Monsters of the City: Sins and Virtues by Cawood Publishing takes a different approach to monster manuals for 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. Most creature compendiums just list the monsters alphabetically or by category. MotCSaV organizes its content very differently. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Charles...

If you've been eyeing the various Beadle & Grimm's luxury editions of D&D 5E adventures and wondering if they're worth it—I have bad news for your budget. B&G's Silver Edition of Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden definitely adds to and enhances the latest D&D adventure. What's in the Box...

Now that Tasha's Cauldron of Everything has been out a bit, we wanted to take a look at the overall reactions to D&D's latest compilation of rule options, subclasses, DM advice, etc. So let's see how other sites rank the new book in comparison to our review. Please note that when a site did...

If time has gotten away from you, 2020's delivery issues are going to make your holiday gift buying more difficult. This list can help! A lot of the options on this list can be purchased digitally to bypass pandemic-related shipping delays. The below list includes both digital and physical gift...

The latest official Dungeons & Dragons' supplement is the Dungeon Master's Screen Wilderness Kit, arriving slightly after Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, but clearly timed to work with it. However, this is a general wilderness adventure supplement, not one specifically for Icewind Dale or...

Tasha's Cauldron of Everything is the latest optional rule book for 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons but this “optional” book is very likely to become a must-have for most DMs and players. In fact, it's possible that it's the single more useful 5E supplement so far, but I'm getting ahead of...

Upon hearing that an official Dungeons & Dragons cookbook, Heroes' Feast, was coming out, my first thought was that they'd take some normal recipes, slap a few cute D&D-themed names on them, and that would be it. After all, a lot of themed cookbooks have been exactly that. I'm happy to say that...

Curse of Strahd Revamped (CoSR) follows in the footsteps of last year's revised reissue, when Wizard of the Coast released Tyranny of Dragons, the combined version of the first two 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons hardcover adventures, Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat. However, CoSR...

To accompany Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, Wizards of the Coast released the Icewind Dale: Rise of the Frostmaiden Dice & Miscellany set. Much like the set released for Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus, it contains dice, two dice trays that form a carry box, a folded map, and...

Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden is the latest official Dungeons & Dragons adventure, and it's one that will challenge both DMs and players. For the right group, it's a good story with fresh ideas and intriguing consequences. Determining if it’s a good fit for you and your players is...

While set in 1920s Chinatown, in many ways Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall is a game for our current time. Players manage a family-run restaurant in the daytime while also having to fend off Jiangshi (Chinese hybrids of zombies and vampires) at night, causing stress to piles up and possibly...

The latest Magic the Gathering card set converted for 5th Edition Dungeons of Dragons is Mythic Odysseys of Theros. I was expecting it to be fresh yet familiar like the Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica book since original D&D borrowed monsters and gods from Greek mythology, which was also the...
