The topic for today’s post may seem a bit odd for a gaming blog, but bear with me. I was getting ready to write my next post for this week’s theme of vampires—all...
Vampire: The Masquerade turned 35 on Sunday. So, I think I’ll dedicate this week here on the blog and on my social media channels, including my Facebook Page, Sunglar’s Musings, to the venerable...
A lot of tabletop RPG fans are also enjoying tabletop miniatures games – and vice versa. Unfortunately, the tabletop miniatures hobby is pretty expensive and time-consuming. I still remember when I played Warhammer...
Social media is often criticized for the problems it causes for society, and there are certainly many valid concerns. BUT it also has many positive aspects: it has allowed me to meet so...
I posted about this earlier this week on social media. June, in addition to Pride, is Myasthenia Gravis (MG) Awareness Month. I’ll get to what MG is in a moment, but let’s get...
I saw this list format posted by Angus Abranson on Facebook, and I originally thought I’d be able to complete it easily. It ended up taking a bit more thought than I expected....
Hello again, reader! Welcome back to my continuing series highlighting the art of incredibly talented Puerto Rican creators. This week I’m talking to Laura, aka Lala Mágica. I’ve known about Laura for a...
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,...
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....
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...
There’s going to be a massive tabletop presence at the Puerto Rico Comic Con (PRCC) this year, happening from April 3rd to the 5th at the Puerto Rico Convention Center. It figures this...
