It has shaken D&D campaigns to the point of splitting the table in half. It has both blessed dubious rogues with Scimitars of Speed and cursed saintly artificers with -2 to stats. The mere mention of it churns a player’s guts in ways that Domino’s Pizza can only dream. I am, of course, talking about…

Let’s not beat around the bush. I was as fond of Hero Forge’s facial customization update in August as I would be a centipede infestation. The learning curve was steep enough to throw Spider-Man off balance. The results often made the expressions of the Sims look subtle. And the whole thing just gave me another…

Happy November, fellow clerics or otherwise! Last month, I wrote an article about the origins of Ravenloft and its creators, who also made another little campaign setting called Dragonlance. I also alluded that the drama behind that little legend had enough juiciness to put even the rarest of steaks to shame… So, naturally, we won’t…

Beautiful art. Unique vibe. Oh, and the fact that it cleared its goal within one minute with over 1.8 million dollars….

So, in my RPG history piece about Ravenloft that you should totally check out, I made a joke about pumpkin spice dice. While referring to the list of results on Etsy, apparently Studio Woe had already taken this idea to heart. And by that, I mean they made dice that literally smell. Incidentally, this isn’t…

At long, long last, October is upon us, dear reader! The season of raking tree body parts off the lawn, seasonal flavors with more of a cult following than they deserve, and- of course- horror! And, of course, RPG players aren’t one to miss out of the terrifying fun, having spooky session options as long…

Humble Bundle is no stranger to this site, having previously offered Warhammer novels, RPG guides, and enough D&D goodness to fill an actual dungeon. So, it should come to the surprise of nobody that they would tackle miniature/3-D printed swag. Which they did today. With enough gusto to justify taking a small loan to buy…

Reddit is no stranger to D&D-related despair. You’ve got whole subreddits dedicated to pervs and power players, and literally dozens of people have made Youtube careers reading horror stories. But sometimes people switch it up a bit. People like user ScarytheFairy, who posed a simple question: what campaign premise is an immediate turn-off for you?…
