I’ve always wanted a fancy gaming table – a nice, well-crafted gaming surface to really enhance the atmosphere when people sit down to play. However, Courtney and I realized that getting a massive table wasn’t in the cards for us, as we would need something on the smaller size. Jump forward a few years to …

It’s no surprise that I (and by I, I mean Courtney and myself) love Lord of the Rings. We read the books, saw the movies, and even themed our wedding around the novels. She even got me a customized dice box engraved in elvish for our anniversary. Funny enough, we never tried out the various …

Recently, Wizards announced two upcoming D&D books for this year: the Feywild-themed adventure Wild beyond the Witchlight and the Magic: The Gathering-crossover sourcebook Strixhaven: a Curriculum of Chaos. Details about Witchlight are scant, but Wizards dropped a new unearthed arcana detailing five new playtest subclasses for Strixhaven. Player characters get the opportunity to join …

The most recent D&D adventure book Candlekeep Mysteries released on March 16th, 2021. Much like the previous Rime of the Frostmaiden book, I knew I wanted to design a Candlekeep Mysteries Map pack for DMs in need. The big difference from the last release is that instead of focusing on one chapter to reference (Ythryn), …
Full disclosure: I was paid to write a Scroll-io review for both the website and Kickstarter. All views and opinions are my own. It’s game night: The party just mopped the floor with a gang of orcs like it was nothing, and that was meant to be the tough warmup to the boss fight. …

I do yardwork for a retired couple in town, and we spend a bit of time chatting about this and that. They’re aware of some of the geeky stuff I’m into and are curious about some of the games. Not long ago the topic of new games came up, and I told them about …
Sometimes simply rolling a d20 feels a little lackluster. Having your rogue effortlessly unlock a stuck door, a barbarian crashing through a barricade, or the wizard recalling ancient arcana can get a little rote. But what if your personal talents could translate to these skill checks? Would you feel up to the challenge that …
I didn’t ask for much for Christmas this year. Mostly simple stuff — socks, a book or two, maybe a new hat. While I did have a handful of TTRPG books on my wishlist, my wife and family surprised me with 3 new games! I already knew that I would write up a Side Quest …
I’m burying the lede here: I like the new Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything book. It may not be my absolute favorite D&D entry, but there’s plenty of useful info within. Want a way to customize races? Tasha’s got it covered. 30 new subclasses, including the Artificer? It’s in there! New monsters? Ok, maybe not that, …
