Cortex Prime Game System Review

I’m here today with a long review of Cortex Prime game system, a big topic that I’m determined to get all into a single post. This is the next iteration of the game system behind Marvel Heroic Roleplaying and the Firefly RPG to name a few.

Dueling Fops of Vindamere Review

I’m here today with a short, fast game called Dueling Fops of Vindamere.

Today I’m here with the first half of a look at The One Ring by Fria Ligan. This is the second edition of the Tolkien-inspired game originally published by Cubicle 7 who produced Adventures in Middle-earth alongside it and continue to support Warhammer games (fantasy and 40k), Dr. Who RPG, and Lone Wolf. Now the torch (and much of the writing staff) has passed to Fria Ligan who make Coriolis, Mutant Year Zero, and Tales From the Loop. This is definitely a continuation of the ruleset, but improved in some awesome ways. Let’s get into it!
