Mausritter (2020) is so good! ¶ So, much as I enjoyed Mouse Guard, I felt like it was ultimately too complex for what it was trying to do (and the big pool of first-time RPGers it seemed primed to attract). Mausritter, which bills itself as “swords-and-whiskers role-playing,…

Best of The Dragon (1979). Cover by John Barnes. The first of five best of anthologies, this one covers material from both The Dragon and the earlier Strategic Review. Unlike later best ofs, there is no clear month of issue, but since it boasts the new logo, let’s call it Ju…

Castles Book II (originally 1978, this printing later, probably 1981) is a bit better than Village Book 1 in that the castle filled hexes look thought out and interesting. I could get use out of these, with a little work. I still have trouble reading them. The hex lines need…
