A New RPG Blogging Network... rpgSPOTLIGHT

When I first got into blogging several years ago, I found the concept of a blogging network to be really cool.  I got to find and read several other blogs dedicated to gaming, while drawing in visitors to my site as well.  It just kind of felt cool to be a part of something, right from the get-go. Then the network that I joined stopped [Read the article]

Don't Touch My Dice!

Across the folding table John tossed his d20, this was an important roll. It caught on his finger and went high into the air. The die came down, hit the edge of the Player’s Handbook open in front of him, and shot across the table towards me. Reflexively, I dropped my forearm along the edge of the table to keep it from continuing its runaway [Read the article]

A Brand New 30 Year Old Franchise: The Dark Eye

Many refer to The Dark Eye as Germany’s Dungeons and Dragons. It is a fantasy RPG featuring elves, mages, dwarves, and all the typical things one might expect from a fantasy RPG, and until recently, it was only offered in German. In November of 2016, however, the 5th edition of the game was translated into English, allowing thousands to finally dig in to the system [Read the article]

Interview with Venger Satanis.  Also, a $500 Contest!

Venger Satanis does not shy away from the controversial… He is the author of Alpha Blue, an RPG that places sexual themes into a spotlight, and his new Adventure Writing Like a Fucking Boss puts an expletive directly into the title of each book. Regardless, his distinctive style provides content for a niche in the RPG industry that most RPG authors leave empty, and Venger [Read the article]

Class-Based Thoughts on Gnomes

Their roots can be seen in several mythologies, among which are the type of domestic fey that resided in people’s homes fixing broken items, gnomes that played pranks on people, gnomes that made deals in exchange for something, a type earth elemental, and the subterranean type of creatures that were used synonymously with such creatures [Read the article]

Review:  Fragged Empire

A concession of middle age, but I’m finally starting to warm up to space opera or, science fantasy themed RPGs. I’m still yet to delve into the major IPs. I haven’t read any RPG version of Star Wars, nor did Star Trek ever make it to my table. I’ve played Traveller twice. Admittedly, it’s taken awhile. While the excitement about Paizo’s recent release of Starfinder [Read the article]

The Store has Re-opened!  (sort of)

I had to shut the store down a few months ago due to time constraints – I just didn’t have enough of it!  However, I have received multiple emails asking for some exceptions, so I’ve come up with a compromise… I’m opening the store back up, but the selection of products has been reduced.  I’ll only sell our best products, and only as they become [Read the article]
