Here at EN World, I'm looking at all-ages tabletop role-playing games, board games, and card games. Do they engage the players at the kids' gaming table? Would they cut it at the adults' table?

Shipwrights of the North Sea was the first game in the North Sea Trilogy by New Zealand designer Shem Phillips and his company Garphill Games. The second game in the series, Raiders of the North Sea, was nominated for the Kennerspiel des Jahres (the German ‘Enthusiast Game of the Year’ which is chosen at the same time as the coveted Spiel des Jahres) in 2017. Now Garphill Games, in partnership with Dice Up Games, are returning to the Sagas with The North Sea Epilogues – A Roleplaying Game.

Over the weekend, Paizo posted two new Pathfinder 2nd Edition blogs. The first looks at backgrounds, with three examples (Blacksmith, Street Urchin, Pathfinder Hopeful); and the second looks at monsters and the way they are built in the new edition of the game.

Centaurs and Minotaurs are the topics of this month's Unearthed Arcana!Centaurs gallop into Unearthed Arcana this month—a playtest option for when you choose your character’s race.

A many of you know, I am only back in town for a day from my leave of absence, so I'm doing a big flurry of catch-up work. I found the below waiting for me when I got home today.
