My Favorite Published Adventure

January 5, 2007 by Dave

A little break from my boardgame design tribulations, as I take a look at tabletop rpgs… Publishing adventures is a tough business nowadays.

Testing My Resolve

January 3, 2007 by Bartoneus

Certainly a heavy stipulation to tag onto any resolution is the line “unless I die in the process,” but with a game as sinisterly difficult as Ultimate Ghosts’n’Goblins it may just come down to that.  Given to me as a christmas present, I dove right in on December 25th and chose the Normal Difficulty level […]
