I rarely get gaming products for my birthday or Christmas, because even the geeks in my life have a hard time keeping up with what I have or don’t have. That said, as much as I have a weakness for GM screens, I haven’t been quite as ardently picking those up since, oh, around March of last year for some
Read moreThis took me a little longer to write, not because it is a particularly difficult topic, but because, well, it turns out I get a little unfocused when people schedule both a pandemic and a coup at the same time.

I love magazine content to fuel my RPG obsession. Unfortunately, there isn’t much out there these days since Dungeon Magazine and Dragon Magazine were shuttered. I subscribed to D&D Insider, so I read many issues of the 4e version of Dragon Magazine, but that content always felt, I don’t know . . . safe? I enjoy Dragon+, but it also

Today’s review is going to be a little strange, because it’s a review of a pack in of another product. I’m looking at the adventure included with the Klingon GM Screen, which, at the time of this writing, is only available as part of the GM Screen bundle, either in PDF or physical form. As far as GM Screens go,

I’d like to know what you think is necessary for you to pick up a new edition of an RPG. One change I’m making this time around is to get a better idea
