Anne Rice's Immortal Universe Roleplaying Game Review

By Dean on October 20, 2026

While at Gamehole Con, I got the chance to try the new Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe: Interview with the Vampire RPG. This was exciting, as I am a long-time Vampire: The Masquerade player and, honestly, this was the first time playing a game surrounded by vampires that wasn’t in the World of Darkness. When stepping up to play a game like this, however, it immediately begins to play on the ideas you have formed over the years (or in my case, decades) of playing other games. So, let me talk about my experience, how the game plays, and how close I feel it is to the source material.

New Cosmere Files and 3D Prints

By Dean on October 20, 2026

I’ve been doing a lot of prep work lately (All for Gamehole Con) and in the process I ended up making a pile of new Cosmere files that are worth sharing.

Ivy and Chrome Review

on July 25, 2026

Ivy and Chrome is a Shadowrun adventure from the dawn of Shadowrun (1st edition).

The Matrix Program Package - A Gem from the Early Days of Decking

By Dean on June 9, 2026

While digging through old archives from a mention in a cyberdeck subreddit. I stumbled across something I hadn’t seen in years — the Cyberspace/Matrix Program Package built by IceToaster for Windows 3.x and 95. This thing is a genuine piece of Shadowrun history and I am genuinely excited to share it.

You can find the project and download it directly from SourceForge: Matrix Program Package on SourceForge

What Is It?

The Matrix Program Package lets your decker jack into a 3D DOOM-style cyberspace environment while fully preserving the rules from VR 1.0 and SR 2.01 — and yes, that means VR 1.0, not VR 2.0. If you are a purist who never forgave the rule shift, this one is for you.
