“I was eight years old,” Satine Phoenix reveals, about her first encounter with Dungeons & Dragons. “I found the starter box in my basement. It had my Dad’s old characters […]
As promised/threatened in my review of the wonderful, minimalist solo TTRPG Alone Among the Stars yesterday, I wanted to share the results of my first play of the game. Do […]
Though I’ve had an interest in tabletop roleplaying games since discovering D&D in the early 80s, I’ve not played as many as I would have liked to. It’s even more […]
From the look of a few articles this week, you’d be forgiven for thinking that I’ve turned into some sort of Sea of Thieves fansite. It’s true that Rare’s glorious loot ’em up has been taking up an awful lot of my attention recently, but it’s definitely been an exciting time to be a Sea of Thieves player, given that […]
Available now from your friendly local games store or directly from Mongoose Publishing I’ve become pretty addicted to Rare’s wonderfully emergent, open-world pirate video game Sea of Thieves. It’s deliberately […]
As predicted in my review of issue 3, things come to an explosive and messy end in the fourth and final issue of Cullen Bunn and Miguel Valderrama’s excellent Cyberpunk […]
With the Cyberpunk 2077 game now launched (not smoothly, to say the least – on consoles in any case), it’s the perfect time to fill in some of the detail […]
The first issue of Trauma Team was a great introduction to the world of Cyberpunk 2077 – from the perspective of the not-often-explored Trauma Team, a sort of militarised medical […]
I’ve been a fan of cyberpunk – that’s with a small ‘c’, as in the genre – since the late 80s, when the term first came to my attention. I’ve […]
I first covered The Star Legation earlier this year after checking out the impressive and rather generously sized demo. I was very taken with how well written the game was, as well as the variety on offer with the look and feel of the characters you interact with along the way. The Star Legation is currently seeking funds on Kickstarter […]
Those of you who know me either personally or through the blog know that I’m a big fan of TTRPGs. Though not historically well known for being a progressive or particularly socially aware space in the gaming universe, I’ve seen some great initiatives being undertaken in the community to raise money for worthy causes in recent days. The first one […]
From time to time, I come across – or have my attention drawn to – some really promising projects in development. In this instance, Andy Mitchell – the creator of The Star Legation – reached out and asked me to check out the demo for his game. After taking the time to play through the generously sized demo, I’ve been […]
Price: Free – Available via Amazon Alexa-enabled devices – Website Though there’s a lot of privacy-related concerns surrounding voice activated, always connected tech (which are more than justified, I might add), there’s some incredibly cool features that few people may know about, let alone even try. I’m not sure where or how I stumbled upon the idea of playing RPGs […]
We’re almost a week into the New Year – as well as the new decade – and I’ve yet to cover the games I’m most excited for over the coming […]
Out Now – Version Played: Xbox One (via Game Pass) – Also available on: Switch, PS4, PC Popular tabletop card game Munchkin, designed by Steve Jackson (the American one, not […]
I featured the deliciously dark DnD 5e companion Corpus Malicious shortly after its crowdfunding campaign launched on Kickstarter (at which point, impressively, it had already smashed its funding goal) – and, with ten days to go on the campaign, I thought I’d check in and see how it was doing. Turns out the answer to that is very well indeed. […]
