Can you believe The Thing is 35 years old and there hasn’t been a tabletop RPG game based on it? It’s even more of a missed opportunity when you think of the fact that it was based on The Thing from Another World, which came out back in the 50’s and was inspired by a […]
A few years ago, I was on the Geek and Sundry channel on YouTube. There was a video from their Twitch from a week prior. I checked it out and I’m glad I did because the show, Critical Role, is hands down my favorite show on any media. I was a huge Buffy fan back […]
The Dark Eye is the most successful RPG in Germany, where it goes by the name Das Schwarze Auge. It was created by the German RPG company Ulisses-Spiele, and they’re now expanding The Dark Eye with Warring Kingdoms, a robust add-on that will include a new sourcebook, a map set, a new card pack and […]

Cthulhu, Mutant Chronicles, Conan, Infinity and John Carter of Mars roleplaying games and now they’re Trekking it up with the first RPG to use the license in a decade.

The story of Joan of Arc has captivated storytellers for centuries because it almost sounds too wild to be real. Recent adaptions have taken that element further by “enhancing” the historical events with explicitly supernatural elements. Sony’s Jeanne D’Arc, released in 2007 for the PSP, was a strategy game based on the Hundred Years’ War […]
Wizards of the Coast, the current guardians of the Dungeons and Dragons brand, has resisted “modernizing” the mechanics of the game for a long time. A phone app could make all the rules, mathematics and inventory organization easier to manage, but the only apps out there were unofficial creations by third parties. Until today! Wizards […]
Anyone who has gone to a social gathering advertised on Meetup has run into Cards Against Humanity — a tabletop party game best described as a raunchier version of Apples To Apples. The shadowy organization behind the original has now introduced a new version, and I can’t do it justice better than they can: Everyone […]
So you’ve got a group together, someone has stepped up as DM and you’ve run some sessions. People have played some different things, have an idea of who they want to be in-game. Everybody is psyched and ready to go. So what’s next? Well, long term games are referred to as campaigns. They span multiple […]
Total Recall is being made into a tabletop game. We mean the blockbuster mind-screw from 1990 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, not the tepid remake that came out…sometime (it was so forgettable we don’t even remember the year). It would be cool if the object of this game was to figure out if you’re in a dream […]
The Legend of Korra featured a professional sports bending league where players would meet in an arena and battle 3-on-3 using their elemental powers against each other. It’s taken this long for something from the Avatar-verse to be turned into a tabletop game….why not start with the most obvious choice? Soon you too will be […]
An old classic has received a new revamp in the new Dungeons and Dragons module from Wizards of the Coast. The Tomb of Horrors was one of the more challenging dungeons Gary Gygax created while he was still around to create them. D&D’s latest module, Tomb of Annihilation, brings the area back in a new […]
Magic: The Gathering is one of the most popular card games in the world, boasting a userbase of over 20 million players across 70 countries. Attempts at game-ifying the franchise have been rare, but nothing on the scale of what Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios announced today: a Magic MMORPG. We’re not talking some […]
