Exploring the Familiar in Tabletop Roleplaying Games

April 8, 2022 by Guest Writer Leave a Comment

We tend to think of exploration as “seeing something new”. We imagine floating crystal highways, a dragon made of cheese, or a huge galactic bug predator; something we haven’t seen before and could scarcely imagine.

July 13, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Monte Cook Games has signed on Roll20 as their official “virtual gaming space” partner.

Return Man to Dust: A Review of The Dark Spiral

November 17, 2014 by Paul Baldowski Leave a Comment

Monte Cook & Bruce Cordell team up for The Strange RPG Kickstarter

October 16, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

[Back this Campaign] Monte Cook and Bruce Cordell are both professional developers, both have had success on Kickstarter and are long time friends. Amazingly, they’ve never worked on a full RPG together. This Kickstarter for a game they’re working on called The Strange is likely to change that. The Strange makes use of multiple words […]
