So, Monte Cook is doing this thing. Numenera: A new roleplaying game from Monte Cook I don’t know how much I really need to say about it. If you’re reading this blog you likely know who Monte is, and you also likely know his penchant for quality in his work …
Let’s see if I can’t get this a little boost toward getting over the top. Blood Red Sands – Competitive Swords-and-Sorcery RPG is a little different from my normal thing — a competitive roleplaying game, where ultimately only one PC goes on to face the Witch King. This game has many trappings …
