• RPG Review: Faith of Sigmar (2012)

  Capsule Review by Michael Bay (5/4): FFG's first print-on-demand card set for Warhammer provides new spells and items specifically for priests of Sigmar, and a taste of the new rules to come in the Hero's Call expansion.

• Board/Tactical Game Review: Venture Forth

  Playtest Review by Shannon Appelcline (5/5): A great new fantasy adventure game, with interesting mechanics and fast play.

• Book/Nonfiction Review: Designers & Dragons (2011)

  Capsule Review by Michael Tresca (3/5): Shannon has crafted a critical building block for future role-playing game scholars. I just wish it had been published earlier.

• Book/Nonfiction Review: Stealing Cthulhu (2011)

  Capsule Review by committed hero (3/5): If you want literary criticism, read Tour de Lovecraft. If you want to thrill Mythos roleplayers, read this.

• RPG Review: HeroQuest Core Rules Second Edition (2009)

  Capsule Review by Dreamstreamer (4/5): Robin D. Laws HeroQuest revision breaks from its Gloranthan ties to produce a universal narrative game playable in any genre.

• RPG Review: Hacklopedia of Beasts (2011)

  Capsule Review by Hans Cummings (5/5): EXCELLENT production values, a great mix of fluff & crunch.

• Card Game Review: Hot Potato (2011)

  Playtest Review by Shannon Appelcline (3/3): A humorous and very light card game for the family that's pretty average.
