[Review] Nightsider – A Folio Adventure in Three Parts

Written by Michael C. LaBossiere (1992, GDW)

Nightsider was the second and final ‘folio’-style adventure released by Games Designer Workshop (GDW) in the Dark Conspiracy line. Well, when I say adventure, I actually mean a collection of three loosely connected scenarios based in Maine, New England (but easily transferable) that all involve an otherworldly invasion by the the titular Nightsiders. These creatures, beings able to inhabit the bodies of the dead, are slowing but surely infiltrating our dimension, and, as always, it falls on the Minion Hunters to stop this invasion before it is too late.

[Review] Ice Daemon

Written by Creede and Sharleen Lambard (1992, GDW)

Ice_Daemon_fullIce Daemon is a 16 page adventure published in 1992 by Game Designers Workshop for the Dark Conspiracy gameline. It is the first of a new type of folio style adventures produced by GDW, and was indicative of a shot-lived change to the company’s publishing methodology (this format would be used in one other Dark Conspiracy adventure – Nightsider – and at least one adventure for the company’s MERC: 2000 gameline). Generally well received at the time of publication, Ice Daemon remains a good addition to the line, especially as an introduction to new players entering the world of Dark Conspiracy!
