Sometimes dreams do come true. When I first got Liber Mechanicum for Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness, I was most intrigued by the entry for the Arcuitor Magisterium. Many units in Horus Heresy don't have official models, which is refreshing on one hand because it means you get to use your imaginat...
This is my review of chapter 8: Monsters of the Labyrinth of Kobold Press's Labyrinth Worldbook, a planar setting for Tales of the Valiant (or any DnD 5e variant). As with spells and gods, it's hard to go wrong with a chapter full of monsters, and this chapter does not disappoint. Better yet,...
The Labyrinth Worldbook is Kobold Press's planar setting for Tales of the Valiant or any DnD 5e variant. This is my review of chapter 7: Running Labyrinth Campaigns. There's some very good stuff in this chapter, and not a bit of it belongs in the seventh chapter or in a chapter called Running...
I love a good battle mat, with nice evocative artwork that tells a story all its own, while making it seem like you've got a top-down view of the world. I own several battle mats, in various forms, but the one thing I've been looking for is an all-purpose dungeon map I can use in one-shot games or i...
The Labyrinth Worldbook is Kobold Press's planar setting for Tales of the Valiant or any DnD 5e variant. This is my review of chapter 6: Pantheon of the Labyrinth.
Like magic, I personally don't think you can ever have too many gods in a fantasy setting. I was always fascinated by mythology...
The Labyrinth Worldbook by Kobold Press is a source book for Tales of the Valiant or any DnD 5e variant. This is my review of chapter 5: Magic, Spells, and Mysteries.
The first section of the chapter adds a bunch of vehicles to the game. That seems out of place, and I don't know why they did...
The Labyrinth Worldbook by Kobold Press is a source book for Tales of the Valiant or any DnD 5e variant. This is my review of chapter 4: Heroes of the Labyrinth. It's the player options chapter.
As I write this, I'm just starting up a Labyrinth Adventures campaign with one of my gaming gro...
The Labyrinth Worldbook by Kobold Press is a source book for Tales of the Valiant or any DnD 5e variant. This is my review of chapter 3: Factions of the Labyrinth.
First, let's talk about the Loxodon in the room. When Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica was released for 5th edition D&D, it acci...
The Labyrinth Worldbook is a source book by Kobold Press for Tales of the Valiant or any DnD 5e variant. This is my review of chapter 2: Worlds of the Labyrinth.
Chapter 2 contains information about the major "worlds" of the Labyrinth, including the hub city known as The Smithy. Well, the na...
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...
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...
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...
