Ever since I bought the reprint hardbacks, I have been considering running this again. I really enjoyed the setting and as I read into it, the more I feel the passion to run it again. The system is pretty solid. The setting is tangible. I just need to refresh my memory. Reading through it,…

21 Plots Go Forth
I am always amazed by the level of inspiration and creativeness by the writers at Gypsy Knights Games. The 21 plot series has many many cool ideas to jump off from that really give you a new perspective on a hard science fiction setting like Clement Sector. 21 Plots Go Forth does not disappoint.
Alternity 2017 Kickstarter
I am very encouraged by the upgrades to the system. They finally changed over to a roll-high system. I took a look at their Quick Play PDF and I am liking what I am seeing. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sasquatchgamestudio/alternity-2017-a-science-fiction-roleplaying-game?ref=hero_thanks http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/206864/Alternity-Science-Fiction-RPG-Beta-Test-Edition I backed it.
The Last Parsec: Core Rulebook
From: Pinnacle Entertainment Group Reviewed by: Ron McClung The Last Parsec: Core Rulebook is a new RPG Setting Book from Pinnacle Entertainment Group. Without a doubt, Savage Worlds has become a favorite RPG system for me to run, especially at conventions (which is most of my gaming life these days). But it took a while…
Modern Floorplans: Arctic Research Station
Movies like The Thing from Space (or John Carpenter’s The Thing) or Ice Station Zebra, or more recently Harbinger Down come to mind when I think of the Arctic and the potential for adventure there. In an RPG, it would be nice to have a generic map of a location in the Arctic. Fabled Environments now provides a nice map for use in such an environment.
Ships of Clement Sector 10 – Lee class Merchant Vessel
The Millennium Falcon. The Serenity. Sci-fi is full of merchant vessels that travel the space lanes delivering payloads – legal or illegal – to paying customers. John Watt’s Clement Sector is no different.

Alien Vs. Predator, The Hunt Begins, MACE West 2017
These are pictures of my playtest but I did play it at MACE West 2017 with 2 other players. I want to like this game so much but I think it has its flaws. Either that, or we are playing it wrong. I realize there is a second edition coming out and I may get…
Star Trek Ascendancy, MACE West 2017
This is a great game! It really has a Star Trek feel. I plan to do a review of this but I really look forward to playing this more and more, especially with expansions. The 3 player game is great but it has its issues. Primarily, it’s a 3 player 4X that can basically boil…
Scythe, MACE West 2017
I plan to write a review of this game soon. It has be torn. It has a strong Euro feel but just enough player interaction and combat that it keeps my attention. This was by far one of the best games I played of Scythe. Seven great players. Got it down in 2 hours. I played…
