Exclusive to Highland Games
- What is role-playing?
- Role-playing is getting together with friends to write a story. It’s joining around a campfire or a dining room to spin some tall tales. Role-playing is being creative and having fun with friends.
- The Biblyon Broadsheet
- Like adventurers of old you will delve into forgotten tombs where creatures of myth stalk the darkness. You will search uncharted wilderness for lost knowledge and hidden treasure. Where the hand-scrawled sign warns “beyond here lie dragons,” your stories begin.
- Men & Supermen
- Men & Supermen is a superhero role-playing game designed for a wide variety of characters, both of powers and power levels.
- Net Games
- Complete free or shareware tabletop, paper-and-pencil role-playing games.
- The San Diego Free Trade Zone
- The moment Aztlan military units moved north into Camp Pendleton, Aztlan negotiators were already meeting with local interests to ensure a peaceful change of command. In what must be one of the great economic skin jobs of all time, San Diego was wrested from the CFS and turned into the California Free Trade Zone.
