Review – Flavor of Pact Magic
I was a little bit tentative when I saw the website for Secrets of Pact Magic. After all, it describes itself as “an inspired, fantasy role-playing version of real-world pact magic” based off of  magic “described in various texts dating back to at least the 17th century in the Ars Goetia, which is the first section of The Lesser Key of Solomon.” Oh no, I thought to myself, or at least I would have if I had known I was going to write this. Please don’t tell me this is going to be a “scholarly” RPG supplement. It is not, thankfully. It’s a cool set of rules for 3.5 (with a Pathfinder co

Why I Want a Doctor Who RPG Series Box
I was browsing the Cubicle 7 forums looking for info about the Doctor Who RPG (unfortunately, details are very slim… seems like the BBC is keeping them on tight lockdown) when I found this post: Instead of modules i think a series style book each year (or every 6 months or so) would be best, these could cover a series of adventures with a slow building arc that finishes in a huge mega event style adventure at the end(kinda like the tv show does) but the arc would be entirely optional to the adventures so th

SPUC – Week of November 11th
Why, hello there Secret Project Update Club. Remember me? No? Well, here are my updates anyway: Codename Charging Unicorn – Made some progress on this. Got an idea of what I want to include, and will get to writing this soon. Codename Backup Dancer – Recent events have compelled me to maybe consider getting back to work on this, and soon.

Codename Power Struggle – Another adventure idea. Thankfully I’ve got some

MacHeist is Back!
Sorry for the lack of updates recently – I was sick again, and in addition to that, it’s NaNoWriMo time, so expect reduced blog posts during this month. Hopefully it won’t affect my blogging schedule too much, but chances are I won’t be blogging as much. I’ll try to get up at least one or two blog posts a week if I can. In the meantime, however, MacHeist has released a great, FREE bundle to (I assume) kick-off MacHeist 4 – although they haven’t actually announced whether that’s what is going on or not. The bundle has some pretty great software, like: WriteRoom

Small Press Week – This Is EPIC (RPG)!
Alright, Zach Houghton of RPG Blog II beat me to writing about what makes Epic RPG unique – he has a very nice summary up on his site here, and anything I could have done would pale in comparison. But I did get a chance to ask Kent Davis, a Partner in Dark Matter Studios, a few questions about the Mark II edition of Epic RPG, so I still have something to bring to the table. Here’s what he had to say. What’s New in the Mark II Edition of Epic RPG The largest change we’ve made to the book is the addition of a raft of bran
