 Pues llegó el momento en que los PJ se adentran en el Océano. Esta fue una sesión un tanto especial. Para realizar la travesía yo esperaba tener que dedicar al menos una ó dos sesiones. No tanto por los peligros que conllevaría el viaje como para intentar fijar la impresión de "ya no estamos en…

Veo que últimamente mucha gente pasa por este frikiblog buscando información de Kimagure Orange Road. La verdad es que me encanta que eso ocurra. Muchas veces vuelve a mi memoria la serie que veía con trece años por la mañana, allá por 1995, cuyo Opening me encantaba («El mágico Johnny», lo pongo abajo), y cuyo…

Esta semana he estado de vacaciones en Londres y, entre todo lo que hay que ver, he aprovechado para ver un par de tiendas especializadas.La primera de ellas es Orcs Nest, una tienda que, en 1996, ya era un clásico (nos habló de ella Francisco José Campos en la Dragón #23). Lo primero que me…

Otro Primigenio independiente de la última remesa de Cthulhu: Death May Die es Ithaqua, el que camina en el viento. El Wendigo y sus shantaks traerán el invierno al escenario que decidamos jugar, con una tormenta de nieve que irá azotando diferentes partes del tablero y fastidiando a los investigadores que anden por ahí. Y si…

He visto He-Man y los Masters del Universo y tengo que reconocer que me ha decepcionado un poco. Le doy un 6,5 sobre 10: es entretenida, se deja ver y tiene suficientes elementos para pasar un buen rato, pero creo que está lejos de la película épica y espectacular que yo esperaba teniendo en cuenta…

 #RPGaDAY2026 – Day 22: GritSometimes, like doing a month-long challenge like #RPGaDAY2026, you just have to grit your teeth and plough on through until it's finished. You can do it. You're almost in the home stretch. Isla TrevinoIt's not just magic that is taught at the Academy. While the traditional mundane subjects are also taught, especially…

A while back I covered the first wave of products for Free League’s Blade Runner RPG – based off the Year Zero engine which originated in their Mutant: Year Zero RPG and which also powers their Alien game. Set by default squarely between the era of the original movie and Blade Runner 2049, all things…

High in the mountains, across the sea in an old colony, there is plateau long dried out and dusty from drought and the wind. Once it was fertile, dominated by fields of rich brassica, or cabbages, and at the centre stood a temple. A temple to Oleracea, petty-god of cabbages. His followers and priesthood were…

Originally Published June 27th, 2002 CONTENTS The concept behind Penumbra’s Backdrops is simple: Provide professionally designed, ready-to-use maps and descriptions of…

 #RPGaDAY2026 – Day 21: CharityOn day twenty-one, we're all asking for a little charity. I must admit, I always try to be charitable, also since becoming freelance and having just about zero income at the moment, that is certainly difficult. But being charitable doesn't necessarily mean financially. It can also be simply being supportive, and…
