Someday, in some glorious future, white people won’t say stupid things that show how oblivious they are to the things that people of color have had to deal with, every day, ever since someone decided to define some people as white to begin with. That day is not today. In case you haven’t discerned this from before, I’m a cis

As we sail into September, it’s time to look at another installment of Ghostfire Gaming’s Pirates of the Aetherial Expanse campaign, Episode 3, The Lost Constellation. We’re halfway through this campaign with the publication of this adventure. Because I’m a mean wet blanket, I’ll be continuing to look at how adaptable this adventure is if you choose to run it

Whenever I see a game or setting, I like to see an example adventure to show how the designers intended to see the setting used. Even if the consumer decides to use the product in a different way, it provides a baseline from which to make an informed deviation. When I wrote my review for The Star-Shaman’s Song of Planegea

And yes, I know, most of you reading my blog have probably heard all this elsewhere,

I wanted to take some time to look at a DMs Guild adventure that recently came out. I’m talking about Fate’s Lingering Shadow, an adventure by Alyssa Visscher. This is a D&D 5e adventure that doesn’t have a presupposed setting, but does have notes about including it in various settings. Disclaimer I did not receive a review copy of this

It’s taken me a little longer to get back to looking at this month’s Fables adventure, Come Sail Away. I’ve had some hearty reviews on the docket lately, plus, working for a school district, for some reason, it gets busy when students come back to school. Go figure.

The history of Asian-themed roleplaying games is filled with pitfalls. Much of this can be encapsulated by realizing that Asian-themed RPGs showed up fairly early in the lifecycle of the roleplaying hobby, and at a time when a lot of the content of the hobby was produced by white male wargamers who wanted to represent what they saw in the

There is so much going on in the RPG hobby right now. Between supply chain issues and fewer conventions happening over the last few years, I had forgotten what it was like for companies to make all their big announcements at one time. In addition, there is a lot going on just in D&D, and a lot going on just
