After having played and run D&D 5th Edition for a couple of months I think it’s time to have a look on what worked and what didn’t work quite as well. Overall D&D...
Although I already own quite a few roleplaying games (I stopped counting a while ago), I am usually excited about at least one or two upcoming games. At the moment there are three...

This article is probably not 100% RPG-related but it’s about someone from our community. A couple of years back a blogger called Brian Pedersen aka Dane of War was quite active in the...
