You shall likely die trying.Puppetland is a storytelling game. You play a valiant puppet who speaks aloud every word you say. You speak for your puppet and the Puppetmaster says the rest. You surprise each other at every turn, collaborating moment by inspired moment to unlock your own creativity and find the puppet within.This lavishly illustrated edition of Puppetland has been significantly revised and expanded. It includes a grim storybook fable of the Maker's foul murder; new Tales ready to be played, written by a brilliant collection of authors; and the true story of the creator's life in Puppetland.Your puppets are ready to take the stage. But speak softly, lest the Nutcrackers hear - and come to call with a sharp rap-rap-rapping at the door.

Traveller Reach Adventure 2: Theories of Everything

Set in the Sindal Subsector featured in the recently released Core Rulebook, Theories of Everything is an exciting and memorable adventure set in the Trojan Reach.In Reach Adventure 2: Theories of Everything the Travellers are hired as crew and research assistants aboard the laboratory vessel Insight III. The ship is owned by a cooperative of scientists working in a cross-discipline environment to solve problems and discover knowledge as they journey across the vast reaches of space... or so they claim. In fact, Insight III is basically a jump-capable shouting match as its owners bicker, squabble and argue their erratic way across a dangerous subsector.The Travellers' mission is thus more than merely running the ship and helping collect data. They will need to be advisers, diplomats and bodyguards too, injecting a little common sense into the heady mix of ego and brilliance aboard Insight III. The storyline of the adventure is as much about the interactions of the scientists and crew as the situations they find themselves in, and it my be that the Travellers' greatest challenge will be keeping the scientists from murdering one another...Includes two new vehicles: the Sealed Air/Raft and the Electric Dirt Bike.

Troika!

The world is drowning in nostalgic dross. Everyone with a set of thumbs has glued together a dungeon and a dragon, slapped on a name that tickle our childhood memories and called it good to print.I've got thumbs but I prefer fantasy fighting.What you have here is the bare bones of a role playing game that looks to show that the golden age of UK RPGs has some life left in its neglected old bones. The breed used here, when freed of corporate control and given some vigorous remodelling, shines as a smooth and flexible system that takes a solid five minutes to explain. The guts are tight, logical and robust, ready for a comeback in a new coat of paint.But this isn't really paint. Troika! is a vast unfinished construction on top of sturdy foundations, built in the original's image as it might have been seen out of the corner of your eye on a sunny day. Obscure and incandescent.
