Review – Rogue Trader: Hostile Acquisitions
Everyone who I've played Rogue Trader with has skirted Imperial rule at best and obviously flown in the face of it at worst. Now, they finally have the ability to take alternate career ranks in just the type of criminal they have always wanted to be. More than that,...

Review – Ashen Stars
This is another amazing success from Pelgrane Press. The GUMSHOE engine provides the basis for the game, but it's so different from the previous games like Fear Itself or Trail of Cthulhu. The game is set in a universe where a powerful alien race was set to destroy...

Six is Company, Seven’s a Crowd? (Part 1)

Back in the Saddle
I’m baaaaack! If you thought you could get rid of DM Neil for good, you were wrong . . . dead wrong. Seriously, it’s great to be back in the RPG world. A huge thanks to John for inviting me to contribute to the site. I’m looking forward to sharing some of my gaming...
