Remember history or be forever doomed to repeat it. Maybe. Well, “Forgotten History” is the theme for this month’s MAGS, which means… the focus is actually on “a little-known figure from history” – doesn’t have to be real either.
Science fiction technology, time travel, and magical elements are not forbidden, but the setting itself should be based in reality.
That only covers MAGS May, however, so what about games that came to be during MAGS April? Well, we have no less than FIVE SIX entries, which is darn groovy! Oh, and more might jump in as the deadline has been extended to May 2. The one for MAGS April, that is. MAGS May will end on the 31st (maybe). Anyway, as always, links to each game follow (and will be updated, should the need arise)…
