RPGs are a broad church and have room for everyone, including the mediterranean and celtic locations in this excellent series. I would love to read similar articles about other locations from around the world and I hope someone with that experience feels inspired to contribute to that - it would...

Great article in a really interesting series of articles. I might just add the closes/wynds for urban back-streets chases, a nearby island only accessible at low tide, a rival city on the other rainswept coast, hidden bars, extinct volcanoes, the Beltane fire festival, fickle weather and its...

Hadn't seen any Critical Role and this was the first time seeing the cartoon. Weekend marathon of both seasons and I got to say I really enjoyed it. Great to see where dice rolls went good or bad. Everyone goes on a character arc from being (mostly) irritating to (mostly) heroic. And the antics...

The UK's Royal Mail is releasing a set of 50th Anniversary D&D stamps. They're different from the US ones, and have new art from Wayne Reynolds. You can get the stamps in a presentation pack, or individual stamps enlarged and framed, along with stamp books and collector's sheets. The Royal...
