By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 25 August 2021 Once again, there should be zero surprise about my diving into a science-fantasy RPG. Just a few months ago, I reviewed the sci-fantasy RPG Veil of the Void, nearly four years ago I gave you all a review of Starfinder, and three years ago (almost to the day!) I shared my...

By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 26 May 2021 Like the material that inspires them, comic-inspired games can either be amazing or a convoluted mess. It's the nature of super-powered shenanigans, and it takes a balancing act to get the right feel for the game. Seeing the Kickstarter for Agents of BAMF, I had a knee-jerk reaction and...

By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 19 May 2021 As a huge fan of sci-fantasy, I'm disappointed when I don't find a game that can help scratch that itch. "Give me my space wizards and spaceships!" is a statement I make rather often as I look around and the abundance of sci-fi and beg for some fun... Continue Reading →
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 4 May 2021 It's no small secret that I love sci-fi, and there's a bit of love for Cyberpunk in my collection. Whether it's a video game (or anime), tabletop RPG, zine, and of course the aptly named Cyberpunk franchise, you'll find me at least considering it. So don't be shocked:... Continue Reading →
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 28 March 2021 Browsing online RPG shops like Floating Chair can be almost as dangerous to my wallet as Kickstarter. I went in to order a print copy of Iron and Lies (review forthcoming!), and saw Go Alone. Like the siren call of a magical sword in a stone, I found it... Continue Reading →
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 24 March 2021 While grimdark and I have an on-again-off-again relationship, and my love of OSR is more a begrudging respect than love, sometimes a title crosses my path that is so unabashedly villainous that I can't say no. Which brings us to For Coin & Blood 2nd Edition, one of the titles... Continue Reading →
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 17 March 2021 With Control being a Playstation Plus title last month, I and thousands of others finally had the opportunity to play this gem that was considered by many to be worthy of the title "Game of the Year" for 2019, at least within their own communities/lists. A friend of mine... Continue Reading →
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 10 March 2021 With my love of odd and esoteric mechanics, it's no small wonder why I jump at games with a quirky pitch. Dominoes as your risk mechanic? Awesome! Cards both as numbers and suit to determine how things go? Deal me in! A no challenge/conflict game? Sweet! An entire... Continue Reading →
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 24 February 2021 Kickstarter is a wonderful and dangerous tool, as I am sure any RPG fan can attest. Combine their algorithm with my Twitter feed, and I'm surprised I don't spend more than I do on RPGs. Granted, funding is a stopgap, but that's another topic. While I was a... Continue Reading →
