    Ring Side Report-RPG Review of Alchemy Manual

    I do read some crap, but more often then not, I don't "formally" review them. I only have time to do a nice write up once a week for an RPG product, and, I don't want to waste it on something that's horrible. As for this one in particular, I just felt the mechanics were the worst part of the...

    Pathfinder 1E Alchemist: Man of Science or Fledgling Caster

    Elysium (Here There Be Spoilers)

    I think of this as heavy handed SCI-FI. The director and writers have some points they want, and they threw out some logic to get there. That was a problem as SCI-FI already throws some logic out and doing that too much will put too many cracks in the fourth wall. I loved this movie, but if...

    Traps in 13th Age

    Traps are a great way to whittle down your PCs resources. Make them quick, make them hurt, and make them hit the whole group. There a standard part of a dungeon crawl, but if you don't include the whole group then its just one guy playing DnD with the GM.
