Identified flying objects—Starfinder Alien Archive Review

The Alien Archive is more than just a monster manual for Starfinder. I mean both a literal and philosophical sense. As a book, it expands beyond a listing of aliens for your parties to engage with. It also works hard to make a case for Starfinder’s design philosophy, and

A peek behind the curtain–Adventures in Middle-earth Loremaster’s Guide review

Adventures in Middle-earth was an ambitious and risky prospect, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how well Cubicle 7 blended Tolkien’s style into the 5E mechanics. The only area where the player’s guide needed some support was in tools to help run the game, and for that

Onyx Path Publishing at PAX Unplugged–creator owned games will be a new focus

Onyx Path has spent the last few years shepherding and redefining the World of Darkness franchise, and has finally been able to stabilize enough to explore other avenues. I spoke with company founder Richard Thomas about the frustrating past and bright future of the Onyx Path. Yes, rising from the

One game to bring them all: Adventures in Middle-earth player’s guide review

Adventures in Middle-earth is more than a game. It is a reunion of two franchises that in many ways directly created the modern conception of fantasy wholecloth. Whatever Gygax may have said about the matter, Tolkien’s influence on him was clear, yet in the decades that passed since Chainmail
