Dragon Quest Austin Is Back! (Kind Of)
I know it's been a long time since I've updated Dragon Quest Austin, and people still ask me about it from time to time, but this was originally meant to just be a chronicle of me playing every single DQ game in a single year. I did that, I started the Dragon Quest FM...

Dungeons & Dragons: How The Tabletop RPG Went Kid-Friendly

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)

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...
