    Another Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review

    It felt authentic to me like "okay, Holga's player gave me 10 pages of backstory and we're gonna slip it in here for a scene to make them happy."

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Trinity Continuum, T2 Judgment Day, BIG BADS, and more

    I wrote one of the Big Bads: King Blrrk, an ooze that gained sentience because it swallowed a magic item and is now becoming a crime boss in one of your campaign cities.

    Another Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review

    Looks like a 40m/70m take for this weekend, far better than expectated returns and #1 at the box office. Depending on who you ask this is either a stunning success (because it exceeded expectations) or a terrible crash and burn (because it's not yet made its money back). I tend to go with the...

    Another Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review

    Ever since Iron Man came out in 2008, the non-Disney studios have been desperate to build their own cinematic universe franchises. Outside of one or two arguable exceptions, these attempts have fallen flat on their faces. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves certainly has a Marvel-style...

    Surreal Conspiracy Horror: A Public Access Review

    As a child of the 80s, I stayed up late to watch a lot of television. It was a different time on the screen back then. Forgotten movies, strange reruns and the oddest of local programming mixed together in a foggy haze where it was sometimes hard to draw a line between what was really on TV what...

    'Flabbergasted!' Brings RPG Hijinks into the Roaring (19)20s!

    I think it also would be a good fit for emulating 80s slobs versus snobs comedies like Caddyshack, Real Genius or Back to School.

    Cyberpunk Red: Black Chrome Is A Modern Classic Gear Book

    It talks about how the economy is still unstable and how night markets have grown to fill the gaps with pricing varying from item to item and night market to night market. But if you're looking for full blown economic analysis like Corporate Shadowfiles you won't find that here.

    Cyberpunk Red: Black Chrome Is A Modern Classic Gear Book

    Most gamers love a good gear book. Whether it's deciding on what to buy with all that gold getting inspiration for an entirely new character, it’s one of my favorite types of expansion books. Cyberpunk games do these exceptionally well. I spent so much time curled up with the Street Samurai...

    Shadowdark RPG: An Interview with Kelsey Dionne

    This is definitely one of those "an overnight success, five years in the making" deals. Her adventure designs were so good they were able to thrive outside of DMG. I also like the idea of a game that harkens back to older editions but without feeling like it has to include legacy mechanics for...

    'Flabbergasted!' Brings RPG Hijinks into the Roaring (19)20s!

    No, this is about the hijinx of being upper/middle class during the good times of the Roaring 20's in a ficticious European city. There's not much in the way of social consciousness or historical context in the text but that's not really the type of game this is.

    'Flabbergasted!' Brings RPG Hijinks into the Roaring (19)20s!

    It's more low stakes than no stakes. Instead of busting up the Silver Twilight Lodge's ritual to stop a summoning, you're busting up their poker night because one of their members was mean to your sibling. For those who don't want a straight up comedy, one of the campaign frames is a cozy...

    'Flabbergasted!' Brings RPG Hijinks into the Roaring (19)20s!

    When most gamers think of the 1920s they think of Call of Cthulhu. While that iconic game has explored plenty of dark corners of the decade, the time was more known for good feelings and little restraint. The Roaring 20’s roared because the world was looking to forget the muddy meatgrinder of...
