Dungeons & Dragons 5e is barely out; you can download D&D Basic or buy the Starter Set. You would think that without the licensing rules for the game that third party publishers can’t yet write products either. Necromancer Games, though, is back from a torpor to produce D&D 5e books and have raised nearly all […]
Weapons and their Pet Heroes: A Review of Wield
Think of an example where a story has been driven by the conflicting purpose of two personalities. Now, think of an example where one of those two competing forces of intent belonged to an inanimate object. Not a plot device… never something so tame and relatively goal-free. You might have thought of Aladdin and the […]
Concept art from the Dieselpunk RPG InSomnia
InSomnia is a computer RPG set in a dangerous dieselpunk universe. It’s a Kickstarter that’s already attracted 600+ backers and $15K+ in a few days. This is attempt two for InSomnia, though. The first attempt was cancelled because the development team, Studio MONO, felt they hadn’t communicated the game clearly enough. This is not, as […]

Dice portraits attack t-shirts for the second time

Help kickstart RPG dice for the visually impaired
This is a really good idea. Braille dice that come in all the varieties gamers use. No wonder this humble Kickstarter is smashing targets. [Back the Campaign] These dice will all be 3D printed. That’s one of the factors that makes the $1 pledge tier so interesting. For just $1 you can get a sketchup […]
Urban Shadows RPG promises corruption
Urban Shadows looks interesting. This is a Kickstarter, but it’s already funded, and it only took a few days. In fact, Andrew Medeiros’ game currently sits at x3 the target price, so this looks like a hot one. [Back Campaign] Urban Shadows certainly tempts me, and I like the style of the pitch. I can’t […]
