I bought Crusade: Armageddon for Warhammer 40,000 10th edition. Having finally finished my Pariah Nexus campaign, I'm reading Armageddon chapter by chapter. This is my review of the first chapter, War without end.
I haven't played any of the missions yet, so this is just a review of the...
I surprised myself by genuinely enjoying the War of the Rohirrim movie. When Citadel miniatures released a 28mm miniature for Héra, daughter of Helm, I bought it as an addition to my Middle Earth army. This is my review of the kit.
The box actually includes 2 models. There's Héra mounted on As...
I played the What Lies Within DLC for Mansions of Madness, and this is my review of it. My short spoiler-free summary is that What Lies Within is an intriguing investigative adventure with a highly engaging story. This review contains no spoilers beyond the prologue.
One nice thing about Wh...
The concept of "terrain" in wargames, and many roleplaying games, includes not just the ground beneath a character's feet but also surrounding objects and structures. Setting up terrain for combat encounters is helpful to players because it defines what space they have to work with, and what physica...
I've written before about the joy of building RPG characters and the pleasure of a nice and easy pre-generated character. There's another way I interact with character building though, and it sort of sits between those two extremes. Sometimes I build a character based on a specific miniature in...
I backed Mantic's Epic Warpath wargame on Kickstarter and was so impressed by the impossibly tiny 12mm miniatures I got with it that I almost started regretting ever getting into 28mm miniatures. Crisis of preferred miniature scales aside, I was also intrigued by Mantic's Warpath universe. Unlike...
In 2025, Games Workshop released a War of the Rohirrim campaign book, as a special order only, for Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game. I enjoyed War of the Rohirrim a lot more than I'd expected to, and I still regret not buying the Quest of the Ring Bearer campaign book, so I ordered this cam...
I backed a recent Kickstarter by Loke Battle Mats for the Dungeon Reignited map books. I'm genuinely not sure what makes the dungeons reignited, nor why they needed reigniting. All I knew was that I'd purchased a Loke Battle Mat book in my local game store and have been so happy with it that I wan...
If you're a player in a roleplaying game, you're pretty happy when you get to add a number to your character's attribute or skill. Your character becomes [potentially] more powerful, which is nice because the fantasy of being infallibly good at something is one of the fun things about most roleplayi...
I watched the third and final episode of Penitence on Warhammer TV. It's a story about the Adepta Sororitas of the Order of the Sacred Rose, and this is my review of it. I'm avoiding spoilers, but it is Warhammer 40,000, after all, and in case you hadn't heard, it's the original grim dark settin...
Apparently a company called Rebellion Unplugged has purchased the name Tunnels & Trolls and is raising funds on Kickstarter for a brand new edition of the world's second-oldest tabletop RPG. As I recall, I was introduced to Tunnels & Trolls on a Free RPG Day back in 2007-ish, and quickly adopt...
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 watched the second episode in Penitence on Warhammer TV, a show about the Adepta Sororitas of the Order of the Sacred Rose. This is my review of it, with only minor spoilers, most of which we got from the early trailers of the show.
This episode starts where the previous one left off, with the...
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...
