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.

Yes, I’m lagging behind with this First Impression of the most recent Unearthed Arcana in the One D&D Playtest. Not only did I get busy breaking down the individual chapters in Keys from the Golden Vault, but it was also a bit of a challenge getting back in the swing of One D&D after the January of Broken Dreams. Plus,

How is it almost the end of February (time of this blog post)? While I’ve been busy looking through all of the heists in Keys from the Golden Vault, another issue of Arcadia has crept up on me. I’m going to try not to think about how these issues are now kind of a countdown to the end of the
