"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." In HS, we finished almost all campaigns. In Uni, that number...

Part of it depends on the definition of a campaign. When I was in college and the game was D&D, AD&D or Traveller, our usual...

I think it's incredibly easy to write a paragraph or a page about how "[Insert world here] is about to face its gravest threat yet, in...

In the defense of VtM. As a player, you are not always in control, part of the game is constant fight with the Beast within. And that...

Last time i checked contested/opposed roles are still a thing. Problem with D&D in particular is lack of "social" combat. While 90% of...

Another game that "does it good" is Ten Candles. Now, i admit, it's a bit gimmicky. But it does what it says on the tin. There is only...
