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 →
Delving Into The Old Skull Zine Trilogy
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 →
LIGHTing Your SPARK
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 03 February 2021 Zine-sized games are something I find to be a hit or a miss. On the upside, they are short, easy to carry, and often simple to learn. On the downside, I find many to be severely lacking or just a little too niche for me. There's a growing collection... Continue Reading →

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 →
Feeling the Wrath and Glory of Warhammer 40,000
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 →
Taking Off With Tachyon Squadron
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...

Dungeons: The Dragoning. No, Really.
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 →
