As we approach the next iteration of Dungeons & Dragons, more and more players are starting to ask themselves a very important question: Do I stick with D&D or switch to something else? Once upon a time, such a question was silly. Yes, there’s always been a number of tabletop roleplaying games to choose from. But the majority of them...
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of campaign settings. While it’s true that I spend most of my time in the Forgotten Realms, I do have grandiose plans to one day create my own gameworld. For this reason, I’m always certain to pick up and explore any new campaign settings that hit the market. For this reason, when I...
This is a D&D product review that I’ve been putting off for some time. The reason for my delay is simple, when this new D&D Starter Set was released last autumn, it was supposed to signify a shift in tone for the hobby. What I mean by that is this, WotC had already announced the next version of D&D. They...
Let’s cut right to the chase, the book I’m going to talk about today focuses on a subject that’s become rather taboo in our hobby; devils and demons. The book in question is The Book of Fiends. For me, one of the most fascinating concepts in all of Dungeons & Dragons is the mythical war between the powers of good...

One the latest trends WotC has been participating in lately is the publishing of adventure collections. This started a while back with Tales from the Yawning Portal and has continued most recently with Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel. With this in mind, it should be no surprise that the latest release for fifth edition D&D is another collection of adventure modules....
Now that I’m finally caught up on all of the official (and even the semi-official) D&D releases, I can finally jump back into the wonderful world of third-party supplements. To date, the only third-party D&D releases I’ve really discussed have been a handful of monster books by Kobold Press and the two Tal’dorei campaign settings. But there’s so much more...

I suppose if I had to pick a D&D adventure to discuss for Halloween, I couldn’t do much better than the legendary Temple of Elemental Evil. Of all the classic D&D modules I played when I was young, this is the one that I’ve carried around in my head more than any other. Everything an old grognard like me loves...

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...

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...

It’s no secret that I love classic D&D. And, for what it’s worth, I think Goodman Games’ line of Original Adventures Reincarnated is some of the best content available for fifth edition. To date, I’ve discussed the first three releases in this line and each one has been an absolute masterpiece. Today, I’m going to take a look at the fourth...
