RPG heroes make very poor heroes
Dorkly.com have hit the nail on the head again, weilding their comedy hammer with skill and dexterity. I’ve done this. Have you?
Break Out or Fall Out: review of Behind the Walls for Fate Core
Evil Hat Production has leveraged the power of Patreon and burgeoning support for Fate Core material to crank out some top notch supplements and adventures for their game.

Burn, Baby, Burn: A Porphyry – World of the Burn Review
I had a strange experience at UK Games Expo, in Birmingham, earlier this year.

It’s simply called “Winter”. The trailer introduces the game, planting the action firmly in the drama we already know and […]
Heroes of Ruin walkthrough and teaser
