AAR- Checkpoint Bravo: Gaslands Race!
I must say, this Gaslands game is making waves. The initial book printing sold out, and has since been reprinted. Apparently, lots of gamers are excited about souping up their vehicles and bringing their favorite pulp apocalyptic death car movies to life! Well, not real life, in which the people on Chicago highways already seem ... Read more
A Hazardous Wind: Gaslands Impressions
Ah, who else remembers the good ol’ days of snake shaped racing cars that could unleash explosive barrages and hit ramps with enough speed to jump and successfully land hundreds of feet away with the driver’s spine still intact only to live and fight another day? Fine summer afternoons spent with automotive carnage (;D) and ... Read more

Excerpt from the diary of an Unlikely Survivor Harviston End (Of biters and brakemen) We emerged, molelike and blinking into dawn’s milky light.
