I haven't played any of the missions yet, so this is just a review of the...

I backed the Labyrinth setting for Tales of the Valiant from Kobold Press on Kickstarter. Along with the worldbook and the campaign book, I purchased the supplemental game material by Beadle & Grimm. I'd heard of Beadle & Grimm when they were doing bespoke kits for popular D&D 5e modules, and I...

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 played the Dearly Departed scenario for Mansions of Madness, and this is my review of it. My short spoiler-free summary is that Dearly Departed is a fun but difficult scenario with a focus on relentless combat. For the rest of this review, there are minor plot spoilers, so don't read on if y...
Assume there are two approaches to game delivery: Books and boxes. Actually there are other methods but these two methods of defining a game, which somebody can buy off of a shelf, encapsulate a good portion of the market. The difference is that a book is just text, and a box has everything in the b...
Coming as I do from the world of RPG, I'm used to a long-lasting core game release, with several playable modules published each year. After I started playing Warhammer 40,000, I was pleased to learn that Games Workshop provides a similar structure. Over the lifecycle of each edition (which is arg...
Imperium Maledictum is a skill-based d100 roleplaying game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. I purchased the PDF from Drivethrurpg and enjoyed it so thoroughly that I special ordered the hardcover (I even had to import it from the UK). This is my review of the book and the game system.
Cu...
