Everyone is talking about the new edition of D&D right now. But as usual not everyone is happy about a new edition. But isn’t a new edition a good thing? It shows that...

Recently I picked up the new hardcover version of Lamentation of the Flame Princess’ Rules and Magic book. Even though I have read the rules several times over the last few years, I...
During the last months I’ve been throwing a couple of ideas around what I could run next. At the moment I still have a XCOM-inspired game and a Fallout game to finish. Both...
A Sunday post, “Inconceivable!”, to quote a certain Sicilian of movie fame. I’ve put this post together for the very special occasion today, the 40th anniversary of the publication of Dungeons & Dragons....
When I first encountered roleplaying games in the early 1990s, the hobby was already about 20 years old. The first games I’ve played were Games Workshop’s Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 1st Edition, West End...
I’ve blogged at length about Puerto Rico Role Players, a local group of role-playing game enthusiasts dedicated to promoting tabletop RPG games in Puerto Rico. Besides running demos a cons, something that’s become...
Some of you may remember the column “Ask The Stargazer” that I introduced back in 2011. I posted a couple of replies to your questions since then, but for various reasons the column...

There’s another Kickstarter project that grabbed my attention. Autarch is currently raising money to fund an expansion to the very intriguing Adventurer Conqueror King System. I picked up the core book a while...
Some time ago we reported about Rule of Cool Gaming’s Legend RPG. In the meantime over 20,000 copies have been downloaded, which is quite an achievement. And since all the proceeds from the...
I don’t play any recent edition of D&D right now and I am pretty skeptical about the upcoming next edition. You could come to believe I couldn’t care less about what Wizards of...
I think I have talked about Chris McDowall’s Into the Odd on Stargazer’s World already. It’s a very cool fantasy game with horror and sci-fi elements that is reminiscent of OD&D. But instead...
This morning I stumbled upon “Adventurer Conqueror King” on RPGNow. It’s a roleplaying game based on OD&D and using the OGL that has a focus on what I would call the “endgame”. The...
I have to admit that I was totally oblivious to WotC’s big announcement (which was first published by the NY Times) until my team member Youseph told me about it. But I don’t...
