‘Parasite Eve’ 25th Anniversary – How Well Does the PlayStation Horror Classic Hold Up?

I’m a big RPG fan now, but that wasn’t always the case. Super Mario RPG introduced me to the genre, but, like many people my age, Final Fantasy VII was the one that wowed me the most. After Final Fantasy VII, I was hungry for more, and Square’s next RPG was one that was surprisingly […]

‘Public Access’ Brings Analog Terror to the World of Tabletop RPGs [Review]

When The Gauntlet published Brindlewood Bay, author Jason Cordova realized that he had a framework that could be applied to other tabletop roleplaying game settings aside from mystery-solving grannies that run afoul of fiendish cults.

Even though I ended up really positive on Alien, I often find tabletop RPGs based on existing properties to be under satisfying.
