Your Friendly Supplier of Advice, Information, and Only Mildly Offensive Sarcasm So after a few months of cajoling, convincing, and bribery, we have a new regular See Page XX feature – Ask Beth.

By Johnny Nexus My Monday night group is currently playing a Spirit of the Century campaign. SotC is a free-wheeling pulp action game set in the 1920s, and I’m playing my man-turned-gorilla PC (there was an accident involving an aircraft and a mad-scientist) Lord Edward Silver. This last Monday though, I wasn’t actually playing a […]

After a break last month, See Page XX is back with a pre-GenCon feast of news and articles. As usual we have the monthly round-up of all things Pelgrane; high praise and some fantastic handouts from Darren Miguez. Will Hindmarch, co-author of the epic forthcoming Trail of Cthulhu campaign Eternal Lies, has written a Fiasco […]

These we key either to a genre (as in Ashen Stars) or a specific campaign implementation (such as The Armitage Files.) Here’s another way to do it, one that […]
