The Willowmere Vagabonds an OSR RPG Module Review – #RPGaMonth

by 3 Comments

Today I'm going to take a look at an adventure module using the For Gold & Glory rule set, called The Willowmere Vagabonds. This module is compatible with the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition rule set.

This module is my #RPGaMonth Challenge book for April 2019.  While the goal of this challenge is to read one book a month with the intention of getting some of those unplayed books you have read, I didn't quite do that this month. See, I was sent this module by the writer specifically to review. So while I did read an RPG book in April, it wasn't one I have owned for a long time. [ READ MORE ]

#RPGaMonth - January - Shadowrun Beginner Box

Similar to the #LessShameMoreGame challenge, the goal of the #RPGaMonth Challenge is to get some use out of those roleplaying games/modules/splatbooks that you picked up but never actually sat down and read. Whether that means loading up the PDF reader or dusting off a book from your shelf of shame, it doesn't matter.
This month I'm dusting off a copy of the Shadowrun 5th Edition Beginner Box that I picked up in 2015 but never got around to actually reading. [ READ MORE ]

A look back at my first RPG, TSR Marvel Super Heroes

by 5 Comments

For today's #ThrowbackThursday I'm taking a look back at a classic review of the Marvel Super Heroes "Yellow Box" from TSR.

This review was originally published on July 3rd 2011 after I dusted off my copy of TSR Marvel and ran a game for some of my friends.
Below you will find my original review,  with only very minor editing. I'm trying to keep the feel and tone of the original post. I will, at times, insert comments or corrections, and you will find these in [square brackets]. After the original post, you can find my current thoughts on the game reviewed. [ READ MORE ]

License to Slay – Review and Giveaway

by 4 Comments

A few weeks back I was contacted on Google+ by John Feldman. He saw my first Gamer Gift Guide and wanted to talk to me about The Bureau of Dragons and something they offer called the Licence to Slay.

I took a look at their website and thought that the Licence to Slay seemed like a pretty cool bit of gamer bling. After a bit of back and forth, I agreed to write up a review of the License as long as John was also willing to give one away to one of you, our fans.
So here we have my review of the License to Slay and our first ever Tabletop Bellhop giveaway! [ READ MORE ]

Tabletop Gaming Weekly – Sept 10 – #WhatDidYouPlayMondays

by Leave a Comment

Every Monday I take a look back at my last week in gaming. I do this on Monday to be part of Geeky Goodies' #WhatDidYouPlayMonday.

The big thing that happened this past week is that Sean and I attended Queen City Conquest, where we both got in a ton of gaming. In addition, talking about tech in games got me itching to get XCOM off of my pile of shame. Lastly, I'm still playing 7 Wonders and Race for the Galaxy on Board Game Arena. [ READ MORE ]
