By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 09 October 2019 I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with G. Michael Truran about game theory over the last year or two, and I have to admit that a lot has changed since I reviewed his ashcan game Plunderlight. This time around, I was requested to take a look at the... Continue Reading →
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 25 September 2019 Continuing along with the OSR bandwagon I found myself to be following on Kickstarter, we arrive to the book John Silence.
