It’s Valentine’s Day and we are in a sentimental mood at the Red Room. That’s why we dedicated this special to a couple of the most romantic role-playing games out there: Venger Satanis’ sleazy sci-fi Alpha Blue and Tales of Gor: Gorean Roleplaying by James Grim Desborough.

The Red Room Reviews: Escape from the Flesh Catacombs a fantasy/ horror OSR adventure for Dungeons & Delvers by David Guyll and Melissa Guyll.
Not a good unboxing, but it’s the first one and I can’t repeat it, it’s already out of the box: Lamentations of the Flame Princess and two adventure anthologies (Death and Fire).

We talked to David Guyll about the upcoming Dungeons & Delvers’ second edition and some other projects from Awful Good Games: new scenarios and settings for the OSR fantasy role-playing game and other RPGs coming down the line, such as a western with Lovecraftian influences and a science fantasy world.
