For must of us, the Ukraine is just one of those weird places on the Risk map that makes up what we consider Russia. Even with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the independence of so many of the states that formerly made it up, most westerners know nothing about any of these nations […]
Spelljammer is the best D&D setting ever. That’s right, I said it and I mean it. Read it again. Best. Setting. Ever. Does it have some ridiculous elements? Sure. I’m not going to deny that the Giff and Space Hamsters aren’t jokes, though I believe both were intentionally meant as jokes. And yes, physics are […]

Even if they are not doing heroic things, these characters are generally somewhat extraordinary and are often, at worst, anti-heroes.

In the days after Serpentfall, a handful of Marines – the last of their once mighty unit – are shipwrecked on Kaijushima… a place you might know better as Monster Island. Wreathed in mist and veiled in mystery, Monster Island was bad enough during the BIG ONE, when it held cannibal soldiers sworn to kill […]
My gaming life began not with Dungeons and Dragons but with the TSR Marvel Super Heroes game from the 80’s. I was (and am) a huge Marvel fan, anyway, so being able to drop one of my characters into that universe was a dream come true. When other people’s first characters were fighting orcs and […]
In many ways, Blood and Honor is more of an extension and revision of the rules presented in Houses of the Blooded than a separate game. In fact, at one point John Wick, in typical John Wick fashion, states that a great deal of Blood and Honor is lifted directly from Houses of the Blooded. […]
The destiny of the worlds in a Space 1889 campaign is determined by three distinct groups of people. The first is the Brotherhood of Luxor. The second are the Vulcans.

Fresh from last week’s Twitter rant, Jake picks up where he left off this time with no 140-character limitations. In this week’s show we revisit the Captain America movie, chat about how none of us […]
