It has some but BH digs a little deeper with dice drop maps and stuff like that.

Black hack does the roll under stat thing while SD does d20 plus modifiers against 4 DCs. Black hack classes are fairly static while SD ones give out new talents at level. SD also has new classes in expansions. Black hack has more of a hexcrawl focus while SD focuses on the dungeon. SD offers...

Blockbuster Kickstarters tend to be examples of the old adage of “An overnight success years in the making”. The recent Shadowdark one that raked in over a million USD is a perfect example. While The Arcane Library wasn’t as well known as some third party 5e creators, it was doing excellent work...

I'm not very deeply immersed in the lore and I think I could run this game from this book. Though it might not hurt to pick one one of those 40K novel/game humble bundles the next time they come out.

While most other folks were learning to bake bread or knit, my pandemic project was diving into the world of Warhammer. Cubicle 7 has three excellent lines that have engaged me over the past few years. It surprised me, then, that they announced a fourth gameline set in universe and a second in...

I have always enjoyed the Orks of the Warhammer setting. Maybe it’s juvenile humor shot through their existence. Maybe it’s the working class accents. Maybe it’s the glee of tearing down the gloomy institutions of the setting with giant spiky hammers and other over the top weapons. Warhammer...

For many long time gamers, Osprey Publishing will always be known as the company with the historical painting guides on the squeaky metal rack stuck in the corner of the friendly local gaming store. But they’ve been publishing actual games for quite a few years now, including the sleeper hit...

If you want to see Magical Kitties in play, we just put up our short run on Theatre of the Mind Players. First episode/session zero is below.

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."

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.

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...

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...

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...

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

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.

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...
