RetroPunk, our Portuguese translators, interviewed Trail of Cthulhu author Kenneth Hite and allowed us to publish the untranslated version here. How long have you been into RPGs? I’ve been playing (and mostly GMing) RPGs since 1979; I got into it with Basic Set D&D and then right into AD&D; from there, it was an explosion […]
Author: José Muñoz Espadero, Illustrator: Alex ‘Koña’ García The mere existence of bloodthirsty creatures and the risk of facing them is one of the leitmotivs of The Esoterrorists and many other terror and investigative games.

In this belated issue of Page XX we have such a large and mixed bag of articles the only analogy I can think of is a Deck of Many Things without the black cards. There are three new Page XX articles from Robin Laws, a look at the new Jack Vance license The Gaean Reach, […]
