Lords of Waterdeep Boardgame - Merric's Review
Great review! I was just looking at reviews on BGG, was a bit disappointed at what was there, and gave up to come here for other stuff. Surprise, exactly what I was looking for! (Are you going to post it at BGG?) I was very worried that Intrigue cards would cause too much disruption: this hasn't eventuated. It's actually a really well-judged mechanic that adds a lot to the game. This is the...
Pathfinder Review: Distant Worlds
John Carter was a hell of a romp. 
Review of Players Option: Heroes of the Elemental Chaos
I think the book would have jumped a whole point in my estimation if they'd just given the elementalist appropriate 'bending' powers, a la Avatar: The Last Airbender. Make them cantrips or something, but let earth sorcerers extrude rocks from the ground, water sorcerers create shields of water, and so on. Flavor is important, and while a lot of the recent "Heroes of" books had great flavor...
Review of Adventure-a-Week.com & Crypt of the Sun Lord (free module!)
I'm exclusively a 4ther and even I'm tempted to subscribe. This site is gorgeous, and the production value alone is wonderful. Had this been 4e, I'd have subscribed in a heartbeat. I'm really routing for these guys!
Mike Mearls: A Paladin, Ranger, and Wizard With Arcane Tradition Walk Into A Tavern
After Gen Con and the release of the second Open Playtest packet, I had a third opportunity since December to ask Mike Mearls, Lead Designer of D&D Next some more questions. I want to thank him for taking the time to answer with such detail, and I want to thank Wizards of the Coast for being so gracious as to extend me the opportunity again. Thanks also to the readers of my D&D coverage for...
Pathfinder Review: Pirates of the Inner Sea
Once again, thank you for the awesome and insightful reviews, Steel. They do not go unappreciated.
Pre-Release Review of Heroes of the Elemental Chaos by Wizards of the Coast
Great review but I would offer one nitpick. Orcs were originally chaotic evil. They only became LE with the AD&D Monster Manual but they were chaotic evil before that. Emphasising the CHAOTIC side of their alignment is actually a nod to us old timers....
Pre-Release Review of Story Forge by Kelp Entertainment
Thank you for bringing this to our (collective) attention! I'll be backing this--it's a terrific concept.
Pathfinder Review: Inner Sea Magic
Definitely a must have! Great book! One small correction. The Campaign Setting line is monthly, not bi-monthly.
Review of They Shall Be Paid In Coin of the Realm by Taurus Twelve
"... the local press showed up... I was away... one of the freshmen... providing the reporter with her version... a number of painful gaffs... the “essence of role-playing” was “finding monsters, killing them, and taking their gold.”" I am a news photographer and I can tell you that it is very, very important to designate someone to handle PR and have them do it no matter what.
GameMastery Review: Pirate Ship Flip-Mat and Map Pack: Mines
I have been buying both Dungeon Tiles and Map Packs at about the same rate. They are quality product for those of us who suck at drawing immersive battle maps. The flip mats are decent for the price, but I always preferred Tact-Tiles® myself. As they break down and lay flat easier than a Flip Mat does (you have to play with the fold lines a bit on Flip Mats). Sadly, the guy who made...
Review of The Breaking of Forstor Nagar by Rite Publishing
As someone who pretty much only buys in print, I'd include that this is available in print at: The Breaking of Forstor Nagar
Review of Kobold Quarterly Issue #20 (Winter 2012) by Open Design
Thanks for this review! I think it is fair to say that the 4E submissions have been few and far between lately; many of our regular 4E writers have moved on to other things. As always, we can only print what we have. On the bright side, though, both the qualilty and quantity of Pathfinder and Dragon AGE system articles submitted has been growing. Maybe we should ask Rich Baker or Steve...
Review: Pathfinder Minis: Heroes and Monsters
The local FLGS here (Victoria BC) is selling the large single-mini cartons (Ogre, Ettin, etc.) at $11.99 each...or was, as of last weekend. I forget what the small ones were priced at. The $6 you quote for a large one would still be high, but not completely out of line like this. Lanefan
Review of The Secret Fire by George Strayton
This quote is amusing: A skilled MC and a table of dedicated players can spend entire sessions of TSF without rolling a single die, yet explore dark, dangerous, and exotic lands, as well as underground caverns and dungeon complexes that offer both excitement and tension. Yes, that game is called Make-Believe I think. If I'm going over a friend's house to play Make-Believe, kind takes the...
Pathfinder Review: Bestiary 3
There better be a Bestiary 4. No monster line is ever complete, any TTRPG company should know that! They have more Divs, Asura, Celestials, Behemoths, Kami, Oni, and many other creatures to add more of that they've gone and created.
