Stargate was a fantastic franchise. The original movie was great, but what I really loved was everything that came after it. Specifically, the series really took on a new life when it hit TV screens in 1997. That a single sci-fi movie spawned such a huge TV franchise is really something special. So, then, let's… Continue reading Step Through the Stargate: Playtest for Wyvern Games
There's some older content on this blog that I'm rather proud of but which doesn't really get read any more. This is natural as people are always looking for the newest thing out there.

The world of Paranoia is one of dystopian bureaucracy and it is important that you, as the GM,… Continue reading RPG Resources: Paranoia Paperwork
With the recent revival of the Star Wars franchise in the form of the theatrical (and more recent DVD) release of The Force Awakens, along with the excellent TV shows, The Clone Wars and Rebels, I think it's safe to say I've been on something of a Star Wars kick. With that in mind, I feel that it's as good a… Continue reading Playing in the Star Wars Galaxy: Part 1 (The Past)
