Learning is hard work, and nobody likes work. That means no matter how easy it is to learn Bash, the language of the Linux terminal, it still might feel like work to you.
Unless, of course, you learn through gaming.
You wouldn't think there would be many games out there to teach you how to use...

I've been watching the Hammer and Bolter animated series on Warhammer+, and I'm reviewing each episode as I watch it. There may be very minor spoilers, but ideally no more than you'd get from the episode description.

The 4th edition of D&D by Wizards of the Coast abandoned the Open Game License (OGL), which essentially locked many third party publishers out of publishing material for it. So that it (and other third parties) could continue publishing D&D content, longtime Dungeon and Dragon and Polyhedron m...

I'm rewatching every episode of the Man from UNCLE series from start to finish. This review may contain spoilers.
I'm reviewing the episodes The Adriatic Express Affair and The Yukon Affair in one post because, to be perfectly honest, neither really justify a dedicated review.

Since the 3rd edition (or what we now call Pathfinder) of D&D, the mathematical process of the world's most popular roleplaying game has been the same. You roll a d20 to establish a base level of success, and then you boost that chance of success by adding points you've earned during character cre...
If you think of Warhammer as just a series of video games...or a series of science fiction books, or as a series of miniature toy soldiers to paint, or as a series of board games, or as a war game...then you might be surprised to learn that it's also a tabletop roleplaying game.
