Queercoded is a new product on the DM’s Guild by Oliver Darkshire. It costs $9.95 and as of this writing is the #1 product there. I had no idea what this was going to be. Slash fic with Jarlaxle? Heartwarming romance with Tiamat? An art book? I liked the author’s other work on the DM’s…
The Song of Aracos
Curse of Strahd is one of my fondest D&D memories. Who am I kidding, it’s my favorite. But that was also years ago. It’s seductive to drink from the fountain of “Remember When?” So I felt a nice little nostalgia jolt when our Curse of Strahd DM needed a break and I got to run…
Reposted – Waterdeep: Dragon Heist
When I heard “urban heist adventure” I was signed the hell up. Now Dragon Heist is over. I played it and now I have read it. I wanted to like this adventure. After playing it I came in with a hostile bias. I found it a parade of NPCs handing you things and not enough…
Reposted – Eberron: What’s Past is Prologue
“What’s Past is Prologue” is a Level Zero adventure, and the first of 12 adventures being released for Eberron. What that means is that the players are given a pregen and asked to fill in some details about the character like their name and race and background. The setup of the adventure is very simple. …
Reposted – Faces of Thedas
At long last a day is here. They announced the next D&D Hardcover Adventure, you ask? NO YOU FOOL. Faces of Thedas, the next (Last? Only?) splatbook for Green Ronin’s Dragon Age RPG has arrived. At least in PDF form. Still gotta wait a bit for the dead tree edition. For those interested in the…
Character Creation – Ivar The Kenku Rescue Ranger
Things seem to be getting a little better. The world’s still fucked but I mean my own tabletop RPG play. The unique cocktail from a few months ago of Staff Cuts+Increased Workload+Descent Being Tough to Run+World Overwhelming that led to me thinking, “man I’m never playing D&D again” is fading a bit. I still think…
Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden
The chill in the air means only one thing. No, not our inevitable deaths, although they seem a bit more inevitable this year. No, this is once again time for a Wizards of the Coast Hardcover D&D adventure. Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, is an adventure set in the far north of the Forgotten…
Star Wars: The Last Whatever
After a few weeks of avoiding spoilers and muting literally every Star Wars related word on Twitter I finally got around to seeing Last Jedi. This movie was okay. I would call it uneven. There were parts I really liked and then there were parts I didn’t. I’m not sure how to really feel about…
Avengers: Finite War
This will probably not be a long essay. I am hard pressed to think of a Marvel movie I liked more than Infinity Wars. Doctor Strange, Spiderman 2, Black Panther, Civil War, Avengers 1, Winter Soldier, these were all movies that, when I compare them, yeah I liked Infinity Wars more. Yet, I found myself…
Captain America 3: The Winter Soldier
Still working on getting an archive together for older posts so I thought I’d throw a few on here for posterity. At last we have Marvel’s latest opus, the third Captain America movie, Civil War. Before I thought maybe this movie could be called an Iron Man movie or an Avengers movie because it has…
