Over the weekend, I received a copy of the new Cypher Character Rulebook as a backer reward. I’d already received the book in PDF a while back and given it a once-over, but with the hardcover in hand, I decided to give it a more thorough examination.Before I talk about it, I should make clear that w... read more.

The Kind GM – Mon, 03 August, 06:53 PM
The word poise will always bring a specific character to mind. Poise can be a feature for many characters, both mechanic or background wise. Wizards need poise so they do not lose control of their spells. Monks, many times, fight with a calm resolve. Barbarians…well, no. Anyway. Of all those ideas a... read more.

I’m somewhat a connoisseur of cozy slop games. Ever since I played Harvest Moon (since renamed to Story of Seasons—don’t play games with me, kid) and Rune Factory via emulator in middle school, I’ve been trying to recapture the high of these Precious Moments looking baby farmer things. I followed St... read more.

Many years ago, rumor has it, two noted Pokémon trainers in the area, Rogahn the Blackbelt (a Fighting-type trainer of renown) and Zelligar the Psychic (a Psychic-type trainer of mystery and power) pooled their Pokédollars and Pokémon to construct a home and gym for the two of them to use as a base ... read more.

It may come as no surprise, dear reader, that my American cousin (distant cousin) Jimothy is coming for a European tour after he has gone, what he refers to as, “viral.” I am uncertain why travel was on his mind when he should be consulting the old sawbones, but he is set to arrive in our fair vill... read more.

Alright, (the intended to be, but failed) brief sabbatical to purge my brain meat of whalecraft is over. It got real bad for a moment, worse than the almost model train phase. I know too much about American whaling to ever be happy again. Now though, I can return focus to the reason I burdened mysel... read more.

The answer is always more dragons, right? I feel I kind of suck running published adventures. I have been running RPGs for over twenty years now, but I feel like I skipped a step in the standard GM skills evolution by going straight to homebrew campaigns and adventures. Adventures written by someone... read more.

Art by Jeff EasleyA lot has been written about the "Myth of the Frontier" underpinnings of D&D, and the games perhaps greater homology to Westerns than traditional fantasy in many ways. Interestingly, despite that clear element of the game's core assumptions, when we look at published D&D settings, ... read more.

Bathtub Reviews are an excuse for me to read modules a little more closely. I’m doing them to critique a wide range of modules from the perspective of my own table and to learn for my own module design. They’re stream of consciousness and unedited critiques.
