#16 "CyberVoodoo, The Kordavan Way, The Quintessential Cheat"

Issue 16 of Signs & Portents is here, packed with the usual range of goodies for you to devour! With Mongoose’s range of games getting ever wider, so the range of articles in S&P broadens as well. Don’t worry, though. All your old favorites are there as well!

Tales From Mongoose Hall – This month Ian ‘Doghouse’ Belcher relates tales of war in space as the Mongoose crew reach for the stars with A Call To Arms, the Babylon 5 space combat game.

Silent Run Through Nefua – The first of two scenarios for A Call To Arms in this issue, this presents a ‘historical’ battle for you to refight, pitting the Interstellar Alliance against the Centauri Republic.

CyberVoodoo – Ghastly goings on for OGL CyberNet, in the shape of black magic and zombies. Sort of Dawn of the Dead meets Live and Let Die. Plenty to get your teeth into…sorry.

Last Stand – A tricky new scenario for Mighty Armies, pitting a weak defending force against brutal attackers. See if you can survive.

Second Battle For Quadrant 14 – The second of our two A Call To Arms battles, this one is a brutal engagement between those two traditional enemies, the Narn Regime and the Centauri Republic.

The Kordavan Way – Jason Durall presents a fantastic new Chivalric Code of Honor for the Zingarans in Conan the Roleplaying Game. OK, so some of the time the Zingarans don’t always stick to their own principles, but if you ever dreamt of portraying a noble Zingaran, this will help you on your way.

Gencon 2004 Report: Paranoia – Chaz Estell takes a look at how Paranoia went down at Gencon, complete with pictures of such luminaries as Greg Costikyan and Rich Neale (now those are two names you won’t see together in the same sentence very often).

Shady Deals at Janos 5 – This a Babylon 5 space station with a difference. Rather seedier, and the sort of place where you keep your back to the wall. In other words, perfect material for roleplayers everywhere!

Beyond the Wailing Marsh – This month’s RPG scenario takes us back to the world of the mighty Slaine. Witches, slimy merchants and crazed barbarians conspire to give your party plenty to think about, so gird your loins and don your woad.

Add in the usual mix of Jonny Nexus (and it’s a double length, extra special article from Jonny this month), Inside the Chainmail Bra and Design & Conquer and it’s another killer issue of Signs & Portents, bringing you all that’s cool in the Mongoose world.
