The prequel to Gamma World, James Ward’s “dungeon in the sky” was out of print by the early 1980s, but occupies a deserved position in the RPG hall of fame anyway.  Check it out.

(Thanks to the illustrious John Joseph Adams for suggesting that I get involved with Tor’s online community, though I should note I have no plans to stop blogging at the awesome Suvudu.)

First up is Traveller. Go over there and say hi, or comment here on what game you want to see me talk about next….
