Cornerhouse: Staff Recommendation/ It’s a Wonderful Life


"Everyone knows the film right? The black and white, Christmassy one from the TV, were Jimmy Stewart attempts suicide but an angel shows him what life would be like if he was never born.
So if we have all seen it and know how it ends what is the point of braving the cold rain of a Manchester winter to watch it again at the cinema? Well, spare me a little festive goodwill and a few minutes between your online present shopping and I’ll explain why this film is for life and not just for Christmas."

Pyramid - Riders of the Storm



"Luke's landspeeder slid to a halt along the hot Tatooine desert. He stood in the driver's seat and peered across the seemingly endless dunes. He did not need the electrobinoculars to see the giant sandwhirl he was fleeing, but he was not looking in that direction. As he adjusted the range finder, and scanned the desert in front of him, he spotted the dark silhouettes of riders and their mammothian mounts -- Tusken Raiders. The Sand People were waiting for him just over the next dune, letting the storm force him into their trap."

Pyramid - Adventure Pizza: Joy Riders


""Joy Riders" is a cameo adventure suitable for use in any fantasy roleplaying game. It can be easily inserted in to any AD&D, Palladium Fantasy, Earthdawn, or GURPS Fantasy campaign and, with a little tweaking in the style and descriptive elements of the adventure, would also be suitable for a Deadlands or Legends of the Five Rings campaign. The only requirements for running this adventure are that horseback should be the primary mode of transport, and that the adventurers are about to visit a large city."
