RPG Review: Den of the Destoyer (2008) by Baz King
If you and your group can get past the clunky exposition, then there are some memorable encounters to be had within. Certainly its brought the average up after recent installments. Worth a punt.

RPG Review: Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Monster Manual (2008) by Cason Snow

RPG Review: Fighting Fantasy RPG by Jonathan Hicks
The Fighting Fantasy RPG - in my opinion the perfect RPG to ease new players into the hobby. Simple, light and fast with a mass of background material to help.

Card Game Review: Desperados (2009) by Shannon Appelcline
A light partnership card game that plays fast, but that has limited depth. Also, the return of one of Knizia's earliest releases.

RPG Review: Lost Mines of Karak (2008) by Baz King
This adventure really does feel like a side trek, padded out to make it fit the demands of the adventure path. It has a couple of very good locations and a few memorable encounters, but its let down by the ending.

RPG Review: On Her Majesty's Arcane Service (2009) by Graham Bottley
OHMAS is a very interesting game. The layout and presentation is decent, but looks unfinished, but the core idea is very novel. Not exactly Fantasy, but also not Historical, this is a good, well written game with huge potential.

RPG Review: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Career Compendium (2009) by Darren MacLennan
For a catalog of careers, it's actually pretty darn good, mixing interesting blurblets about the various careers with some really excellent artwork.
