Wizard Cops

Generic (crime, fantasy)
Newstand Press
2015
Complexity: 2

Wizard Cops is a very short game about cops that police wizards, and may also be wizards. It is basically an example of a game, and I’m just going to quote its intention. “ It's only a paragraph long, but it is used as an example how a very small number of rules can create very specific conflicts with controlled resolutions.”
So that’s what we’re working with here, and let’s see if this game can break the curse of games titled Wizard _ _ _ _.

The first three episodes are already out and cover character creation for Original, Basic, and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.

Complexity: 2

Maybe, but it is most certainly that thing.

The Doctor Who Role Playing Game


Join me as I take a look at the first ever Doctor Who RPG, The Doctor Who Role Playing Game released by FASA in 1985. Bonus trivia: after the first printing, all images of Colin Baker (the Sixth Doctor) were removed, and many replaced with images of Tom Baker (the Fourth Doctor).
