Flames of Freedom: Boston Besieged

I was recently at Dragonmeet and by accident got my hands on this adventure for Colonial Gothic.

Interview with TactDeck’s Eric Etkin

The TactDecks Battle System is a card-based strategic combat game set in this precarious world of feudal warfare, magic, and decaying technology. Part CCG, part miniature war-game, TactDecks combines the tactical challenges of skirmish gaming with the collectability and deck-building components of CCGs.

The Howler in the Wind

This is an introductory adventure that can be used to introduce a few new characters to the Cthulhu setting. It was written a long time ago, so it might need some changes to be adapted to newer systems.

The Adventurers

The Adventurers has been nominated three times in the Unboxed Awards, once for Best Family Game, once for Most Innovative and once for Best Artwork. and I’ll let you know if I agree with these nominations at the end.

A Kiss of Death

A 500 years old mummy has been discovered in an old crypt in the mountains near the town. The mummy is the body of a 18 year old princess, once sacrificed to the gods in an attempt to save the civilization from destruction. The princess was sacrificed against her will, and had to be forced to death.
