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, 22 August 2018 As I have stated in the past, the theme of grimdark hasn’t exactly been my forte. But, as previously mentioned, I am a sucker for power armor and the aesthetic behind Warhammer 40,000 (40k). Once I learned Ulisses Spiele/Ulisses North America was releasing the new Warhammer 40k RPG,... Continue Reading →
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 27 June 2018 Being a sci-fi fan, I do love spaceships...and watching small fighters doing amazing things. There’s a great deal of sci-fi materials focusing around a group of pilots, their (mis)adventures, how they grow, cope with their losses, and still overcome whatever it is the Universe decides to throw at...

A few months back, I was talking to a few friends about a hairbrained idea I had for a Fate hack that would take the off-the-wall nature of "It's Not My Fault" and add another totally off-the-rails element to it. Namely, players would literally build a sci-fantasy universe as they create their characters (Mutant Gallifreyan... Continue Reading →
Last November, I decided to do something I didn’t think I would ever do: I bought a custom miniature from Hero Forge. Miniatures haven’t exactly been my thing, and most of the minis I use in games usually came from something else (like my old MicroMachines from Star Wars being used in that game). Even...

Before I begin, a shameless plug and a call for help: I started a Patreon to help offset costs of the materials I've been acquiring for reviews. I want to keep my reviews as unbiased as possible, and prefer to not get a press copy so that I can give you all reviews in an... Continue Reading →
I recently did a poll on Twitter asking what people would like to see, and the votes quickly skewed to random RPGs from my shelf. Thankfully, with some good wheeling and dealing, I've gotten a bunch of new-to-me books in that I've been slowly reading, giving me plenty of potential old(er) games to review. The...

Last week, I was lucky enough to find the time to catch Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2. I went in with pretty high expectations, just as I am sure many fans of the first film (and many fans of Marvel's foray into films as of late) also did. So how did the film stand... Continue Reading →
One thing sci-fi fans love to do is tear into each other about which sci-fi is the greatest, and we don't see a greater divide than the one between Star Trek and Star Wars fans. That said, there IS one divide regarding these two franchises that I want to talk about, and that's in their... Continue Reading →
