Things from the Flood are coming
Tales from the Loop was, perhaps, the breakout RPG of 2017. Free League Publishing’s RPG stormed the ENnies and left many gamers in love with it.

Our final battle – a review of Degenesis: Rebirth Edition
I’m trying not to buy any more roleplaying games; I don’t need any more, and especially not fat hardbacks that strain my poor shelves. But l had to have Degenesis. All 700 pages from the two core rulebooks spoke to me, in the way books sometimes do, whispering of impressive quality, originality and fantastic art. […]

Gamer transforms $10 mini into an earth elemental masterpiece
You can buy Reaper’s Large Earth Elemental from Amazon for under $10. It’s unpainted and suitable for 25mm heroic scale fantasy miniatures. D&D player and Tennessee based John Chadwick purchased one and set about transforming it with an incredible paint job and flocking. I’ll admit it is the moss that first caught my attention. It […]
Bravery: D&D vs CoC
Roleplaying games are often about bravery. Characters charge into danger in order to rescue those weaker than themselves, to get to the loot first or just because it’s the right thing to do. But bravery comes in all different shapes and forms. In Dungeons & Dragons, your adventuring party equipped with magic weapons and divine […]
