I really don't understand why I don't see more people talking about Wolves of God. First of all, it's a Sine Nomine joint, and Kevin Crawford's OSR sandbox systems are universally beloved. Second, it's great!

| Look out, it's wol--actually, it's just Gary and Paul |
So I'm going to do the world and Mr. Crawford a great service, and bestow upon all of you my review of Wolves of God. Here it comes...
I hope you won't mind if I cut right to the chase: this article is going to be a review of two products. Here is product the first:

| Yeah, it's Warlock! |
If you haunt the front page of DriveThruRPG like I (unfortunately) do, then the Warlock! RPG cannot have escaped your attention during the last year or so. In case you didn't know, it's awesome. I'll rhapsodize below.
Here's the other one:

| Gradient Descent for cool-kid Mothership |
This one is Gradient Descent, an adventure/setting for the Mothership RPG (which I reviewed earlier along with its first adventure, so check that out). Although it's another hot and sexy RPG that has captured eyeballs and zeitgeist, the situation is a bit different because it's not actually out yet.
Yes, yours truly is an RPG insider. Well, actually, I just backed the Kickstarter and thus got my hands on the early release of the PDF. It's been bouncing around my hard drive for a couple weeks and I just got around to reading it. And you know what? It's a banger, in the parlance of the day.
So if you're just looking for information about what to buy, you can stop there and put there both on your list, especially if you're into old-school British fantasy role-playing (i.e. Warlock!) or space-faring sci-fi horror (i.e. Gradient Descent). They both get my rousing approval, so if that's means anything to you, consider picking them up if you're a tabletop RPG GM.
But if you need to hear more to determine if these are right for you, or you just like to read this sort of thing, then follow beyond the fold.
