Those familiar with Cyberpunk 2020 should recognize this although I'm not keen on the randomness so I'd just keep it based upon decisions. You can find similar takes on generating a detailed character background / statistics set in the likes of PARANOIA's Criminal Histories and the classic Heroes o...

I have discovered the Hew Cullan Mysteries by Shirley McKay - starting with Hue and Cry - set in Tudor Scotland. Worth it from the standpoint of the Guilds/Companies and the scholarly angle of inducting pupils from both well-to-do families and those reliant on the kindness of a bursary. Recommended ...

An extension on the last, Maelstrom gamers would do well to root out one of more of Jonathon Green's books on slang. While I have the Cassell Dictionary Of Slang , he has contributed to, or edited, other volumes. I managed to pick up something specifically on Cant (the language of thieves), which ha...

I agree with the principle of what you're saying. In many respects, the Mercenary warrants consideration as a grouping of sub-specialties rather than a single type of Living. Soldiers selling their talents for cash will invariably have spent time in different forces learning different skills and gat...

Fighting Fantasy has an iconic and simple system. If you are a certain age and a certain inclination, you will have played at least one book in your youth. You will remember SKILL, STAMINA and LUCK. Heck, you'll also remember that eating provisions restored 4 STAMINA. And that the best way to finish...

Our Lady's Mantle
Another plant for herbalists to foist on the unwary, offering the promise of firm bosoms, apparently, as well as a cure for common stomach ailments.

Maelstrom Herbal Overview
I hope that this spreadsheet overview of herbs in Maelstrom (and also from the as yet unpublished Maelstrom: Beggars' Companion) provides a useful quick reference for gamemaster and Herbalist players alike.

I definitely think pre-game (or mid-game) aging warrants further consideration (but, I can only manage one or two complex rule responses over breakfast). I was thinking along similar lines, Graham, in respect of using that very table. I'm also inclined to consider conjuring up a few tables to broade...
