If you’re wanting to bring that down to your tabletops, you can now do so with…
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.

A new supplement for the Conan RPG is now available in pdf form from Modiphius. Conan is well-known for wearing a bunch of different hats during his lifetime.

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,…

In order to show off some more of the new character options that are in the Near Space book for Starfinder that’s out, Paizo likes to put together a character that uses some of them. That way, instead of just getting a bit of a rule without much context, you can see how it fits…
As with any game, especially a complex one, there’s going to be questions about how the rules work and different interactions between them. 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. Japanime Games is being affected by these new orders and have temporarily stopped shipping product. From the announcement: Hey everyone! We hope this message finds you safe and healthy. We know things are all over the place right…
Forgotten Waters, the upcoming storybook game from Plaid Hat Games, has an app that goes along with it. But how will it integrate with the gameplay? Is it require? What can you expect from it? You’ve obviously got questions and Plaid Hat Games has answers. They’ve posted up a little factoid about what you will…
Paizo is welcoming Roll For Combat into their licensed partner family. The channel makes podcasts of different Paizo games and now they’re going to be running the RPG Superstar Contest. I mean, who doesn’t want to be a superstar? I want to be one. So you know I’m putting my name in the hat. You…

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. But Paizo’s here to help with their Threefold Conspiracy Adventure Path for Starfinder. The first part, The Chimera Mystery, is due out soon. In this article, Paizo looks…
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…

Not ever Kickstarter goes as intended. That’s just a fact of life. Well, just because it’s not going great doesn’t mean that you have to totally abandon the project. With some reconfiguring, retooling, and reflection, a relaunch can be much more successful. That’s what’s going on with Kisarta, a new fantasy setting for 5th edition….
Paizo Posts Pathfinder Perrata… I mean, Errata. As an editor, I know just how tought it can be to make sure a book is right when it goes to print. With easily dozens of versions of documents flying around, it’s easy to have a version get sent that wasn’t entirely what you wanted. Be it…
Many of you have thoroughly enjoyed the Root board game from Magpie Games. But perhaps you’ve wanted to get even more involved with the world. Go down into it and really explore the space, to become one of the characters. Well, soon, you’ll be able to, as there’s a Root RPG in the works. And…

The point of games is to have fun. Otherwise, we’re just people sitting around playing pretend with convoluted rules for no reason. During your RPG sessions, topics can come up that won’t always sit well with others. So, how does one approach such topics, and how do GMs make sure that what they’re running works…
