Special Demo Review - Maschine Zeit



I played in a demo this weekend. It's for an unreleased game called Maschine Zeit. My spell checker hates it. How did I feel? Check it out.

As an aside, when checking out their website you are allowed to use the actual English spelling of machine in Machine Age Productions.

Oh I forgot to mention in the video, the game also apparently has a system for characters with psychic powers. That way you can include one in your party to turn your regular horror into Steven King horror. I didn't mention it because we didn't use those rules in the demo.

The second review - Passion Play



And here is the second promised review of a game I didn't like quite so much, a lazy, half-assed LARP conversion of a pretty decent table top game. So, everyone get out your doublets, lace up your breeches and strap on your blasters for the Passion of the Fading Suns.

The first review - Malifaux

OK as promised here is my first ever game review. It's a charming little minis game where cowgirls fight wizards and murderous cockneys in hell.... Malifaux.

Follow up note: There was in fact a Drew Barrymore movie called Doppelganger in 1993 although whether the model has anything to do with that, as was suggested, I do not know. I am also unlikely to find out as that would require watching a 1993 Drew Barrymore evil twin thriller and I really have better things to do with my life.
