Hi and welcome to the roleplaying section of my site. Here are links to some of the best RPG pages on the internet and reviews of some of the more recent games and supplements that have come out in the past few months.

Also hints and tips for making your games more fun, easier on games masters, and spicing things up are to be found here.

A long time ago, a very good friend of mine came home to England following a six month holiday in America. I was very pleased to see him again, and we soon were in the process of catching up on the latest gossip and he eagerly told me of life in the States. It was while he was informing me of his vacation, that Mike told me about a game he had been playing almost every night for the past four months, with his cousin. He told me how they spent their time playing this game until late in the morning and how great it was. I listened to him with an open mind and soon found myself intrigued by Mike’s conversation and found myself wishing that I could play this wondrous game.

Well as it turned out, Mike had brought a couple of copies of the game home with him and very soon{that night in fact} I was immersed in the exciting world of ‘Dungeons and Dragons’. Well in a nut shell that’s how I got started in the role-playing hobby, way back in 1978. It took a little while for the hobby to break here in the UK, but soon we found like minded people who where interested in joining us for a regular games sessions and we formed our first club. Now I am almost thirty four years old, married, and have three lovely children of my own. In the past twenty years or so I have seen a lot of games come and go and company’s rise from obscurity and fall back on the wayside and disappear without a trace. Gaming is one of my real passions in life, and I love the look on the face of a party of gamers when I pull something completely out of the blue and surprise them. I feel that I am very lucky in the fact that my imagination is vivid and that I can normally make up adventures on the spot and they turn out well and everyone gets enjoyment from them.

And that is how I started off in the roleplaying hobby, it’s a question I get asked a lot so I thought I would write it down here as a sort of intro. I am also a very keen wargamer (check out my wargames/tabletop section.) and when I can I like to combine the two together.

Last Unicorn have acquired one of the most sort after licences of all time: Star Trek! Over the next few years you can expect to see roleplaying games based on Star Trek The Next Generation, Deep Space 9 and Voyager as well as the original series. Also Last Unicorn plan to release a huge range of support for the Trek line, including miniatures, supplements for the game and even a Live Roleplaying version of the system, which is bound to go down a storm at Trek Conventions. Here at Gamers Web we plan to bring you as much information on this excellent line as possible and to kick things off here is the very first offing and boy from first impressions are we in for some fun!
