Icewind Dale: Rime Of The Frostmaiden Makes The Perfect Creepy Christmas Campaign

Dungeons & Dragons: How The Tabletop RPG Went Kid-Friendly
I was a kid the first time I was exposed to Dungeons & Dragons. Although, it might not be in the way you're thinking. It's certainly not the way most people were exposed to the tabletop RPG, which now has a pretty wholesome and even kid-friendly reputation. My...

Dungeons & Dragons: Lost Mine Of Phandelver – A Great Beginner Campaign
"The Lost Mine of Phandelver" is a great Dungeons & Dragons campaign for beginners. Don't believe me? It's included with the D&D Starter Set for a reason. It offers an interesting story, challenging (but not too hard) combat, and just enough hand-holding to be...
What PS5 Pre-Orders Taught Me About Friendship
Okay, so PlayStation 5 pre-orders were kind of a mess. But amidst all the chaos, confusion, excitement, and anger that came with PS5 pre-orders, I learned a valuable lesson about friendship. Cue the sappy, moral-at-the-end-of-the-story music here if you want. But I...

Dragon Quest X Artworks: The Art of Astoltia (Book Review)
Hey, I'm a sucker for art books. The last time I counted, I had something like fifty video game art books on my shelf--a good chunk of them from Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and Xeno games. And since I love art books so much, and since Dragon Quest is my favorite...

Fragments of a Forgotten Past: Why I Was Wrong About Dragon Quest VII
A little over a year ago, I played Dragon Quest VII for the first time. I found the 3DS version to be slow, so I started up the PS1 version (which was supposedly even slower) just to see if it grabbed me more. It didn't. In fact, I struggled with my entire time with...

Dragon Quest VII Art and Yuji Horii Interview
Recently, I purchased an official Dragon Quest VII guidebook from Viz. It's completely in Japanese (which I can't read), but it did feature an interview with Yuji Horii at the beginning. Unlike a lot of posts, where I talk about my thoughts on the games, this is just...
