Fight War Pigs: Join the Viking Death Squad
From the mind that brought you the Index Card RPG comes a chance to join the Viking Death Squad. If you’ve ever listened to War Pigs by Black Sabbath and wanted a chance to strike back against dark forces here’s your chance. This RPG is a blood soaked tour de force. The world is a wrecked hellhole, mankind is being slaughtered, and the only slim chance we have is the Viking Death Squad.

Beadle & Grimm’s Complete Character Chronicles
Hello my lovelies and welcome to a special product review! We’ve been fortunate enough to be sent copies of Beadle & Grimm’s Complete Character Chronicles for Pathfinder 2E – specifically, the Fighter and the Wizard versions. Note: both of these products are largely aiming to do similar things, so unless the review specifies either Fighter (for Complete Fighter Chronicle) or Wizard (for...

Master The Index Card RPG In This Collected Edition
When thinking about using a generic RPG system at my table, I think that simpler is better. Rules sets are easier to adapt to specific genres when there is room to add things. It’s stronger to add in ideas rather than pull things out. Remove mechanics, and it can be a challenge to see how it damages parts of the rules before it’s too late. I’ve seen Index Card RPG bandied about as an excellent...

Go Down The Hobbit Hole Of The One Ring Starter Set
Dungeons & Dragons has offered players a chance to get their medieval fantasy stories on for years but there’s always been a desire to play in Middle-Earth and let folks show off how much lore they’ve absorbed from Tolkien. There have been several official RPGs over the years with The One Ring performing well in the eyes of many fans of the films and the books. Free League Publishing acquired...

Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse: An In-Depth Review
Every new D&D book comes with its own share of hype and debate. In the case of The D&D Rules Expansion Gift Set, it has also come with a lot of speculation.

Those Who Wanderhome Are Not Lost
Stories are rooted in conflict. The main character wants something but can’t get it. They must overcome those obstacles to resolve the story. Role-playing games are no different, but more often than not, those conflicts are resolved through combat. Yes, everyone has examples of times when their group went sessions without rolling initiative, but the rules are still included with most RPGs...

The Black Hack Boxed Set Offers (Almost) Everything You Need For An Excellent Hexcrawl
The lure of the boxed set is fairly clear. Everything you need to play the game all in one tidy package. This idea has evolved over the decades but I would be lying if I didn’t still enjoy cracking open a box and exploring everything inside. The Black Hack had a moment in the sun a couple years ago as a game that combined old school hexcrawling and modern game elements. Peter Regan, the...

Mutants In The Now Brings A Fresh Look At Other Strangeness
Licensed RPGs are the shooting stars of tabletop roleplaying games. They burn brightly, hopefully beautifully and then are lost to history once the license ends. Many live on in the library shelves of those who love them. Some are sold for ridiculous amounts on the internet. A few are reborn as retroclones with the mechanics intact and the potentially litigious IP stripped away. Such is the...

Pathfinder Lost Omens: Grand Bazaar & Monsters of Myth Review
Hello my lovelies and welcome to another PAIZO PRODUCT REVIEW! This edition is somewhat-rare double-header: we’re taking a look at Pathfinder Lost Omens: Grand Bazaar and Pathfinder Lost Omens: Monsters of Myth. Both of these tomes were a little too one-note to fill up a full review, but by gum do they punch above their page count when it comes to tasty new content, and I am pleased that I can...

Review of Twilight: 2000: You’re on Your Own, Good Luck
Imagine surviving another battle in war only to find yourself cut off from command. No medevac, no calling in incoming fire, no reinforcements, no going home. Twilight: 2000 takes the Year Zero system and couples it with brutal combat that leaves it mark on everyone involved who survives. A campaign kicks off with a lost battle and the last communication from headquarters, “Good luck. You’re...

New Playsets Aim To Make Your Next Game Night A Fiasco
Fiasco is one of my go-to choices when a friend that’s never played a role playing game asks me about trying one. It’s a simple, clear setup with easy mechanics that plays in two hours or less. It also tends to be gutbustingly funny given the dark humor threaded throughout the playsets available for the game. Bully Pulpit Games sent me some review copies of their latest decks for Fiasco Second...

I Wonder Wonder Wonder Who, Who Wrote The Book of Nod Review
In 1993, The Book of Nod appeared on gaming store shelves around the world. It came just as Vampire: The Masquerade’s hardcover Second Edition was truly exploding into popularity. It shed light on the World of Darkness in an unusual way; as an in-game document. The book sold in stores was the same one that could be discovered by vampire characters in the game. There had been flirtations with...
