Many people have suggested that game masters see magic as a replacement for technology. In an effort to do this, they suggest various ways of simulating air travel, home conveniences, and communication. These are all extremely important industries, and in replacing our technology with their magic, worlds can come alive. But there are two industries that are often forgotten, and they are two of the biggest industries our world has to offer: Health Care and Beauty.
The Leverage RPG is the latest licensed game from Margaret Weiss productions using a variant of their Cortex Plus rules. It is based on the hit TNT TV series about a group of (slightly) reformed criminals, who take down untouchable and truly villainous targets.
It’s going to be hard not to compare Iron Dynasty: Way of the Ronin with Wu Xing: The Ninja Crusade, given how strong of an impression that game made on me, and how recently it was that I reviewed it.
Hello everybody, Endzeitgeist speaking once again, this time not with a review, but with an interview on Lou Agresta’s new project
Age Past is an upcoming fantasy RPG by Jeff Mechlinkski, and I have been given the opportunity to preview the book. Now, this is just that, a preview…I won’t be doing a full review here. The PDF I was given clocks in currently at 253 pages, with some material still missing as well as several placeholders for art. The estimated completion date is September 2011, so I think they still have time.
This column will focus on the process of starting a duet campaign, especially for someone who isn’t that experienced of a GM, perhaps even someone who has never GMed before.

First of all I will make this very clear; I am a game player -a big, big games fan. I have been playing videogames, board games and role playing games since I was a child and they have had a massive impact in developing my imagination, my visualisation skills, my social skills and even my empathy skills. This is important for me to make clear since the start of this article because I want everyone to know that I am biased. Yes, I believe in games as a medium to develop healthy personality traits and interaction skills.
War of the Dead Chapter One is the first leg of the War of the Dead campaign epic for Savage Worlds by Daring Entertainment. To be clear: Chapter One is actually 13 adventures, of which there will ultimately be 52 (not counting one sheets, which Daring has begun to release). It is a modern setting, set during a zombie outbreak, and you can buy them in bits or you can buy all of Chapter One as a package. I’m going to save you the trouble: Like Savage Worlds and zombies? Go buy the bundle. I’ll even link to it for you.
