Greetings, readers! All five of you who keep up with my history romps might be wondering– why are you writing another RPG History thing so soon? Don’t you do this, like, once a month, assuming that you can manage even that? Well, it’s because November isn’t just any month; it’s a double-barreled shotgun of holiday-ness….

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…

Most Magic: the Gathering commanders lend themselves to certain playstyles. Whether they help bring out big creatures, buff up your tokens, or let you poke at your enemies’ health pools, commanders…

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…

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…

Paco Ŝako, AKA “Peace Chess”, has been flying under the radar since 2017, but it’s about time we gave this Chess-based game a closer look. Designer Felix Albers has created a game of Chess that eliminates capturing opponent’s pieces. Instead of a war, players are in a dance, and the first to win the heart…

As I’ve said before, all its takes is a zany title to get me to buy an adventure. Same with interesting gimmicks. Also, personality. And if it could be a remix of a beloved module with a severely interesting backstory, that would be great. Kicking eighties jams are also appreciated. Anyway, you saw the picture…

I thought it would be fun to look back on some of the classic board games that have survived the test of time, games that are either beloved or universally despised. This game is often placed in both categories, even by the same people. Anyone growing up in the 70s or 80s is sure to…

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….
