Review of The Heart of Fire by Darklight Interactive
Sometimes it’s just good clean fun to pull out a cliché and run with it. Perhaps one could say that a better word here might be “trope”, but regardless of the term, we DMs have all been done it at one time or another. We have characters battle gigantic fire demons in orc-infested dwarven mines, force them to fend off giant squids attacking their sailing ships in the middle of a monsoon, and...
Review of Rusty Axe Dungeon Tiles (Core Set)
Of all the accessories that can enhance the role-playing game experience, dungeon tiles seem to have come the farthest from their early offerings. While many gamers were content to use the ubiquitous and erasable “battle mat” for dungeon delves, others wanted something a bit more fun and required less drawing. As many older gamers might recall, the early versions of “dungeon tiles” were...
Gamehackery: Bringing Tech to the Analog Playtest
One of the players in my home game has physical limitations that make it difficult for him to play in that old school, pen-and-paper way. Our game is 4e, and the wealth of computer and iPad-based tools that are available have made it possible for him to play -- everything from the DDI tools like the Compendium and the Character Builder, and tools that take advantage of the files the character...

Gamehackery: Eff You, Imagination!
You spent hours making it though... Wouldn't you be better served playing D&D with something like the Neverwinter Nights construction toolset? You could build a 3d environment for that kind of effort.

Review of New Paths: The Expanded Shaman by Kobold Press
One of the great things about role-playing games is how they offer players the opportunity to be something greater, or perhaps stranger, than their normal lives allow. Whether gamers draw the inspiration for their characters from fantasy novels, Sci Fi movies, or from classical literature, RPG players are able to portray a wide range of amazing personas, limited only by the rules of game they...
Fate Core System
Fate Core System: Characters live at the core of Fate! Fate Core is the latest edition of Evil Hat Productions’ popular Fate roleplaying game system. Fate started as a “house rules” project for the Fudge system during a car ride Rob Donoghue and Fred Hicks had back in 2001. After seeing some success with it in their home games, they created a free, downloadable version for anyone who cared to grab it. They figured a few dozen people would have a look. Instead, hundreds did, and it fast became one of the most popular variants of Fudge out there, spawning its own thousands-strong discussion list and eventually helping to launch Evil Hat as a commercial game company.
