Tabletop Roleplaying Games, or TTRPGs, are meant by and large to be social affairs. A group generally consisting of a Game-Master and at least a few players, gather in person or online to play this style of game. That’s the way these games were designed to be played. That said, this is not the only way to play TTRPGs. For example, games like “Lovecraftesque” do not have a single Game-Master. The…

So I’ve been doing a roleplaying playthrough of “Starfield” on YouTube for a month or so now, and have been really enjoying it. But recently I picked up another RPG, and remembered just how much I used to love it, so it got me thinking: Should I do a roleplaying playthrough of “Avowed”? Obviously this would be in addition to and alongside the “Spaceman Griff – Across the Cosmos!” series I’m…

Tomorrow, June 27th, 2026, is Free RPG Day 2026 (unless you’re in the UK, where it has been delayed to a future date due to shipping issues). Most brick-and-mortar game stores will be taking part in this event, but check the website to find a local store that is participating in the festivities. Now, with all those caveats aside, what exactly is going on for Free RPG Day 2026? Well, it looks…

So I have been playing “Starfield” since the very beginning, back in September of 2023. Yes, this was on my Xbox Series X, which I bought specifically to play “Starfield”, as it was a much cheaper option than buying or building a PC at that time. To be fair, the XSX is still a cheaper option than buying a PC, but I did just that earlier this year. Anyway, I’ve been playing “Starfield” for the…

Recently I have been pondering tabletop roleplaying game mechanics, especially one simple question: When should one take an action? Well, that really depends on the game, frankly. Crunchier games with lots of tactical rules tend to want players taking actions – usually rolling dice to determine whether or not they succeeded – quite a lot. Personally, I’m not much of a fan of that. When there is…

So y’all might know that I’m a bit of an Xbox Fanboy. Just a little bit, nothing major… But yeah, I’m Team Green all the way, ever since I bought my Xbox Series X back in August 2023. Anyway, that’s neither here nor there. Now then, my XSX works just fine, but I’ve been thinking of upgrading to a newer, better model, should the opportunity (and money) appear to me. Mine only has 512GB of…

It’s entirely possible that you haven’t noticed this as of yet, but I’ve been a busy little beaver, when it comes to YouTube. A few weeks back I started a new character in “Starfield”, and began recording his exploits for YouTube, roleplaying as I went along. It’s a rather stupid little weekly series, but I’ve been having fun with it, especially since – unlike other times I’ve tried something…

So I just have to discuss something today, that frankly has me a little… confused. “Lord of the Rings Online” is an MMORPG that has been running for a very long time, since 2007. While it still has its fans, LOTRO has pretty much seen its days in the sun pass long ago, although to be fair Daybreak continues to develop new content for the game. This is an elder MMO, no doubt about it. So why is…
