The scene: your Trail of Cthulhu game. The speaker: A player. “All right, I’m sick of being fed bafflegab by these mystic jerks, and I don’t want to read any more books that will keep me up for a calendar month with waking nightmares. We take the train to Providence, Rhode Island, go to” [quick […]
Following on from my 2012 post about unappreciated Pelgrane products. I present to you two more such treasures, and my speculation as to why they are neglected. The Gaean Reach RPG “…this is a dead simple, easy to learn, quick to play science-fiction romp well worthy of a few evenings and weekends of your life.” […]
