D&D TTRPG news and articles
Dungeons & Dragons is more than a game; it's a cultural titan and the gateway to fantasy adventure for millions worldwide. At its heart, D&D is a collaborative storytelling experience. Players create unique heroes, from mighty barbarians to wise wizards, and embark on perilous quests in a world brought to life by the Dungeon Master. The rules provide structure, but the real magic comes from the shared imagination of the group. Every roll of the dice and every player decision shapes a unique narrative, making each campaign a truly personal epic forged in creativity and chance.
The game’s enduring appeal lies in its powerful social core. In an age of digital screens, D&D brings people together to cooperate, solve problems, and build legends face to face. This spirit has fuelled its explosive resurgence in pop culture, introducing the magic of tabletop roleplaying games to a new generation. Yet for all its grand legacy, D&D remains wonderfully accessible. All it takes is a set of dice, a few friends, and a spark of imagination to unlock infinite worlds of adventure. It is the ultimate engine for heroic storytelling.
Box of tricks: A review of Dungeon Master’s Guide
Dungeon Master’s Guide is the third core book in the new Dungeons & Dragons. It follows the Player’s Handbook and the Monster Manual. Wizards of the Coast’s staggered release schedule for this edition of D&D made sense, helped keep the quality up but I sense some D&D 5e fans will be saying “At last!” now […]
What an ambush! A review of The Rise of Tiamat
The Rise of Tiamat is an adventure in Wizards of the Coast’s Tyranny of Dragons series. It follows on from the Hoard of the Dragon Queen and while, on the whole, it is a good book it packs one heck of an ambush! I enjoyed the Hoard of the Dragon Queen. Wolfgang Baur and Steve […]

Dogs Playing D&D
The original “Dogs Playing Poker” is actually a series of 16 oil paintings by C. M. Coolidge, an American artist who died in 1934. All 16 in the series show anthropomorphised dogs but only 9 had the dogs around a table. The series, commissioned, in 1903 was to advertise cigars. Johannes Grenzfurthner’s alternative doesn’t promote […]
Dice & Slice launches
How often do you mix gaming with grub? G*M*S Magazine do and so Dice & Slice was born. The project started with a Kickstarter campaign and now the first episode is out! Watch the adventure from the starter set of Dungeons & Dragons played out while the gaming group enjoy some stuffed butternut squash. First; […]
D&D 5e suffers digital set back as Wizards of the Coast and Trapdoor breakup
Trapdoor Technologies is an independent digital book and platform expert that had landed the contract to build the digital toolset to support Dungeons & Dragons 5e. The decision by Wizards of the Coast to outsource this development made sense. They had struggled with their own tools for D&D 4. The problem seemed to be WotC […]
Getting started with D&D 5: A review of Hoard of the Dragon Queen
Hoard of the Dragon Queen is designed as the inaugural campaign for the new Dungeons & Dragons. It is set in Forgotten Realms, on the Sword Coast and much of the action takes place between Neverwinter and Baldur’s Gate. Even if you’re new to D&D those are two names which you might recognise. This is […]
Was OSR just a scarecrow? A review of D&D 5e Player’s Handbook
This is a review of the Player’s Handbook for the 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons. It’s taken me a while get my sweaty fingers on the book… a long while. In the meantime there have been plenty of reviews and the great majority are overwhelmingly positive. But what does this mean? I’m a roleplayer […]
Fantasy Ground puts Pathfinder top, eclipsed only by the D&D collective
At the start of the month Geek Native shared some stats from the virtual tabletop software Roll20. It showed that Dungeons & Dragons dominated the list of RPGs gamers wanted to play. The catch? To give D&D the lead you had to add up the share of all the slices of D&D. You had to […]
