Indie Table-Top RPG Spotlight: Apocalypse Prevention, Inc.

You know… the one with Lara Flynn Boyle practically naked… that’s pretty much it; that movie was rough. However, one of the most entrancing

If not now, When?

Too many times we are held back by our ideas. I can’ts, I won’ts, and I couldn’ts block us from doing things that we really want to in this world. Games give us a great learning tool of problem solving, they help us beef up our logic muscles and intuitive chops. The logic behind it
