So, some of you might have heard about this little Kickstarter I am involved in? Heh, yeah, things are a bit insane for me right now, but fear not! The Picks of the Week march on, and I've got some good ones for you. Have some troubles figuring out a good backstory for your favorite character...

This Kickstarter is run strictly by Pinnacle Entertainment. And it starts in one hour, friends.

This week's Picks feature a lot of "useful stuff for running games," including modern gear for Dark Conspiracy, random magical items for Savage Worlds, and all you could want to know about Seattle in the Shadowrun universe. Then there's the fire-oriented ninja clans of Ninja Crusade and all the...

So much to do, so little time, but I do love this business! This week, we get a little dark and demonic; we go to tourney; we travel the whole of Middle Earth; and we make some orcs! There's a trip back in time for a lot of gamers, but we also see a huge step forward in terms of technology and...

While I am no longer with DriveThruRPG, I remain close to that team (and my Belovedest, Carinn Seabolt, does work in their customer service department). I try to maintain transparency about this, but you may have missed one of my notes regarding it. Sean's Pick of the Day began as part of my...

Sorry for the delay getting this up today, folks. I am still recovering from something nasty that took me down hard on Tuesday and Wednesday (which, by the way, is why there is no Wednesday Pick for this week, as well). On top of all that, a certain something is coming to fruition, which as you...

Kind of wandering across the RPG timeline with this week's Picks, since we've got the return of Mark Rein-Hagen, a new post-modern superhero setting, an OSR-1e driven product by Steve Perrin that shows what the first RPG might have been had it been inspired by sci-fi instead, and a couple of new...

The farthest reaches of space and Humanity's transitioning journey in one direction. The ancient, pre-historical past of that same Humanity, facing eldritch horrors with swords-and-sorcery, in the other direction. Magical and zombie-driven apocalypses in the middle. Kickass terrain (on serious...

As the weather pretty much goes insane here in Denver (Spring sprang, and today we're below freezing and covered in snow, but it promises to be over 70 Fahrenheit on Monday...), here's another week of Picks wrapped up. It's another "all over the map" kind of week, with a D&D Classic; an...

As the extended GM's Day Sale rolls on (until March 16th, friends), there's a ton of great titles out there, and pretty much all of them are marked down 30%. If the Million Dollar Kickstarter that is 7th Sea tells us anything, it's that gaming is nowhere near dead. In fact, it's more alive and...

This would be something for the Mysterious Machine Gods to address. Or Russ, maybe?

Today marks an incredibly important and special day in our hobby. Early on, it might be said it was something of a whim, but over the years, the RPG culture truly embraced the idea of celebrating our Game Masters on an annual basis. After all, no GM, no game! In 2008, the holiday took on an even...

There's a lot going on this week with the Pick of the Day web site. I added in two new categories that I am going daily with as well. The first is a return to something I did before, but a bit more structured, as I am now doing a daily Kickstarter Pick. I've also decided to launch something that...

Many of you know that I am now a Brand Manager for Pinnacle Entertainment Group, the home of Savage Worlds, Deadlands, Rippers, and the impending Savage Rifts. I mention that here, for those who may not know, as a fair disclaimer - I have a distinct bias regarding Savage Worlds products. I try...

So Genghis Con really took over my life last week, and I just didn't have any time on Friday or over the weekend. Here's all of last week's Picks to catch you up until this coming Friday. You'll note a lot of d20 action in this one, from the very first iteration all the way to the current. Add...

This may not be my most eclectic spread of Picks for a given week, but it's got to be up there in the Top 5 or so. As always, I really do try to make sure you're aware of lots of different options from all angles. Ours is one of the most diverse, dynamic hobbies I've ever encountered, and it...

It's been over a week since I got out of the hospital from my operation, and I want to thank you all for the kind wishes and support. It was rough going that first week (as anyone who follows me on Facebook can attest), but the journey's gotten progressively easier, and I am doing much better...

As I write this, I am one day out of the hospital from my bariatric surgery. All went well, and I am expected to recover fully and accomplish the goal, which is to seize back my life in a much healthier fashion. Today, however, I am very drained as my body keeps asking "what the heck just...

This was a huge week for D&D fans (especially those who fancy the 5th Edition), and especially for anyone who has a desire to create and share 5e-driven content, whether as a fan, would-be new publisher, or an established house. The Dungeon Masters Guild - a joint venture between Wizards of the...

So. Wow. No pressure, right? (And, yes, we are still currently working our butts off on a ton of stuff for this thing. The impetus to get it right over getting it done fast is absolute. Thanks for the support and the patience; I hope to make your wait worthwhile.)
