It's something of a formal fallacy in gaming: If some pen-and-paper game systems are too complex for some players, then physical representations of game components must make a game easy. Of course it's not entirely wrong. In a way, this is why miniatures exist, and why [theoretically] useful product...
In August 2025 in issue 515, White Dwarf magazine published a set of rules for a cooperative mode for Warhammer 40,000, inspired by the breakout hit Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 video game. I'm never one to bury the lede. Space Marine Operations is a great game. It's easily the best way...
One of my favourite games is Dungeoneer by Thomas Denmark and published by Atlas Games, partly because of its carefully crafted ruleset, and partly because of its mysterious lore. Dungeoneer is sold as card decks, but it's really a board game, with some cards serving as board tiles. I own all D...
I've been actively blogging since 2011 and a tech podcaster since 2006. That's basically 20 years of publishing content, of admittedly variable quality and esoterism, on the world-wide web and other online destinations (such as Gopher). This annual report looks at some trends and influences on w...

One of my favourite games is Dungeoneer by Thomas Denmark and published by Atlas Games. I own every Dungeoneer set released, and I'm reviewing them one by one. In this post, I'm looking at the characters in the Wrath of the Serpent Goddess set.

There are several named...

I miss magazines, and I say that knowing that there are still magazines being published. While there are a few gaming magazines today, there used to be far more of them, and yet I still couldn't get enough. On my lunch break at work, I used to walk over to a book store (this was back when there were...
One of my all-time favourite monsters is lizard people. They're classic villains, deceptive and insidious, deathly fatalistic, and they fit neatly into fantasy, modern settings, and sci-fi. For that reason, it's no surprise that when I was in the market for an alien army to add to my roleplaying and...
For many people, there was a singular gateway into the tabletop roleplaying hobby. Regardless of whether you started tabletop roleplaying games after playing a solo game book, a cRPG, as a graduation from board games, after watching live plays, or by being inducted into somebody's gaming group, it a...
Do you dread being caught diceless when someone unexpectedly proposes a game? Are business meetings fraught with anxiety for fear of a client suddenly asking you to teach them D&D, but then realising you didn't bring a d20? Is your home life suffering because you're accusing your loved ones of steal...
I love the game Dungeoneer by Thomas Denmark and published by Atlas Games back in 2005. Dungeoneer is sold as card decks, and I now own them all, so I'm reviewing them each. In this post, I'm looking at the characters of the Call of the Lich Lord set.
For background about the world of Call ...

Well I bought the Raumjager Infantry kit from Wargames Atlantic. They're soldiers with ill-fitting trousers and jackets, stunted guns, and awkward poses. This is my review of the product.
There's no easy way to say this, but I dislike this model kit. I bought it because I needed a bunch of raide...
One of my favourite games is Dungeoneer by Thomas Denmark and published by Atlas Games. Dungeoneer is sold as card decks, but it's really a board game. Some cards are board tiles, and others are monsters, items, and power-ups. I own 5 Dungeoneer decks, and I'm reviewing them each. In this post...
