On behalf of all the beleaguered DMs reading this thing, I want to confirm the rumors. Yes, it can, in fact, be insanely hard to plan out a campaign. Bad enough you have to come up with a premise your table doesn’t hate, or worry if your table is toxic to give Chernobyl a run…

A while back, I covered a Kickstarter campaign for a 5e-compatible folk horror romp called Crooked Moon. Out of all the campaigns I have covered for this site, this one showed the most promise. 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.

(Or, you know, delete your existence from the table entirely.) But with the flood of people promising their own campaign…

Between Bloodrayne and Hellsing, vampires fighting nazis is that weird combination that goes together like peanut butter and cheese. (Don’t judge me.)

However, he’s far from a stranger to fantasy, considering that he gave us 1978’s Lord of the Rings and 1977’s Wizards. (Fun fact: Wizards featured Mark Hamill…

Maybe it’s the poofy pants or crazy hats. Or the flying machines with the aerodynamics of lawn furniture. Or maybe the disturbing religious imagery that likely spiced up many a Sunday school. Either way, the Renaissance has proven time and time again to appeal to gamers. And now TTRPG players are finally getting a dose…

A while back, I covered a Kickstarter for a Dungeon and Dragons zine for a rogue subclass- Death Dealing. Using a deck of cards, your Gambit-esque rogue can generate random effects in battle, both good and bad. Well, Steve Conley has just started releasing PDFs for backers. So, as a service to my fellow rogues,…
