By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 04 March 2020 As we all know, you can't keep a good NPC down! After taking a few months off to get through a chunk of my backlog (not all, but some!), I'm getting back into the saddle and sharing some of what I've been reading and working on. This week,...

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.
