We have something to put on your radar for your summer and Spooky Season gamenights! We review NIGHTFRIGHT, a GM-less, rules-light, map-making horror TTRPG. Player characters are children who find themselves in an unlit and twisty nightmare version of their house. Grab your flashlights, pack some snacks, and link arms--the doors and windows are no longer where they should be and you need to find a way out! The 'power of friendship' isĀ not enough and no one (or entity) is around toĀ help you... especially not that silouette in the dark stalking you. By the way, Happy Canada Day and Happy Fourth of July!Ā ++ My mic picked up a lot more noise than I thought. Sorry that the post-production filters make some parts sound flatter than others! ++ Follow-up to my baby announcement the previous ep (#X1):Ā the newborn has arrived!Ā TTRPG Material Used:š¹"NIGHTFRIGHT, a Horror TTRPG" is written, designed, and laid out by Alexei Vella, with art by Alexei Vella and mortifer.um.

Something different again. We review the indie sci fi horror film "Bone Keeper". Synopsis:Ā Six friends investigate the legend of the 'Bone Keeper' in a UK forest and cave system. But deep in the caves, they realise they are being hunted, and the line between hunter and prey blurs.Ā 'Cabin watch' or skip?Ā This episode is spoiler-free. Let me know what you think of the occasional movie or wargaming/boardgame-focused episode on this show. But don't worry, the next episode WILL be TTRPG related, if not Mothership or Cyberpunk-focused! Content Warning:Violence and body horror (mentioned). Film Reviewed:š¼ "Bone Keeper" (2025) is directed and written by Howard J. Ford, starring Sarah Alexandra Marks, Louis James, Tiffany Hannam-Daniels, and featuring John Rhys-Davies. Thank you again to Strike Media and Plaion Pictures for the advanced screener. The movie has been available on VOD in the UK and US (?) since April 6. At the time of episode release, it still does not to appear to be available in Canada.
