DARE To Read This Interview With the Co-Creator of Don’t Play With Drugs: The Game
A few months ago, I got my hands on a terrific card game called Don’t Play With Drugs. It’s frenetic, fun, and fast – you can play a game in five minutes, meaning you can either play a marathon of it, play quick rounds of it in between setting up other board games, or even play it while your Dungeon Master is off taking a break. Right After Then, the company behind the game, did a limited run earlier this year, but fear not – they have a Kickstarter running now, which you should absolutely back.

Kickstart This! The Sun-Kissed Edition
It’s the start of June, which means it’s almost the start of summer! Having already caught some rays, me and my peely-waly Scottish skin are now hiding indoors with some mild sunstroke. What better way to spend an evening than trolling through Kickstarter for a worthy project to donate to while peeling burnt skin from my searing red arms?
This month, why not save the universe one shot at a time in Space Monsters Love Bullets, race giant Russian trucks in Spintires, or ride the light fantastic in the magical RPG Reobirth: Magic’s Awakening? There is also the RPG/JRPG/MMO mash-up SideQuest, the chance to help The Gaming Gang cover a dozen sci-fi and gaming conventions in the latter half of 2013, and last but by no means least, Deus Ex Machina 2, a “re-imagining” of the classic game, featuring the voice of Saruman the White himself, Sir Christopher Lee!
Squeeze that sun cream, baby! (more…)
