Barkhäxan (OSR) + Knakekvist + Gråtmyrsbarn And now for something completely different! So, how is your Swedish? If the answer was “rudimentary”, I’ve got some great news: You can actually play this, or use it to freshen up/improve your Swedish! So yeah, this game, to my knowledge, only exists in Swedish. If you are still learning the language, my...

Maze Rats (OSR) Okay, so Maze Rats is a rules-lite, condensed version of the OSR-style of gaming, a fan favorite for those who don’t like the bingo apps free style of games; the system is more akin to games like Into the Odd than e.g. AD&D; depending on which pdf you consult, you’ll have pdfs of 12 or 14 pages...

Ultimate Spheres of Power This massive, colossal doorstopper of a tome clocks in at 626 pages of content. No, I am not kidding. This review was moved up in my reviewing queue due to one of my readers actually sending me a print copy of the book with a request to review it. Beyond the challenges 2020 held for...

Black Void: Core Book (Black Void RPG) The Black Void’s core book is a massive tome of 404 pages if you take away editorial, front cover, ToC, backer lists, character sheet, (brief) glossary, index, etc., so quite a lot to digest. I have received a print copy of this tome for the purpose of a fair and unbiased review;...

Best Left Buried Deluxe Edition (BLB) This game clocks in at 152 pages, 1 page introduction, 1 page editorial, 1 page character sheet, leaving us with 149 pages (A5/ 6’’ by 9’’) of content. My review is primarily based on the offset-printed hardcover, which is a sturdy tome; it’s glued, but expertly so, and takes a lot of punishment. The...
