From: Fabled Environments Reviewed by: Ron McClung Modern Floorplans: An Average Wild West Town is a Kickstarted RPG Supplement from Fabled Environments. Fabled Environments have a strong line of maps on PDF that I have personally used on occasion. This new one – Kickstarted in 2015 – looked like an ambitious project but I knew once funded, it…
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,…
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.

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.

Open game licenses are tricky and the revival of many old school game engines have tried their best to take advantage of them. In the case of…
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…
