RPG Review: 1248 Sourcebook 1: Out of the Darkness (2006) by Shannon Appelcline
A superb book that bridges the gaps between the Golden Era, the Rebellion, and the New Era of the Traveller universe--then goes 50 years' further as well.

RPG Review: Slipstream (2008) by Ken MacLennan
A satisfying homage to Flash Gordon and his cliff-hanging ilk, and a good match for the Savage Worlds system.

RPG Review: Warlocks and Detectives (2008) by L.J.Steele
Police, PIs, and Vigilantees in an Alternate World. Likely useful to Edge of Midnight GMs, but of limited interest to others.

RPG Review: Alpha Omega: The Beginning and the End (2008) by Steven Lindsey
Alpha Omega is Mind Storm Labs flaghship game. Taking elements of Zecharia Sitchin, Alan Alford, Judge Dread, Rifts, Shadowrun, and In Nomine, Alpha Omega along with the 6-6 system creates a wonderful post-apocalyptic setting with a fun crunchy system.

An easy to learn system combined with a very atmospheric setting. Perfect for new players and old hands alike.

RPG Review: GURPS Traveller: Behind the Claw (1998) by Shannon Appelcline
A superb, but dry, reference for the Spinward Marches that should be in the library of every single Mongoose Traveller GM running a game in that sector of space.

RPG Review: Player's Handbook 2 (2009) by James Gillen
Yes, now you can finally play a Gnome Barbarian. But that would be silly.
