A new Stars Without Number (SWN) supplement dropped five days ago, and I missed it! How could I? It’s not like any important event happened this past weekend around February 14th, or that...
Welcome back to my 40 Years a Gamer retrospective. In the last post, I looked at the first game I played. But today, I want to talk about the early years of playing...
I just saw that Far West Redux is live on BackerKit, and it hit me with a wave of nostalgia. I was a backer of the original Kickstarter way back in 2011. If you know...
I’ve been interested in the history of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) in Puerto Rico for a long time. Back in 2017, I started an initiative to track down exactly how Dungeons & Dragons...
Nostalgia. We’ve been riding that wave for a while now. While I have certainly been guilty of buying into it, there is an argument to be made that if we are always revisiting...
Rise from Your Grave! Geeknic 29 is Back from the Dead Klaatu… Barada… GEEKNIC! It has been too long, but the stars have finally aligned (and we remembered the exact words this time)....
In Part 1, I talked about my love for Worlds Without Number and how it scratches that specific itch for fantasy d20 gaming. But what about everything else? What about pulp sci-fi, weird...
If you follow my Sunglar’s Musings Facebook page description, you might have noticed I mention reviews there. Well, it is time to deliver. I am writing this post here and a similar (Facebook-friendly)...
Preamble: This post is closely tied to a post I wrote during RPG a Day this year, for day 21, Unexpected. It inspired me to dig deeper into adventures I’ve run as a...
Hello friends! Welcome back. Continuing my celebration of 40 years in this hobby, today I want to move from the “proto-history” I wrote about in my last post to the actual history. The...
As 2025 draws to a close and I take stock of the past year, I feel this year has been challenging. Nationally, internationally, the world feels on the brink of dark times. I...
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...
Next to last post for RPG a Day 2025, and the prompt for today is Experience. So, allow me to discuss the experience mechanic in role-playing games, albeit somewhat incoherently, just some random...
Suspense can be particularly challenging to convey effectively in a tabletop RPG. It requires the right mix of player buy-in, effective GM presentation, and a collaboration between all parties. Today’s topic for RPG...
Day 26 of RPG a Day 2025 proposes Nemesis as the topic. And all I can say is: Cobra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! The first thing that came to mind...
Saturday is here, and so is another post for RPG a Day, day 23 this time, the prompt Recent. What recent games have I purchased? I have probably bought fewer RPGs in 2025,...
As I was preparing to write today’s post for RPG a Day 2025, a friend shared with me a video by a pair of Puerto Rican reactionary intolerant grognards, repeating tired clichés, “this...
