D&D Beyond’s parent company buys the Cortex RPG system, hires its creative director and talks about all the TV and movie possibilities.
Genre Police: Taking Up Space?
Okay….this is gonna be a difficult one. It’s gonna really be a column about how we can’t do a column that turns into a column. We’re going to look at how we look at science fiction, how historically it has evolved and how that isnt’ helpful to us. We might even learn something about games […]
Everything’s Shiny: A Review of Things Don’t Go Smooth
The Firefly RPG made quite a splash when it dropped earlier this year. The game, powered by the latest iteration of the wildly popular Cortex Plus system, was custom-built for the kind of wild action and over-the-top heroics that were the hallmarks of the TV show. I’m happy to report that the game’s first major sourcebook, Things Don’t Go […]
Big Damn Shiny Heroes: A Review of Firefly Friends in Low Places
Firefly came and went like its insect namesake, but the series endures through a wide fan-base, comics, and various games.

Margaret Weis Productions has taken a stab at the ‘Verse before, presenting a Cortex-powered game based on […]

The Browncoats Mixtape
It’s not often you read the words; “A new release from the internet’s foremost comic book rapper is here!”. Actually, there’s trademark™ beside “rapper”. Is Adam Warrock trying to trademark “Comic Book Rapper”? Actually, that might be a little wanky but it’s probably a good idea if his music begins to played a bit more. […]
The Browncoat Anthem – Firefly rap
It’s a sign of a popular TV show – a very popular TV show – that the fans are still contributing to the community years after the show was cancelled. This rap has the lyrics “Curse you Fox” in it. It also has the lyrics “.. at least we got Serenity” so I think it […]
