Back at the beginning of the year, I decided that I was going to rework how I was doing my Fables first impressions/reviews, by just framing the whole thing as a multi-part review, looking at each adventure as it came out. Unfortunately, it looks like I’m only going to get to use this approach exactly one time, because the Fables

Was I planning on digging into a Quick Start Guide today? No, I was not. Did I want to read it when it was released and put words to (virtual) paper? Yes, I did. If you haven’t heard, Critical Role released a Quick Start version of Candela Obscura, the RPG that’s going to be the underlying rules system for their

I’m pretty late to this party. I’m not sure if there is anything left to be said about Arcadia Issue 27, i.e. Sharkadia, that hasn’t already been said. But I’m going to try anyway. I mean, honestly, when it comes to reviewing content, I need to keep moving or feel like I’m going to die. Wait, isn’t that a trait

Let’s finish off our look at all of the subclasses currently available for playtest if you are a patron of Green Ronin’s Twilight Accord Patreon. This is a great project with a wonderful goal, so you should definitely back it, especially to get the context for some of these subclasses that lean more heavily into the setting background. To round

We looked at four of the Twilight Accord subclasses last time around. Let’s climb back into these playtests and take a look at another four. As I said last time around, I’m not looking at these in release order, I’m looking at them in class order, since I gathered all of them into my own PDF for my personal reference.

Once upon a time, I was going to start a series of articles looking at playtest material. This wasn’t like the playtest material that is all about redefining a game system for an updated release. This was the other kind of playtest. Like all those Unearthed Arcanas that we used to see for future product releases. New rule system. Subclasses

I’m a whole issue behind on looking at Arcadia, and since the magazine closes up shop in July, I don’t want to miss the chance to take a look at the individual issues. So even though we just saw the release of issue 27 a couple of weeks ago, let’s roll back the clock to those bygone days of about

Okay, time to get back to work, and by work, I mean, looking not only at games, but at potential games. And by potential games, I mean playtests. And by playtest, in this particular instance, I mean the third Tales of the Valiant playtest packet, which is all about monsters this time around. I was a little surprised to see

I love Star Trek, and one of my favorite Star Trek series of recent years has been Lower Decks. I’ll admit that when the series was first announced, I was worried about an extreme, over-the-top adult comedy series that would ridicule me for my love of Star Trek. Instead, while there is definitely some weird gross-out humor from time to

I don’t want to post too many entries like this, but given the last few months, I wanted to touch base on this. Some of this is unique to me, and some of this, I think, is relevant to the times we currently live in. I’ve been having a hard time writing lately, and while I love reading and reviewing
