I'm absolutely here for the kind of retrospective/historic collections of D&D and RPGs in general. This book is def a must buy for me. But more than that, boy watching that video with Jason's clear enthusiasm - it's really infectious. As a Twin Cities gamer, this feels like a perfect time to dig...

Apologies for the long post - I wanted to share my own journey of painting! My own fight against the Great Gray Tide really started when I purchased a resin printer back in 2021. I've spent ... uuhhh ... too much money on WizKids prepainted miniatures over the past 20+ years mainly because I...

More than a decade ago now (gulp!) I ran a Shadowrun campaign using Metallica song titles for the runs, all homebrewed. In general for any game, the title is one of the first things I come up when planning a session or designing a scenario, either professionally or personally - whether the...

I love adventure titles! The best ones are evocative and engaging right from the start. I also agree that the 5E adventure titles have been ... somewhat lackluster. They have a feel of "design by committee" which makes them safe and rather boring. But not all of them! Here's some of my off the...

Dang. The downside of playing and running games at a cool con like Gamehole Con - you miss out on the cool panels!

I picked up this Manual of the Planes this morning from the DMsGuild, and my first impression - incredible work! As someone with their own treatise on the planes up for sale (cough cough Codex of the Infinite Planes) I'm always keen on expanding my knowledge of the planes and diving into other...

Planescape is out in the wild, and the books in the set are beautiful - but they only cover Sigil and the Outlands. There's so much more - infinitely more, you might say. Why not hop through one of those portals in Sigil to an adventure across the planes? For gazetteer information, hazards...

I dig the monsters in the Planescape release. They're pretty well suited for adventures in and around Sigil and the Oustlands. That being said (plug plug), if you're looking for MOAR MONSTARS to populate your infinite planes, check out Monsters of the Infinite Planes! I'm pretty happy there's...

I caught Dial of Destiny a few days ago, and it was ... fine. It was a fine movie. Nothing great, but yeah about as good as Temple of Doom (and still more cohesive than Crystal Skull). My biggest complaint is actually the missed opportunities to get down and dirty with the idea of grief...

As I developed the content for my Codex of the Infinite Planes articles (collected here in a cool hardcover at the DMsGuild!), Sigil was one of the no-no areas - I actually had to pull down the original Codex PDF because I had two references to Sigil in the text! I'm selfishly glad they are...

Might I recommend my Codex of the Infinite Planes book? Like you, I found the Planescape content to be focused on a handful of planes. While Sigil isn't available on the DMsGuild, the general planar content is, so I took that and built out codex entries for each of the 16 Outer Planes, the 4...
