I didn't really plan for a theme to emerge this week, but today I'm taking a look at the Cthulhu Awakens scenario, Brinkmanship, a Cold War story with Mythos weird science complications. #CthulhuAwakens #AGESystem #RPGs #TTRPGs

Today we’re going to look at a scenario where the player characters are working for a government agency investigating clandestine Cthulhu Mythos activity. The scenario isn’t set during the modern era, giving a glimpse into the world in a different era. Wait, no, come back, I didn’t accidentally post the same review two days in a row. It just happened to finish up two adventures that have similar…

We're going to revisit pulp WWII action on the blog today, looking at the most recent Achtung!Cthulhu Mission, Operation Oberon, which takes the agents to Shanghai. #TTRPGs #Achtung!Cthulhu

It’s been a while since we visited the alternate World War II of Achtung! Cthulhu, and I had the chance to read a new adventure, so let revisit, shall we? If you haven’t seen the game yourself, or you haven’t read any of my reviews of the game, Achtung! Cthulhu is a game set in World War II, where the PCs are special operatives attempting to thwart Nazi occultists using the forbidden supernatural…

Jesus Told Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan because Satan was trying to use Peter to Hinder Jesus, to Stop Jesus… It is Essential to Understand a Person is Either Benefiting Jesus or they are Benefiting Satan. A Christian, anyone, is Either Promoting Jesus or Satan. There is Nothing in between. Every Christian should automatically realize this when they are told this. If You do not understand…

It's time to bring this review of Quests from the Infinite Staircase to a close, as we look at gear and creatures, and then bring it all together for the whole anthology. #DnD5e 5eSRD

We’re finally going to bring this review home, before any more catastrophic events happen to distract me. I hope life doesn’t get this exciting the next time I do a multi-part review. In case you’re reading this in the future, since I got access to this book, we’ve an attempted assassination on a presidential candidate, a massive web services failure, and a standing president step down for…

I finally managed to get back to this book! I may actually finish this review! Today we're looking at the famous Expedition to the Barrier Peaks adaptation, the second 5e adaptation to see publication. #DnD5e #5eSRD

The final adventure in Quests from the Infinite Staircase is the legendary Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. I have read this adventure! Not only have I read this one, I did a review for the Goodman Games OAR3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks conversion/commemorative release. Expedition to the Barrier Peaks is another tournament adventure. PCs show up at the dungeon and it seals them in for 20…

Back on track after an . . . interesting . . . weekend. This time we're going to look at the 5e conversion of Beyond the Crystal Cave, as we continue to look at Quests from the Infinite Staircase #DnD5e #TTRPGs #5eSRD

Continuing with adventures I, personally, hadn’t read through from previous editions, and also continuing our trend of looking at the UK series of adventures, our next adventure is Beyond the Crystal Cave. While the plot doesn’t directly follow any one story, there are some elements in this adventure borrowed from Shakespear, most notably with the NPCs the group is hired to find, with their…

I've wandered my way back out of the Lost City with the next part of my Quests from the Infinite Staircase review. Join me for a look at Zargons through the years. #DnD5e #5eSRD

This anthology is interesting in that these aren’t brand-new adventures, so they bring with them some expectation of consistency with the original adventures. While we know that WotC is looking for potentially problematic content to address, the adventure itself carries an expectation of unfolding the same way that the original did. While looking at this chapter, I pulled out my handy copy of…

Today we're going to take a look at the most recent adventure from Lazy Wolf Studios, for the Thrones and Bone setting, using the Black Flag ORC rules.

Given what we’re looking at today, it’s probably a good time to add this disclaimer. I love Norse myths and folklore. I love stories of giants and dwarves and weird, curse spewing, serpentine dragons. I love the idea that symbols have power, and that dovetails nicely with runes and runic magic. I’m also a white guy of Germanic heritage. I say all of that in prelude to this: white supremacists can…
