NerdBurger Games’ CODE WARRIORS, A Review
I’m a huge fan of CAPERS, Craig’s award winning RPG of humans wielding superpowers during Prohibition. It uses a card base mechanic that suggests a form of gambling that perfectly suits the hedonism of the era’s recreations. Cards and gambling put against a world of gangsters and speakeasys is storytelling and mechanical perfection, offering gameplay that enhances the in-game culture of the...

Returning to Gen Con
I’ve missed Gen Con, really missed it. I’ve been lucky enough to be a regular attendee for the last few years, and it’s become something of an addiction. I’ve met so many amazing people over the years, Gen Con has become less of a gaming con for me and more of an opportunity to hang out with friends I can only see once a year. Even with its return last year, those of us outside the US were...

An Analysis of the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Trailer
The official trailer for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is out and I decided to dust off my film school education to give it a proper analysis not just as a TTRPG journalist but from a film criticism standpoint. Though I should note I did drop out of film school… To start with, let’s talk about what a trailer is. It’s a commercial for the movie. This usually means its...

Does The D&D Movie Poster Feature Pathfinder Artwork?
The Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves movie poster was previewed today. It was created by an artist called Bosslogic, and features an ampersand containing various pieces of D&D monster art. The poster was on display at San Diego Comic Con as part of the official D&D movie promotional event. However, one part of the poster appears to be Pathfinder's depiction of an intellect devourer.

RPG Print News – Columbia Games, Raging Swan, WizKids, and More
If we’re being honest, finding treasures like the giant mimic mini for Dungeons & Dragons is one of the great reasons to be a gamer. There is also a modest Lovecraft adventure for D&D as well as a massive 1400 page setting with augmented rules. There is plenty of support for OSR games, locations for HarnWorld, and extras like cards and miniature docks for fantasy RPGs. There is also one sci-fi...
