At long last, one of the most sought after and infamous campaign settings is finally here for Fifth Edition D&D… Spelljammer is back! As someone who spent quite a lot of time playing Second Edition, I remember the original release of Spelljammer quite fondly. So, it goes without saying that I was extremely excited to learn that it was finally...

The Mortal Kombat games have long been arcade staples. Next to the Street Fighter series, there’s very few arcade brawlers that could hold a candle to Mortal Kombat. I suppose that’s why the gaming industry took notice when Midway announced that the fifth entry in the Mortal Kombat series was going to be a home console exclusive. And true to...
The Gin Blossoms are one of those bands that everyone has heard of, but not enough people pay attention to. Their major label debut, New Miserable Experience is one of my all-time favorite records. I know that I said the same thing about Blind Melon’s first album in my last Record Shop post. But, that doesn’t make it any less...

As an old school gamer, I’m a huge fan of the Original Adventures Reincarnated line by Goodman Games. I’ve reviewed the first four releases on this page before. But in case you’re unfamiliar it, the “OAR” project is an ongoing attempt to both preserve and modernize a number of classic D&D adventure modules. These releases typically include a reprint of...

Ever since I was a child I’ve been an avid reader. I enjoy all sorts of books; fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and oddly enough, biographies. There’s just something about hearing the inside scoop on someone that I’m interested in that appeals to me. That’s why when I learned that Reggie Fils-Amie’ was going to writing an autobiography I knew I had...
It is no secret that I’m a fiend for old school CRPGs. I grew up playing games like Wizardry and Ultima, so I’ve been a fan of the genre from its earliest days. But, as is the case for anyone who loves a particular type of game, you can’t play them all. So even though I considered myself to be...
Even though it’s only been out for a couple of days, I didn’t waste any time diving into the latest FFXIV update. If you’ve been following this game for a while, then you probably know what to expect when it comes to these sort of patches. But, this update is special because it does include a long awaited feature… the...
Chugging onward through my backlog, I’ve finally reached the next chapter in the Legacy of Kain series, Soul Reaver 2. To date, my opinion of the games in this series has been pretty varied. If I’m being honest, I didn’t care for Blood Omen, at all. The next game, Soul Reaver, fared a little better. But it still didn’t capture...
Wow! It’s been a few months since I’ve reviewed a coffee. This is because there just haven’t been any new coffee drops at my local grocery store. But with Fall on the horizon, the seasonal coffees are starting to roll out. This year, for whatever reason, Starbucks saw fit to include a Salted Caramel Mocha flavor with this year’s Autumn...
Today I’m going to take a look at the latest D&D release, Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel. This book, like a handful of other Fifth Edition D&D products, is a collection of small adventures. But unlike those other books, it can be argued that this release also serves as a new campaign setting as well. There’s thirteen adventure modules crammed...
