Let me start by saying that I blame Michael (aka the Stargazer) for this! He recently started writing about the original Alternity game here and here, and it made me so nostalgic that...
I began playing D&D during the heyday of the artists known as the “Four Horsemen” of TSR—Elmore, Easley, Caldwell, and Parkinson—which I discussed in my previous post on the artists who inspired my TTRPG gaming. However,...
As I’ve wrote in one of my recent posts I am currently rereading all of my Alternity books. Alternity is a roleplaying game I’ve wanted to run since I first bought it but...
It’s May 4th, Star Wars Day! “May 4th be with you” and all that. Today, I wanted to reminisce about Star Wars TTRPG gaming as part of my 40 Years a Gamer retrospective....
Welcome to the third entry in my ongoing series highlighting incredible Boricua creators! Today, I’m thrilled to share my interview with Karla Miranda. I first became aware of Karla’s work through her posts...
“Mayday! Mayday! This is Free Trader Beowulf! Calling anyone! Our ship has suffered a catastrophic systems failure and is drifting in space. We are in grave and imminent danger!” Today is May 1st,...
Today’s post is a fortuitous confluence of two topics I’ve been writing about recently: comics as TTRPG inspiration and talented Puerto Rican creators. Gambit is a friend. I don’t recall exactly when we...
Back in 2010 (wow, has it been 16 years already?) I released a little game called Warrior, Rogue & Mage. It had some modest success and quite a few people have high regards...
In my early years as a gamer, four artists truly defined my conception of D&D and tabletop fantasy art: Larry Elmore, Jeff Easley, Clyde Caldwell, and Keith Parkinson. I first recall them being...
A few weeks ago, I published an interview with Eliana Falcón-Dvorsky, a local Puerto Rican artist who created a TTRPG supplement for her homebrew campaign world. Her work will be available for sale...
Just when I thought I had uncovered all the hidden gems from my recent deep dive into 70s sword-and-sorcery comics, I stumbled across another one that I knew absolutely nothing about: Dagar the...
Even though I am not actively running any games at the moment, I am still excited in the hobby and regularly check out new games (at least to me) or revisit games I...
The AI-generated image I used to illustrate this post is pretty much the feeling I am in all the time. Since I started running games as a GM so many years ago, I...
After looking at two artists I discovered in the early 90s—between what I had termed the Early-Years and the Middle-Years—let’s travel back to the Proto-History. Let’s look at the art that inspired me...
Chris Achilleos is another artist I discovered while working at Metro Comics. Two years before Mike Ploog’s trading card collection, which I mentioned in my previous post, the same company, FPG, published the...
My recent deep dives into comics led me to explore other fantasy and sword-and-sorcery books I’d either missed or forgotten about over the years. That winding path eventually led me to Weirdworld, a...
When I recently shared that image of classic DC Comics sword-and-sorcery characters as great TTRPG inspiration on my Facebook Page (see the featured image above!), I honestly didn’t expect to fall down such...
For someone who posts primarily about tabletop role-playing games, I certainly have been talking a lot about comics lately. Indulge me again, because this one is directly related to the hobby. Today, I...
Back in July 2010, I wrote a post right here on Stargazer’s World about how comic books were a parallel passion of mine and how deeply they influenced my role-playing games. As I’ve...
As part of the excitement for the upcoming Puerto Rico Comic Con, which I posted about yesterday, and all the gaming goodness that is happening there, I learned of a project for a...
