    Playing – Cthulhu: Death May Die

    I’ve been following the Mythos since I was a teenager. I read the short stories, played the TTRPG, and even picked up the original Arkham Horror (basically Candyland with eldritch horrors roaming the neighbourhood). Over the years I’ve seen the proliferation across movies, books, and games (including the Smash Up: Obligatory Cthulhu Set), more than Read more

    Playing – Pirate Borg

    “A scurvy-ridden, rules light, art heavy tabletop RPG … This game is about being a greedy, filthy, scoundrel.” So reads the text at Pirate Borg‘s homepage, barely scratching the grimdark surface of the Mork Borg aesthetic of an 80’s metal band album ala Corrosion of Conformity or Iron Maiden splattered across a handbook akin to Read more

    Game Theory – Dragons & Elements

    For years I’ve been applying a house rule that most undead creatures would be immune to necrotic damage but take additional damage from radiant sources. Vulnerability (double damage) seemed to be excessive, but I picked up another house rule to apply +50% damage for vulnerability that seemed a better fit and still not that complex Read more

    Game Theory – Dungeon Map Evolution

    I’m a long time gamer and seen many a map. Recently experiences at a couple of tables have really highlighted how map expectations have changed over the years and gamer generations. I’ve got fond memories of our DM describing the rooms of “from the door you enter, the wall goes 20 feet west, 30 feet Read more
