Review – Black Rock Bandits
Black Rock Bandits is a new, 30 page, adventure written by Tracy Hurley, aka the infamous Sarah Darkmagic, and intended for a group of up to six level 1 PCs. This adventure is part of the 6 Pack Adventure series from Postmortem Studios. 6 Pack Adventures are apparently intended to give a DM everything he [...]
Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale – Almost a Campaign Guide
I run my D&D campaign in my own homebrew world. Even so, I like to steal ideas from other places and incorporate them into my world. That includes other published campaign settings. In fact, I am a setting and map junkie. As such, I often buy setting supplements or products aimed at specific settings if [...]

So here it is. The long-awaited companion (dare I say sequel?) volume to Fiasco is here, and it’s ready to make several bad situations a whole Hell of a lot worse. (Believe it or not, this is a favorable review!)

Opportunity Actions: Red Box Play Report (Thurgenar’s Take)
After much anticipation, I got a chance to play in a Red Box scenario engineered by our own DM Samuel, the payoff to RPG Musings’ Red Box Haiku contest. I was one who volunteered to play and be recorded for an actual play podcast of the event. (I’ll post a link when it becomes available.) [...]
Castle Ravenloft Review
Second (or maybe equal) to my love of RPGs is my love of board games. When these two worlds intersect, it is a time of joy for me. I keep games like Hero’s Quest, Runebound, and Descent on standby. Like those games, Castle Ravenloft is about exploring a dungeon with fantasy-themed characters in order to [...]
