Legend In The Mist – Rustic Fantasy & Goo
I’d been seeing some stuff about a game called City of Mist, a sort of Supernatural Noir thing, but couldn’t get a session; Then I noticed demos of Legend in the Mist, their fantasy variant, using the same or a similar system.So I figured, why not? I ran into the guy who’d run an impromptu1…

Eclipse Phase – Hit It With A Mop?
I’ve played the Fate version of this game before, where at least some of the comedy-horror was unintentional on my part; When escaping from a swarming bug/microbe in a vehicle with a cracked windscreen, it makes sense to stop it from getting in through the cracks, and what we had was lab cleaning equipment, so…
