A Bit of the Rough and Tumble – Dice & Dragons
Journeying with Journey Away
by Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 8 January 2019 Journey Away crossed my radar when a few associates on Twitter began sharing it to signal boost it. Seeing it pitched as a “non-challenge based RPG”, I was intrigued, and seeing what seemed to be a lighthearted setting to go with it inspired me to drop the money... Continue Reading →
Living Your Legend In City of Mist
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 26 December 2018 When it comes to Apocalypse World, I haven’t had anything that really made me say “Wow,” outside of “Wow, I can’t believe I bought this book.” I picked up Dungeon World a few years back at the suggestion of a friend, and I just hated the way it...

A Sneak Peek Of The Slaughter – Unboxing Monster Slaughter
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 28 November 2018 While November has been a chaotic month of illness, emergencies, and other not-so-nice-things, I didn't want to leave all of you without a regular post. So, in lieu of my in-depth post of City of Mist, I'm here this week to give you a look into the board game Monster Slaughter. I... Continue Reading →

First Steps Into A New Rokugan: Legend of the Five Rings 5th Edition
As a fan of Japanese history and culture, my friends in college were shocked that I had never heard of Legend of the Five Rings (well, outside of Miyamoto Musashi’s Book of Five Rings). Better known as L5R, the game lets you play as samurai or magician-priests in a setting that is culturally Japan and... Continue Reading →
Hacking Into Cryptomancer
Mixing sci-fi and fantasy is often a risky gamble, but it has worked for some stories. Having the game Cryptomancer described to me as “Computer Hacking Meet Tolkien,” I was already wary. I am admittedly not a fan of Tolkein, and Shadowrun often comes off as too clunky for my taste, so I wasn’t sure... Continue Reading →
From the Shelf of the NPC: Celtic Legends
As I've promised before, I'm adding reviews of books "From the Shelf of the NPC," regardless of age or how good (or bad) it is. These can be considered "filler", but at the same time, I like the idea of finding random books (usually on the cheap) that people may have missed in general and... Continue Reading →
From The Shelf Of The NPC: Amusing Salvage in Scavengers
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...
