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 ...
One of my favourite games is Dungeoneer by Thomas Denmark and published by Atlas Games. Dungeoneer is sold as card decks, but it's also a board game, with some of the cards in the deck serving as board tiles. I now own ALL Dungeoneer decks, and I'm reviewing them each. In this post, I'm lookin...
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...

In my Pathfinder Tomb of Annihiliation Pathfinder campaign, my players experienced (for better or for worse) the Tomb of the Nine Gods, a dungeon designed by the lich Acererak. This tomb was written as a modern version of Acererak's other tomb, the famous Tomb of Horrors. In my campaign, both tomb...
I build a lot of dungeons for the tabletop games I play. They're not always literal dungeons, but conceptually almost every map layout with enclosed spaces is a game dungeon. The game dungeon is a way to enforce passage through specific points on the map (usually a door), to conceal surprises hidden...
Caverns of the Spore Lord is an adventure from Kobold Press, and the first written for the Tales of the Valiant product. ToV is a 5e system, so it's directly compatible with other 5e implementations. It's a short adventure for level 1 adventurers, with just 17 pages of content not including appen...
I've been running a Tomb of Annihilation campaign for about a year now, and I can't honestly say it's been quite as nice as running a good module like Expedition to Castle Ravenloft or Rise of the Runelords. It's my fault, because Tomb of Annihilation is actually a sandbox. I understand the...
If you're used to D&D 5e but have [wisely] switched away from Wizards of the Coast, then you might be playing Pathfinder 2. And if you're the Game Master for a Pathfinder 2 campaign, then you might notice your players staying at level 1 for a lot longer than you're used to. D&D 5e and its unofficial...
Visually, you can never go wrong by adding a skull or two. I don't know what it is about the insides of our own heads, but for some reason we humans think fleshless cranial bones are pretty cool. I'm no exception, and in fact I've had a tattoo of a skull on my arm for years now. Skulls are iconic an...
Monsters attack ancient Rome! Can your legionaries defeat them? I've been playing Broken Legions by Mark Latham, published by Osprey Games, and that's pretty much the premise of the game. I picked up the book because I like alternate history, and also because this seemed like an excellent excuse t...
For me, the Blackstone Fortress and Cursed City releases of the Warhammer Quest boxed game from Games Workshop are practically perfect games. They're extremely replayable, but they're board games and are, appropriately, bound to their boards. They each tell a specific story. Blackstone Fortr...
