Welcome to Your NeverEnding Story
When Jamie Van Doren, Founder and CEO of NeverEnding, approached me about a review of their new RPG platform, I jumped at the chance to learn more. A program that lets you create your own art, characters, and animate them? Yes please!

Pepper Patties from Outer Space
When it came to adding a meat-substitute to the menu in the form of "Surrogate Steaks," Heroes' Feast decided the only way it could be justified in a fantasy setting is for it to come from outer space.

Stout and Hairy?
The appearance of halflings in Dungeons & Dragons have come a long way since their hobbit roots from Lord of the Rings. If the latest stew from Heroes' Feast is any indication, they didn't stray too far.
Dungeons & Dragons  Reviews 
Using Meals to Teach Geography
My daughter so far has only been a fan of a few of the recipes in Heroes' Feast, so we thought we'd create one of her favorites: noodles, from Kara-Tur to be precise.
Dungeons & Dragons  Reviews 
What Do Elves Eat, Anyway?
It's no accident that we've skipped most of the "meals" associated with elves in Heroes' Feast, but we finally came around to make one: bacon and asparagus. The bacon surprised us because we don't associate meat with elves.

Trading Shepherds for Miners
We're back with another traditional recipe from Heroes' Feast attributed to dwarves: Shepherd's Pie.

Would You Like Fries With That?
We recently made "tavern steaks" from the Heroes' Feast cookbook, an excuse to place hamburgers in a fantasy setting. But that's not the only anachronism that creeps into our campaigns.

RPG Evolution: D&D as Therapy for Kids
When Katie Lear—children’s counselor, play therapist, and drama therapist in North Carolina—realized how beneficial Dungeons & Dragons was for her own mental health, she decided to use it to help kids too. I caught up with Katie and her colleague and actor Zachery Byrd on how they use D&D in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online.

Can a Black Pudding Cast Haste?
We decided to make a pudding dessert from Heroes' Feast and discovered that, while it didn't pack a pseudopod punch, it had another secret weapon: espresso powder.

What Flavor Is Your Owlbear?
We recently made pot roast from Heroes' Feast, but when applying the same recipe to a fantasy world it begs the question: does it have to come from a cow?
Dungeons & Dragons  Reviews 
April Showers Bring Spring Meatballs
It's finally Spring, a time for flowers, showers, and the dwarven meal, Delzoun "Tide-Me-Overs" from Heroes' Feast.
Dungeons & Dragons  Reviews 
Hunting Ham for the Holidays
With the Spring holidays upon us, we decided to make an Easter dish that also happens to be a halfling meal from Heroes’ Feast: honeyed ham with pineapple gravy.

RPG Evolution: Meet the Bodhana Group
When I interviewed Fenway Jones of Jasper's Game Day, another group was mentioned that is doing great work to bring role-playing games to the community: The Bodhana Group. I caught up with Jack Berkenstock Jr., MHS - Co-Founder and Executive Director, to learn more.
