Infinity Deck Locations, review
This was originally written for The British Fantasy Society. Role-playing games always have locations; stories need settings. Sometimes situations arise that mean a little extra help is needed if a game heads in a direction that maybe wasn’t planned for. To that end, Modiphius has published a deck of locations to help ease the anxiety that comes…

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…

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…

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. If you’re a fan of Conan, then you know that he “ascended “ to the throne, and became king. This supplement builds on that idea. The…

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…

Conan: Kull of Atlantis, review
This was originally written for The British Fantasy Society. Before Conan, there was Kull, Robert E. Howard’s precursor to the infamous Cimerrian. The barbarian that paved the road for Conan is formally adapted for gaming, and Modiphius’ supplement, Kull of Atlantis, allows gamers to explore the ancient past of the world of Conan. This book stands…

Star Trek Adventures: Klingon Core Rule Book, review
This was originally written for The British Fantasy Society. Today is a good day to die! game! And with that sentiment, Modiphius has published Star Trek Adventures: Klingon Core Rulebook to explore the cosmos from an entirely different perspective. This is as unique, as it is unexpected because the book is not a supplement building on the Star Trek Adventures Core Rulebook.…

Star Trek Adventures Back to Reality, review
This was originally written for The British Fantasy Society. Mysterious anomalies have been discovered in a dense asteroid belt, and the Federation wants to investigate. This module puts players in an area of space that has a bizarrely high concentration of quantum disturbances. Characters will be tasked with bringing back samples of the asteroids that…

Achtung! Cthulhu: Operation Marseille
*This was originally written for The British Fantasy Society. A race against time in three acts to stop Black Sun Agents from completing a ritual in the French city of Marseille. Section M must try to stop the creation of a weapon that is powerful enough to affect an entire city. Modiphius offers a tense…

Achtung! Cthulhu 2d20: Operation Snowstorm, review
This was originally written for The British Fantasy Society. With so much focus on the European front, that World War 2 was a global affair often feels a bit taken for granted. Modiphius brought the conflict to Western Canada (British Columbia) with the Achtung! Cthulhu 2d20 mission, Operation Snowstorm. Set in the Canadian Rockies, players will navigate their…
