At the time of this writing the Humble RPG Book Bundle: Cypher System and The Strange (quite the mouth-full) is available for another 33 hours or so. I already owned quite a few...
A few days ago a trailer for the new Amazon Prime Video series “Tales From The Loop” has gone life. It is based – like Fria Ligan’s award-winning roleplaying game – on Simon...
Please note that this post contains mentions of mental illnesses, ableism, and suicide. When it comes to the roleplaying games community there’s no shortage of scandals and constant drama. The latest controversy is...

First and foremost the Cepheus Engine like the game it tries to emulate, Traveller, are science fiction roleplaying games. But instead of being limited to just sci-fi adventure stories, could Cepheus handle games...
