WTF, D&D: The Art and Style of Shadowrun First Edition (1989)

The year is 2050. William Gibson is rolling over in his grave. It is the dark cyberpunk future. Dragons, elves, orcs, and other fantasy creatures have appeared on the earth and changed it forever. Corporations rule the cities and there are deckers using the Matrix to hack some credsticks, chummer. Also, for some reason, Native Americans have…

WTF, D&D: Cthulhu ’90s Solo Project – Serving the Servants

The year is still 1993. Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes is about to discover the Tone Out of Space, Eazy-E and Station are in Egypt investigating a meteor, and Kurt Cobain has gone missing.

WTF, D&D: The Monsters of “Rifts: Chaos Earth”

Rifts: Chaos Earth is a 2003 offshoot of Palladium’s Rifts Megaverse setting. It takes place right after the rifts appeared all over the earth and players become involved in the ensuing chaos of monsters and magic overrunning the planet.

WTF, D&D: Cthulhu ’90s Solo Project – The Toné Out of Space

The year is 1993. Bill Clinton is president, grunge is hitting its flannel stride, gangstsa rap rules on the Westside, and unthinkable horrors lurk just beyond the threshold. This sense of American normalcy is thanks, in part, to the sometimes blundering efforts of Kurt Cobain, Eazy-E, and Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes. Along with their friend…

WTF, D&D: Otherverse America Campaign Setting (The Abortion War RPG)

Chris A. Field is probably the most controversial figure of Indie RPGs. He is responsible for the perverse Black Tokyo setting and, most infamously, its Tournament of Rapists supplement. A supplement so offensive it has actually disappeared from e-sellers like DriveThru RPG. Shoveling rape themes into role playing games is one way to court controversy, but…

WTF, D&D: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: After The Bomb (Palladium)

In 1985, before the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles went mainstream, a little company by the name of Palladium published a role playing game based on the gritty comic book turtles. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness became a big success for the fledgling company. For the first supplement to the TMNT RPG, Palladium decided…
