I bought my DMG, my first issue of DRAGON, and my first 8-sided die (a huge blue crystal one) at JCPenney's, and that's also where I picked up a copy of the green cover T1 Hommlet module. I distinctly remember seeing other games there, too, such as Gamma World. Then, one day, they stopped...

Out now from Total Party Kill Games: UNCOVER THE SECRETS OF STEEL! This book is an in-depth look at the fighter class. The Fighter Folio is your 80+ page guide to the class, dissecting its abilities and taking an expanded look at new fighter-specific options. New Fighter Backgrounds such as...

One thing I've found with RPGs is that you have to play them to appreciate the good (and the not so good) qualities; a read-through of the rules isn't sufficient. You actually have to see the rule elements in play and experience them. As much as I enjoy seeing previews, I'm actively trying to...

The Idolator—Hybrid Class option from TPK Games A new hybrid class option for the Pathfinder RPG, from TPK Games. Worship takes many forms. For some who live by faith, a temple, shrine, or other religious symbol may prove unsatisfactory for expressing their devotion. Instead, such worshipers...

Paizo completely sold out of STARFINDER core rulebooks at GenCon... and the convention just started today.

Great review for what looks to be an awesome game!

The Kickstarter for The Fighter Folio and 5e Condition Cards by Total Party Kill Games is entering its last few days. Fight for glory... fight for honor... but know HOW to fight! Total Party Kill Games presents The Fighter Folio, a player and GM sourcebook compatible with the fifth edition...

Absolutely agree. These updates have been highly useful in helping me stay up with all the games coming out these days. Otherwise, there's just so much going on, and not enough time to keep track of it all. It reminds me of one of the best parts about DRAGON magazine, seeing the various ads and...

I second that!

Recovery Dice Options for 5E D&D Within 5E Dungeons & Dragons (TM), Recovery Dice—otherwise known as Hit Dice—allow a character to recover hit points without the need for healing potions or cure wounds spells. This serves to extend the adventuring day by delaying the party’s need to return to...

The Kickstarter is now live for The Fighter Folio and 5e Condition Cards by Total Party Kill Games. Fight for glory... fight for honor... but know HOW to fight! Total Party Kill Games presents The Fighter Folio, a player and GM sourcebook compatible with the fifth edition (5E) of the Dungeons...

Paizo is awesome in that they offer inexpensive PDF versions of their Core Rulebook. This allows you to take a look at what is inside before necessarily investing in the physical copy.

Count me in as looking forward to the Mac release as well. I very much want to get HeroLab for Pathfinder. Although my iMac is partitioned to boot either Mac OS or Windows 7, I'm going to wait until the Mac version comes out. Hopefully soon!

I only recently started picking up Pathfinder books, and this one was one of my first purchases. (Thus, I don't have the first two volumes of this particular series.) My initial reaction was tremendously positive; after reading more in-depth into the book, it stands as one of my favorite. I...

I have a decent collection of miniatures, but a set of stand-up monster counters like this holds a great deal of utility. I can see this being especially helpful for games on the go or at convention games. I especially like these being stand-ups, rather than counters. My group's gaming tables...

Oh, I agree -- if something is an assumed element within the setting, the books based on that setting should not ignore that element. Raise Dead et al. is a good example of this (and one that makes novels of game settings somewhat problematic).

Novels are novels, games are games...Each seeks to entertain in a different way, and thus makes use of different techniques. When an author forces characters and situations into their game mechanic equivalents, it leads to poor fiction at best. When reading a book, you should not be able to...
