One of the very first published RPGs I ever played was Dragon Warriors. I still have all six original books, somewhere, I think, I hope! In the recent past Dragon Warriors had a home in the Mongoose Publishing empire. It was looked after by Magnum Opus, who published it via Flaming Cobra, a Mongoose imprint. […]

The Fuller Memorandum review
The Fuller Memorandum is the third book in Charles Stross’s Laundry Files series.

Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space RPG Review

Cubicle 7 release character sheet preview for new Dr Who RPG
