Valkyrie Quarterly

Issue 26 of Valkyrie Quarterly, the Independent, Grass-roots RPG zine is now available from selected stores worldwide.

Valkyrie is a quarterly British roleplaying magazine dedicated to grass roots roleplaying, to use a cliché: 'by gamers for gamers'. Its content is predominantly scenarios, source material, optional rules etc., with fairly minimal industry related content. Valkyrie does however have a good reputation for its honest, no nonsense reviews.

In issue 26:

'The Way of the Chocolate Ninja' is a tongue-in-cheek multisystem article introducing a ninja with a conscience (with stats for HKATII, Feng Shui and OtE)
'Tears of the Godi' for Ars Magica is an intrigue-ridden scenario set in the lands of the Vikings
'Loose Cannon' is a Cyberpunk 2020 scenario in which the players are hired to stop an assassination by a drugged up, wired up rogue agent.
'Delicatesse' introduces a fighting school for 7th Sea designed for the ladies of high society.
'Cat and Mouse' for GURPS Ogre has the players hiding from a MkV Ogre in a hostile, AI controlled city.
Plus: British scenario hooks for Adventure! and guidelines on how to run 'troupe' style campaigns.

The Inheritance

The debut horror novel by Christopher Stires.

Imagine that you could have your every wish . . . whim . . . and desire . . .

What would you want?

And what would others want from you?

Jess Claiborne is about to find out.

After eight years in a Mexican prison, Jess is attempting to readjust to normal life. Then he inherits a mysterious box from his murdered uncle -- a box that will grant his every wish. Jess soon realizes that ownership of the box comes with a terrible price tag -- possibly the life of the woman he loves, and his own.
