By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 14 August 2019 I originally took a glance at Dragons Conquer America by Burning Games back in October of 2017. Since then, the game has had a few hiccups with Kickstarter campaigns and some delays with the final product, but as of late March, they have followed through and sent out... Continue Reading →
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 15 May 2019 It is no small secret that I absolutely love the concept of steampunk, and will jump at an opportunity to read in on a steampunk setting. When I met the guys behind Pure Steam at CharCon earlier this month, we got to talking and they were kind enough... Continue Reading →
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 24 July 2019 Conventions are the best and worst places for me to explore. It’s the worst as I’m always spending more money than planned, but it’s the best as I get to see new things before they are officially out and can sometimes swing the finances for them for review....

Sometimes a game will come out tied to a specific comic line or one specific character, but it will fail for anything beyond it. Other times, it either becomes unplayably boring (as the scales are just... Continue Reading →
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 15 May 2019 Urban Fantasy is a genre of RPG I’ve reviewed on this site multiple times over the years, and for good reason: it’s an interesting premise, especially when done right, doubly so because it’s familiar. I’m sure we were all raised with hearing ghost stories, seeing horror movies set... Continue Reading →
