Sanctuary
The rat scurried onto Domino's left hand, icy little toes curling themselves around his fingers for warmth. He wanted to scream, but swallowed instead, settling for a short, silent prayer to Rictus. No doubt if he could hear such a prayer, it would be here, in his temple. Beneath his very altar.
Lorthyne's Podcast Review: 7th Son
7th Son is a science fiction thriller written and read by budding novelist J.C. Hutchins. This is the first of many reviews of my latest boredom-suppressing form of media: podcasts. Most of the podcasts I’ll be reviewing are role-playing specific, but there will be several, this one included, that are audiobooks distributed in the podcast format.

In Horror RPGs, You Can Use Your Weapons
I'm not sure what else I could have done. They were pissed and nothing, NOTHING I could say would change that, so I just gave up and left. After what I'd done, I couldn't ask them to put up with any more. What did I do? Well, I wasted lots of good karma on a stupid stunt, thats what. More detail? Ok.

The Prisoners of Gilligan's Island
Sit right down and you'll hear a tale, a tale of dirty tricks. That started in this tropic port, aboard this pirate's ship. Five prisoners that sailed that day would squeal or endure.

The Hoeton Barbarians
So, you’re heading for the Northlands are you? Well sit down, let me tell you a few things you’ll be glad to know, and I’m not talking about the white behemoths or the ice trolls. Everyone who’s ever heard a nursery rhyme knows plenty about all that. I’m talking about the toughest people you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting. It's a tribe from the furthest Northwoods, as told by a veteran of the troll wars (and a character for GURPS 3rd edition).

Swing Of The Pendulum
Gamegrene readers, this is a portion and a shortened/condensed version of Pandora�s Journal. The journey starts at the second entry of Stone Tooth and for those who have gone through the Forge of Fury by Richard Baker, may recognize some of the story line. The reason it starts at the second entry is because this is when I decided to create the journal, and events of the first time we entered Khundrukar had long since escaped my memory. Now, even if you have not gone through this adventure, don�t worry. The journal is merely a prop for the article below and a perspective of an adventure from start to finish for your reading pleasure.
Loot and Pillage: Now It's Your Turn
Kerek drained his mug and stood. As much as he liked the food, atmosphere, and company in The Frothing Otter, he could not laze about the tavern all day. His slender fingers reached into his belt pouch to fetch a silver crown for the tab, and maybe another for buxom Lucinda behind the bar. But all his hand encountered was hard leather. He scrabbled in the pouch, not believing his senses. Where were his fat gold crowns? Where had all his silver gone? Had he not even a filthy copper penny to his name, for all love?
The Unorthodox Tales
Theophenes sat on the stool and ordered a keg of wine."A whole keg?" the barkeep said, raising his eye at the large figure.
