A review of Stunning Eldritch Tales at Ogre Cave. There are lots of great RPGs, but many fewer great books of adventures. This is one of those great books of adventures, and it deserves some of your shelf space.
You are Royal Flying Crops pilots stationed near the Front, and rumour has it the next big push is about to begin. The squadron’s being worked to death, and its champion ace is on the verge of cracking up. Meanwhile the new Hun Circus is racking up kill after kill – but is it the […]

This results in a lively, readable book that shows Walmsley is both excited about the Cthulhu Apocalypse setting and is […]
I don’t know how I missed this rather amusing review of Trail of Cthulhu on I Pants The Dwarf. There’s one other thing that Trail of Cthulhu changed out, and it’s not only a doozy, it’s the game’s saving grace and the number one reason you should try this version. … Each high-level being is […]
