See Page XX – July/August 2016

Regular readers may notice something different around here – specifically, over there ——->

Yes, it’s an ENnies winner sticker! After many years of nominations, See Page XX has finally been recognised by the ENcademy as a good website. Huzzah! Of course, this was slightly lost in the flood of Pelgrane- and Pelgrane-adjacent wins at the 2016 ENnies – in case you missed it, Simon has more on this in his article, below.

This month sees a bumper double issue of See Page XX, crammed full of articles and the usual post-Gen Con flood of new releases, like the first new GUMSHOE corebook of our tenth anniversary year, Fear Itself 2nd Edition, and The Esoterrorists globe-spanning Worldbreaker campaign. For one month only (or while stocks last), we’ve also got some of the metal 13th Age Icon Tokens from our friends at Campaign Coins. The newly-released Dracula Dossier Thriller bundle gets an outing in PDF, and there are two editions of 13th Age Monthly available now – July’s Shades of Fey, and August’s Alarums & Incursions: Downtime for Six Icons.
