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...
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...
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...
It may surprise you, or perhaps horrify you, that I am a massive fan of musical theater. I grew up listening to musicals with my uncle Chechin (his real name is José Agustín,...
Hello friends! Welcome to 2026. This year marks a special occasion for me. This coming July will mark the 40th anniversary of the very first tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) session I played. My...
Stop me if you’ve heard (read really) say this before! I am a lucky gamer. I have been playing role-playing games for going on four decades. Our gaming group has been meeting every...
So, we come to the end of RPG a Day 2025. Allow me to get a little sentimental. I’ve been participating in RPG a Day for 11 years, and this process has been...
Surprise! Earlier in the month, I missed two days, and I quickly remedied the situation and posted the Day 9 post two days late. And now, 19 days late, here is the post...
Happy Monday! We begin the final week of RPG a Day 2025. This month has really flown by. I’m still missing one post for the month, specifically day 10, and I will get...
Day 19 of RPG a Day 2025, with the prompt of Destiny, led me down another strange rabbit hole. I began thinking about the concept of destiny, the Marvel Character Destiny, with her...
Hello readers, happy Monday. For day 18, the prompt is Sign. I mentioned on day 9 how Babylon 5 was an inspiration, and this prompt immediately makes a connection for me with an...
As far as RPG a Day 2025 goes, this has been a very musical year for me. So many prompts immediately make me think of music. The prompt for today is Darkness, and...
