Review: Truth on Consequences

Posted on November 26, 2012 by Chris Jensen Romer

OK, so what happened? Well about a month ago, having paid up front in July, I suddenly realised I had best sign up for some games. I chose Starship Aries, a Star Trek style game, Dulce et decorum est (set in 1938 during the Munich Crisis), Midsummer Mischief based upon the characters of PG Wodehouse, Gallery of Shades a Cthulhu game set in the 1920’s and Come Hel or Hiawatha, a game set in Viking Vinland.

Even if you normally don’t like games, give it a go! And do read the review – because I include details on how you can try it out from the comfort of your own pc for free… Continue reading →

Heroquest 2.0 – the first mini-review?

Posted on July 1, 2009 by Chris Jensen Romer

It’s just gone one here, one hour since Heroquest officially became available! And here are my very first thoughts, pending a proper review later in the week, to be posted on rpg.net. I cheated, Jeff Richards gave me a copy of the pdf on Friday so I could get cracking on the review, and even with the weekend from hell behind me i have no had a chance to make a very brief first foray – full review to follow soon… Continue reading →
