A lot of us are camping out in place as the pandemic continues on. So, there’s a chance you’ve not been able to get friends over for gaming, or go to their place, or the LGS. Thankfully, there’s solo versions of games and scenarios coming out that can help. Here’s one from Modiphius for the…

I’ve been playing D&D most weekends for quite some time now. That’s how often my two groups meet up. Of course, there’s still some weekends where everyone’s busy, and so that means no gaming, right? Well, if I had Into the Unknown, a new multi-system solo RPG adventure that’s up on Kickstarter now, I would…
I have to say, I don’t know what it means to be “mellified.” Spellcheck is telling me it’s not even a word. So, I’m pretty sure it’s bad if it happens to you. And if it happens to a mage, that’s gotta be worse, right? And if that mage is in a crypt? That’s just…

I’ve talked before about how much I love physical books in my hand. However, I cannot deny how useful having a digital version is as well. You can carry an entire library in your pocket.

Considering how many of us have been stuck at home for over a month at this point, I’m sure some of you out there have tried to see if you have psionic abilities. The remote’s just out of your reach and you’re like, “Maybe if I just think reeeeeeally hard, it’ll jump to me…” Unfortunately,…

And with a game like Dungeons & Dragons, those interactions can get rather complex, indeed. Well, WotC is here to help. They’ve updated their Sage Advice Compendium to give you all the…
We all tyop from time to tiem. That’s just life. Most of the time, it just leads to a nonsense word. However, occasionally, you can create a real gem with a typo. Well, the folks at Paizo have been saving some of these typoes and turning them into monsters for Pathfinder. They’ve got full stats…
As I mentioned, a lot of different countries rolled out new regulations and closures during the outbreak.

In most RPGs, the gods are already set as part of the campaign setting and you merely get to play the heroes that roam around in the world that they’ve created. In Incarnis, you get to play as those gods and part of what you’re doing is you’re creating that world that the heroes will…
A mystery is afoot! It can be tough to include a mystery in your RPGs, owing to the freewheeling nature of what parties tend to get into.

Look. You know me. I’ve been doing this job for almost a decade now and just when I think I’ve seen it all, along comes a new premise or theme for a game that I’d never even considered. I always love when this happens, so I was happy when Dish Pit Witches came along. It’s…
Sure, having electronic books is nice and you can carry an entire library in your pocket, but there’s just something about having the actual book there that I love. If you’re like me and you are excited about the Odyssey of the Dragonlords set of books from Modiphius, then you’re in luck. The print version…
This post is just setting off all my Primus senses. Extinction Curse is like Extinction Burst. The circus makes me think of Mr. Krinkle and Prof. Nutbutter. It’s just all going on. But while I have rockin’ bass licks going through my brain, let’s talk about the free-to-download Extinction Curse Player’s Guide now available from…
