Good? Bad? What makes it stand out? This is where reviews live.

Star Trek was visionary, except for…

Star Trek is a science-fiction gem. A gift that keeps on giving. Its simple, yet powerful concept about space exploration in the name of science and discovery is a brilliant idea. There are even technologies from the show that have inspired people ever since the very first series aired so many years ago. Tablets anyone?…

Bardcore, medieval musical fun

It can be a lot of fun to simply dig into piles of information in search of gems. This was the case for me the other day when I was playing with a music streaming service. Completely by accident, I typed my way into playlists of music called, “Bardcore”. Just the name made me laugh…

  • Dishonored RPG, review

    Dishonored RPG, review

    This was originally written for The British Fantasy Society. When first released as a video game, Dishonored was lauded for its open-world gameplay. Now, Dishonored has transitioned from screen to tabletop, and Modiphius has published this new iteration of the game using its 2d20 system. What initially stands out is how much the setting and tone of the… Read more

  • Infinity Wilderness of Mirrors Deck, review

    Infinity Wilderness of Mirrors Deck, review

    This was originally written for The British Fantasy Society. Published by Modiphius, Wilderness of Mirrors is a great name for describing a component of the Infinity role-playing game. This deck capitalizes on a quirk that gives Infinity a sense of having layers. Individual player characters can have objectives that they’ll need to pursue, but these goals can conflict with others in… Read more

    Conan the King, review

    This was originally written for The British Fantasy Society. It isn’t very often gaming offers a “riches to riches” book.  However, Modiphius submits to the gaming public Conan the King.

    When it comes to music, people’s tastes vary wildly, as they should. However, there is one figure that looms large in the realm of pulp culture, John Williams. His synonymous with award-winning films and film scores. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone that couldn’t hum a few bars from at least one of… Read more

  • The Art of Conan Sourcebook, review

    The Art of Conan Sourcebook, review

    This was originally written for The British Fantasy Society. Art inspired by genre fiction sometimes struggles to find an audience. It generally doesn’t hang in galleries, and the artists that create it aren’t necessarily well-known. While it won’t solve those problems, The Art of Conan by Modiphius is a compilation of the art from the entire Conan: Adventure… Read more
