The more you look past the art and...

A month ago I had little interest in the Aliens Roleplaying Game. It looked okay and sure did get a lot of hype, but I generally thumb my nose at licensed RPGs (despite owning many); the hit : miss ratio is unfavourable and there have been some pretty bad licensed RPGs over the years. Plus, I...

If you don’t own a prior edition’s version of the Eberron setting (or the Wayfinder’s Guide to Eberron) but the setting sounds interesting, then I heartily recommend that you buy this book. There’s multiple new mechanical options as well as a great campaign setting that can send you on endless...

It’s a safe bet that there will be a pirate storyline in 2019. And you can place money that at some point D&D will do a slavery focused storyline adventure based on that classic adventure. And eventually the gith vs mind flayer conflict will take center stage. These are all pretty easy guesses...

After weeks of shipping delays, I finally got my two boxes of Spell Effects minis by WizKids. Has anyone else picked these up? I’m loving the idea. I’ve been thinking about several of these minis for years, as knowing where a Bigby’s hand is. Or the dancing lights. And the various weapons...

Normally I use the ENWorld reviews when I evaluate and rate a product. This doesn't seem as appropriate when I'm reviewing four books at once, basically judging the entire product line. As is the case with the Dungeons & Dragons/ Endless Quest books. I recently read through all four (more or...
