King Kong: Bringing the Eighth Wonder of the World to Your D&D Campaign

Nerdarchy – Tue, 24 September, 01:03 AM

Revolt on Antares - repurchased

Dungeon Fantastic – Tue, 24 September, 12:25 AM

I had to do it. I finally got a new copy of Revolt on Antares, one of my favorite TSR minigames. I have the rulebook, probably have the map . . . somewhere . . . and have some of the counters.

Taking Damage: Tabletop and Chronic Pain

Rascal News – Mon, 23 September, 06:06 PM

I wake up in the morning, and my fingers creak like old doors. Particularly painful old doors that resent you for trying to move them. There'll be rain today.

From the Sorcerer's Skull – Mon, 23 September, 11:00 AM

I pre-ordered the Space: 1999 role-playing game coming from Modiphius not because I am a big fan of the show (the only complete episode I've seen as an adult I reviewed here) but I do like retro-sci-fi in general, and I am always at least curious about another instantiation of the 2d20 system, which... read more.
