, o que tus padres te hayan abandonado hace tiempo.

If Pirate Borg pitches itself as the “Worst Pirate RPG Ever Made™!”, then get ready for the “Worst Parrot RPG Ever Made™!”. Well, to be fair, compared to pirates, there really is not any competition when it comes to parrot-themed roleplaying games. In fact, the only other one that springs to mind is Pirates of…

Llevo bastante tiempo queriendo encontrar un juego de rol ambientado en la época de los íberos.

I don’t want to oversell it, but this Saturday’s recap, packed with new RPGs, strategy games, and everything turn-based, is absolutely stacked. Of course, you’ve probably already figured out from the cover which game is stealing the spotlight, but it’s definitely in great company. In these recaps, I also like to share how I plan…

I went to the Transformers shop in London yesterday. In mostly unrelated news, it was my birthday on the 10th, and I got the new version of Onslaught, and the fourth part of Bruticus. Here he is with his 2001 version: The original Onslaught was one of the first Transformers I owned as a boy;…

Nacido y criado en Canning Town, al este de Londres, Paxton es el producto resultante de una época en que la MET era un cuerpo abiertamente corrupto.

Originally Published in Games Unplugged Webzine – December 27th, 2000 Spookshow is one of those games which has a really great concept – ghosts are real and they’re working as spies – which then utterly fails to develop that concept in any appreciable way. Adding to its sin, Spookshow seems eerily aware of its limitations:…

Una sesión más. Aquí le dimos uso a uno de los aspectos más identitarios de Mythras -y de RuneQuest, en realidad-, además de un combate algo más reñido que el de la sesión anterior. Y los jugadores terminaron por resolver el pequeño problema que les propuse con la mazmorra que estaban explorando.***Al fondo de la…

Sin más, os dejo con la traducción de Carlos «Zero» García de las  Armas callejeras de…
