I just read across the WEG and RPGNet forums that Eric Gidson, sole owner of WEG properties, is folding up shop after a lot of effort with very little return. He seems a bit snippy in many of his post. I guess that’s because many are angry over his lack of production for that new…
I just bought two new RPGs this weekend. Alpha Omega RPG – Shadowrun meets Gama World meets In Nomine. The world has gone to hell, aliens that resemble demons and angels are fighting a war, and humans barely survive in huge technologically advanced city states across an Earth devastated by ecological disasters and nuclear war….
Under Construction! I am developing a Stargate Campaign stemming from an adventure I wrote for a convention game at ConCarolinas 2008.

Gates (Nicolas Cage’s character) said that Lincoln (his favorite president) changed the way people saw the US….
Catacombs on Pyre This is the next session for our Fading Suns campaign as it comes to a close. The players stepped through an Ancient gate device and are now underground in the catacombs of a very hot world. All signs show that it is Pyre – from the heats to the sand make-p. But…
I have had a fleeting attraction to the steampunk genre but no game really grabbed me. Goodman Games donated a game to ConCarolinas called Ehterscope so I decided to look at it. I like it A LOT! Not only is it Steampunk, but it is alternate history, with the US and Britain entangled in a…
