EN World Review – Cosmic Patrol by Catalyst Games Lab
Here we are, and it’s Wednesday once again Dear Readers, and I have just posted a new review over on EN World News! I hope that this week finds you well, and for those of you, like me, in the path of Winter Storm Nemo, I hope you’ve made all your preparations for what is likely to be a nasty Nor’easter blizzard!
And for those of you who aren’t in the path of the storm, well I hope you enjoy your nice weather, and can get in some great gaming this weekend. Thankfully, my DCC game scheduled for Saturday is only a few blocks from my place, so I’m fairly sure we can all gather for the second exciting session despite the snowfall.
This week, I’m reviewing a role-playing game by Catalyst Game Labs called Cosmic Patrol. It’s set in the distant future of old school, Golden Age science-fiction, so think more Lost in Space than Star Trek here – or better yet, perhaps the movie Forbidden Planet represents it best!

Review of Cosmic Patrol by Catalyst Games Lab
Overall, I really liked the game, but then I’m an avid reader of Golden Age scifi short stories, and have something like nine anthologies lurking on my bookshelves for when I want a quick enjoyable read. It’s an indie-style game and very plot and narrative driven, but has a simple, solidly designed system that allows for concentration on role-playing, which is a definite plus for many gamers. Take a look, and see what you think – maybe your gaming group might like to grab their bubble-helmets and rayguns, and head to the stars for a while!
So until next blog… I wish you Happy Gaming!
