Machine of Death
Boardgame Geek gives Machine of Death a 5.5 out of 10 rating, which is pretty low, but also not terrible, since Boardgame Geek is the Pitchfork of Sitting Around a Table with Friends. This makes me think that this game…

Entropy’s Demise, 1.3
There are some things Modiphius has done really well with Star Trek Adventures and other things they’ve done really badly. The Index in the Rulebook is one of the most annoying wastes of time in any Rulebook ever. It feels…
Liminal Shores
I just don’t know. When I was alerted that there was another Monte Cook Games Kickstarter I a) was excited and b) groaned, because I can’t keep buying all these fucking awesome games. With Numenera 2 (2menera) Kickstarted and delivered…
Border Dispute, 1.2
The spoiler warning for this one has to go up right away, because this one was a mystery scenario with a few twists and surprises. This was the first scenario I’ve run from the These Are The Voyages Vol. 1.…
Interstitial 1.1x
I went over the time between the end of the last Mission and glossed over debriefing and the character’s actual meet up with the Chiron before we actually dug into the next episode. I went over the Milestone system of…
Episode 1.1 The Rescue At Xerxes IV
I guess that means the Starter Set was the Pilot. I’m liking the new blog layout; much easier to use, but I can’t find the “read more” cut… so here’s everything. With our crew of players assembled, and vacation and…
Assemble your crew.
So last night we rolled up (no actual rolling) our crew for Star Trek Adventures. The Modiphius website’s character generator is very good except that: A) it doesn’t limit character races by sourcebook, so a few people got very excited…
By the light of unseen stars.
We finally (FINALLY) wrapped up Call of Cthulhu last night. As a test of 7th edition went… it wasn’t a great test. I chose an old scenario (which was very good and thorough, I thought) that wasn’t written for 7th…
Eyeless astronomers and screaming milkmen
We rolled up the core of our Call of Cthulhu-heeding superchums last night and they got rolling on their first investigation. Noe rolled up Swoosie Staines, daughter of a murdered mother and outstanding-in-her-graveyard parapsychologist. A thoroughly modern gal, she knew…
That is not dead which can eternally be reprinted in new editions.
Is Call of Cthulhu the best Roleplaying Game of all time? Of course it is. Arguing whether or not some other game might be better is like arguing that cheese isn’t the best dairy product of all time. It definitely…
