We (as in Jessica and I from EN Publishing) were exhibiting at London's Dragonmeet TTRPG convention this weekend. It has long been my favourite convention, due to its smaller size and its TTRPG focus. UK Games Expo is ten times the size, and is much more boardgame-centric, while Dragonmeet has...

The first two episodes of Vince Gilligan's (Breaking Bad) new show dropped on Friday. Given that he once wrote for The X-Files, it's fitting that he's returning to sci-fi this time. I really liked the first two episodes. I really appreciated that they didn't pull a Lost and just keep piling on...

Fantasy Grounds, the Virtual Tabletop (VTT) which launched over 20 years ago in 2004, has always been a premium option for VTT users. That is--until today! Because, effective immediately, Fantasy Grounds is free to use. Previously an FG license cost $50, and then you had to buy the games and...

I know we all know it’s the name of the Dungeons & Dragons group on Stranger Things, and the new D&D starter set, but I thought it would be fun to take a look at the origin of the real-world Hellfire Club! The Hellfire Club was started by the Duke of Wharton, a man reputed as "a drunkard, a...

I made a terrible life decision and decided to start reorganising my game shelves. A couple of hours in and I have lost all hope. But now I’ve started have to finish. You should see the floor in my office right now now… hip deep in books. I now regret everything.

After 'sunsetting' the active development of Dungeons & Dragons' ambitious 3D virtual tabletop back in March, when 90%--about 30 people--of the team was laid off, Wizards of the Coast has confirmed that development on Project Sigil is ending permanently. In a message on D&D Beyond, WotC thanked...
