Ahoy, friendos! March is here, and I’ve been busy reading, playing, and designing all sorts of neat stuff. One of which is the new 2024 Monster Manual for D&D 5e. I was lucky enough for WotC to send me a copy of the book (thank you, Wizards!), and after having it in...
Big Boys. Absolute Units. Heckin' Chonkers. Too big to contain to an article about just one game. There's just something so gratifying about characters that feel hefty. Not just giant-size characters, though the venn diagram between those concepts bears...

Sorairo Utility is available to stream on HiDive. Gotta love a hobby anime. Not just one that's “a rom-com about a pair of birdwatchers” or what have you. I could go to the Hallmark Channel for that around December and trip over three. I'm talking about...

This was a real up-and-down year for the games industry. There were some sweeping layoffs and surprise failures from big publishers. However, there were also a few triumphs and pleasant surprises worth celebrating. To highlight some of the bright spots in a tumultuous...
Key Takeaways1. Sci-fi exploration with no combat.2. Cozy vibes in a slow apocalypse.3. A lack of friction might keep you from getting hooked. Video games are built on violence. I’m not saying that like a worried congressman in the mid-90s. I don’t think that video...
The latest entry in Falcom's long-running Ys RPG series, Ys 10 Nordics, is finally here! I've only been able to scratch the surface of this grand adventure so far. Thus, a full review will come sometime later. However, at this point, I've played enough Ys 10 to answer...
