21 More Organizations is a new RPG Supplement from Gypsy Knights Games. I am of the philosophy that a majority of the stories we collectively make in RPGs are born of conflict, may it be physical, spiritual, moral, mental or social. History buffs like myself can attest that humanity has a long history of conflict. A conflict does not have to be war or combat. It can be the type that is in the shadows and behind the scenes; the intrigue and deceit of conflicting factions.
I never really know how to approach supplements like these. To me, playing an RPG is all about making the collective story. Vehicles and equipment are just tools in that story. However, in sci-fi settings, starships do play a big part of that story and are sometimes the source of that story. Ships of Clement Sector 5: Traders and Scouts is an extensive supplement that gives the readers a selection of the many types of Traders and Scout vessels seen in Clement Sector, from small light traders to specialized long range scout ships.

Then came Eldritch Horror – a new take on a the Arkham Horror concept. The designers took the basic concept of Arkham Horror and globalized it. They had me at global
