I would just like to start this review by saying bless you to anyone making some bite-sized content for various RPGs, so I have something to talk about while I’m working on larger review projects. Today’s bite comes via Teos (Alphastream) Abadia. Last June when he was a guest on Dragon Talk, the official D&D podcast, he wrote up the

Ghostfire Gaming is currently a company that is hard to ignore in the D&D 5e space. The company has produced a campaign setting, player’s guide, and is working on a bestiary for their Grim Hollow setting, not to mention the other projects that they have helped shepherd through the Kickstarter process. While there have been a few starter adventures provided

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that Arcadia has published 11 issues in one year, in addition to delivering the Kingdoms and Warfare PDF, the Illrigger class, and the Beastheart class. That’s a pretty impressive years’ worth of material. Now that we stopped to think about how much we’ve already seen in 2021, let’s take a look at

When I wasn’t looking, it sprung itself on me, pinning me to the keyboard. Then I realized that James Introcaso had sprung his monstrous ally upon me. So, yeah, sit back and enjoy this first

We’re going to change it up a little bit today and look at a work of fiction that doesn’t have any rules attached to it. Well, the editors might disagree, but you know what I mean. We’re going to look at Vox Machina: Kith & Kin, the first novel released that follows characters from Critical Role. In this case, we

I’ve read way less of this book than would be standard for one of my First Impressions but worry not! I still sat in my living room with a notebook, stopping every few pages to take notes. If you have been cut off from the greater D&D hive mind for a while, Strixhaven–A Curriculum of Chaos is the latest Magic

I’m a little late looking at this issue. I think there was some kind of holiday, and there was food. It’s kind of confusing. At any rate, I’m going to pass along some thoughts on MCDM’s Arcadia Issue 10. Ten issues already, that really snuck up on us. Disclaimer While I am a member of the MCDM Patreon, I was

If you detect a theme in the most recent reviews on the blog here, you may be able to determine how far behind I am on my reviews. With that in mind, let’s look at the totally seasonal review of Dread Metrol: Into the Mists. If you haven’t heard of this product before, this is another new Eberron related product
