Consider, if you will, a situation in which a GM is attempting to describe a monster [...]

Free Ticket to Talislanta

Wednesday, April 27, 2011

One of the games I have always found visually intriguing is Talislanta, the unconventional fantasy role-playing game written by Stephan Michael Sechi and illustrated by P.D. Breeding-Black (and others after the first edition). It is a game steeped in the alien and the exotic, and as such it has a richly detailed background, lending itself [...]

In a comment on my article Road-Warring, Michael P.

Darlene, Artist

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

Darlene also created [...]
