Can you outshoot the Devil? Outrun his hounds?

Something tells me he may be back
The Twisting Stair
An old school role-playing game periodical with a focus on adventure design
Stephen Colbert: “What would you do, when coming up with your character you roll six rolls of three six-sided dice to come up with your character”
Joe Magliano: “There’s a new way now where you roll 4d6 and you take away the lowest.”
Stephen Colbert: “Really? That’s for children!”

Knightriders (1981) is actually my favorite Romero. I wrote a bit about it: The Once and Future Romero

I stumbled across Knightriders on HBO by accident sometime in the early 80s and absolutely loved it. I was talking with my wife about it not too long ago because of "The Kingdom" on The Walking Dead - how it was funny that a show that was already based on a rip-off of one George Romero movie doubled down by adding in another one
