RPG Review: Dungeon World (2012) by Civil Savage
Dungeon World is a strong game if you buy into its assumptions, values, and style. It certainly is working for me.

RPG Review: Lords of Olympus (2012) by Shelby "D.J." Babb
If you missed Amber Diceless Role Playing, you should probably pick it up just to see how the diceless system of that game works. If you want a book on ancient Greek gods that targets gamers, you should immediately pick it up. Lords of Olympus is certainly not for everyone, but those who like it will probably love it.

RPG Review: Itras By (2012) by Andrew Peregrine
In general, this is an intriguing and well executed piece of game design, and the background is both absorbing and inspiring. The material here will be useful in some way to anyone with an imagination.

RPG Review: On Mighty Thews (2012) by Asen Georgiev
A wonderful rules-lite S&S game that tends towards the "story games" spectrum, and helps you to create a "custom" setting to explore during your adventures!

RPG Review: The Spinward Marches (2008) by Jonathan Hicks
In spite of the unsuitable artwork and the lack of definitive adventure ideas, this is a good book with great ideas and I can see a gaming group getting many sessions of use out of it.
