On Mighty Thews!

A set of games in the background, a controller up front. The symbol of feminism, a closed fist in the sign of woman, on top.

There are a few role-playing games out there that I admire the heck out of, just because they dare to be slightly different. I found this via Filamena Young and I have another example that I'd like to bundle up in this post. I love RPGs that dare to do stuff just a little bit... Continue Reading →

A purple bag with dice spilling out of it.

Some time ago, I made the enormous mistake of downloading F.A.T.A.L. as a PDF. To be honest I was curious about this, according to many, abominable role-playing game.
