Having recently reviewed the two alternative starter sets for fifth edition D&D, I wanted to also take a moment to discuss another similar product; the D&D Essentials Kit. Now, I’ll be the first to address to elephant in the room. Do we really need another “starter” set for D&D? The original Starter Set was excellent. I understand that the Stranger...
After a bit of a break, I’m back with another Star Wars book review. Well sort of… Dooku: Jedi Lost isn’t actually a book, per se. Yes, you can purchase it in paperback form. But what you’d be buying isn’t actually a novel. Instead, it would be a transcript of an audio drama. (Which is the proper form of this...
This is a review that I’ve wanted to write for a long time. I know I’ve said that a lot lately, but that doesn’t make it any less true. It’s just that the era of games that I’m currently undertaking is one that’s very special to me. I’ve reached the point in my backlog where I’m finally grinding through games...
Several months ago I made a post where I discussed Star Wars: A New Hope. I talked about my personal history with the film and how much it influenced me growing up. All of the things I mentioned in that post were true. But I’d be amiss if I were to claim that A New Hope was the only film...

This is a post that I’ve put off writing for quite some time. I guess the reason for the delay was because I really didn’t know just what to make of these two products. They are definitely the black sheep of Fifth Edition D&D. But, there’s some pretty major changes coming to D&D in the very near future. (Some are...
Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty is the latest MTG expansion to hit game stores. Even though it’s actually been out for a little over two months, I wanted to take my time and really explore the set and its mechanics before sharing my thoughts. Well, I’ve had plenty of time to do that and I’m ready to take a deep look into...
A lot of my coffee reviews focus on special seasonal varieties or off-the-wall flavors. But sometimes it is nice to just sit down with a simple blend and enjoy the coffee for its natural flavor. That’s why when I found this Dunkin’ “Signature Series” box sitting on my grocery store shelf, I knew I had to grab it. One of...

One of the great things about playing through my backlog is getting to sit down with games that I’ve never experienced before. Every now and then, I come across a game that doesn’t really capture my attention. But for the most part, a majority of the titles I review turn out to be pretty good. This was certainly the case...
It feels like the release of Endwalker was just yesterday. But in reality, it’s been several months since FFXIV’s latest expansion. And as usual SE has been busy working on new content for fans to enjoy. Now, if you’ve been paying attention to everything going on in the world of Final Fantasy XIV, you might be wondering what new...
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Critical Role has become a big deal for D&D. To date, we’ve seen the publication of one official and two unofficial Critical Role campaign books for fifth edition. This is no small accomplishment! The Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount brought the world of Critical Role into the official D&D cannon – something...
