I'm always looking for battle maps for my RPG sessions. I feel like I end up using dry erase markers on a blank grid most of the time, but when possible I do love a good photo-realistic map. It's a futile effort, of course, because even when I purchase maps specific to a campaign my gaming group e...
In the previous chapter of Amageddon Crusade: The Red Angel's Gate, we were introduced to the major players of the latest in a history of conflict on the planet of Armageddon. The greatest threat of all, it seemed, was the Red Angel's Gate, a hole in reality and blatant invitation for the arrival...
I bought Crusade: Armageddon for Warhammer 40,000 10th edition. Having finally finished my Pariah Nexus campaign, I'm reading Armageddon chapter by chapter. This is my review of the first chapter, War without end.

One nice thing about Wh...
I backed the Labyrinth setting for Tales of the Valiant from Kobold Press on Kickstarter. Along with the worldbook and the campaign book, I purchased the supplemental game material by Beadle & Grimm. I'd heard of Beadle & Grimm when they were doing bespoke kits for popular D&D 5e modules, and I...
How many times can one band of misfit heroes save the galaxy? How many times can the fate of the very universe be threatened? These are questions that every fan of science fiction and fantasy eventually must face, because in most speculative fiction series the stakes are always increasing. Defeat a...
The concept of "terrain" in wargames, and many roleplaying games, includes not just the ground beneath a character's feet but also surrounding objects and structures.
