Monster Manual IV introduces creative new monsters while providing existing monster packages and encounter locations to decrease the game preparation time of busy DMs.

RPG Review: The Turakian Age (2004) by James Gillen
In a time long ago, far before the dawn of Atlantis, Earth was a world of high magic and wonder. But in the fifth millennium of the age, the peace of the realm was threatened by a rising evil from the North, a demonic archmage named Kal-Turak. And then David Eddings sued Steve Long for copyright infringement.

RPG Review: Traveller (2008) by Jon Harmon
The venerable Traveller's latest incarnation is a solid ruleset that serves as a partial introduction to gaming in the Third Imperium.

RPG Review: Shaintar: Immortal Legends (2007) by Lee Reynoldson
Shaintar: Immortal Legends is an excellent High Fantasy setting for Savage Worlds.

RPG Review: Spirit of the Season (2008) by Christopher W. Richeson
Spirit of the Season wildly succeeds at delivering action packed fun for the holidays!

RPG Review: The Random Esoteric Creature Generator for Classic Fantasy Roleplaying Games and their Modern Simulacra (2008) by Jason Vey
An incredibly useful supplement for fantasy role playing games that suffers from layout and the author's antagonism towards d20.

Board/Tactical Game Review: Freya's Folly by Tom Vasel
A fun, simple game in which players utilize their dwarfs to mine gems to make jewelery. A decent array of choices and "leapfrogging" movement keep it light and interesting.

Board/Tactical Game Review: Plateau by Tom Vasel
A confusing abstract with simple-appearing rules, but deep, inconvenient tactics. Okay production, but nothing to grab you here.

Card Game Review: Ticket to Ride: The Card Game (2008) by Shannon Appelcline
A well-designed card game that combines set collection with some risk taking and some memory, overall producing a great filler.

Comic Review: Hercules: The Thracian Wars #1 (2008) by Shannon Appelcline
A new comic about Hercules, dripping with myth and history alike.
