Just grabbed the new Alderland expansion for Forbidden Lands and had a flick through. Damn, for 250-odd pages, it's *lean*. Aside from a bit of introductory prose, and some background plot threads, EVERYTHING is sandbox. This is good, I like this a lot.

PANL is my submission to the 1 page rpg jam. It's a game about printing clones and torturing them in the hopes that they maybe develop psychic abilities and you don't get sent back to permanent cryo sleep. Uhhh play it with your weirdo friends and have fun dying a bunch. snowttrpg.itch.io/panl

Gloam is a fantasy tarot adventure game inspired by fairy tales and folklore. It has an elegant lifepath system, rules for alchemy and folk magick, gritty combat, and a full bestiary and 50+ magick artifacts. Try it out, I think you'll enjoy it. It's different from a lot of other games out there!

Who puts the Tower on the cover? Sam Helms does, apparently — and somehow pulls it off. Full review of Gloam, the tarot-based OSR that actually earns its central conceit, is up on the Gazette. #TheRPGGazette #GloamRPG #OSR #IndieRPG #Review

The Cards Foretell: Reviewing Gloam
Right. So, what’s a gloam, anyway? Hang on, let me open something. Gloam (noun; archaic): Twilight. - Merriam-Webster Dictionary I hope this doesn’t have vampires in it. We’re already overbooked with Vampire: The Masquerade. Lame jokes aside, it’s weird for me to do reviews and not talk about things I’m intimately familiar with, so bear with me here. Comfort zone and all that.
