Chrome in RPGs is nothing new. As you can see in the below article, back in 2014 it was heavily on my radar as something that overly irritated me. How do I feel two years later? Well, about the same. There is good chrome and there is bad chrome. I am of the belief that…

Cthulhu Mythos Comes to Pathfinder RPG
Now this is interesting. Just launched on Kickstarter, Sandy Petersen is producing a Cthulhu Mythos book for the Pathfinder RPG. While I am not a fan of Pathfinder, I do wholeheartedly support anything mythos themed and especially anything written by Sandy. So, if you like the mythos and Pathfinder RPG, this is one project you…

Interview – The “Chief Bottle Washer” of RPG Geek, Dave Bernazzani
Every other Sunday I game with the Chief Bottle Washer of RPG Geek, Dave Bernazzani, in his Sunday Mornings in Hell, Labyrinth Lord game. Last year I also volunteered to help organize VirtuaCon and I got to know Dave, the person and not just Dave, the admin. I also got the chance to see a little…

RPG Diversity at Conventions, is it Really that Difficult?
RPG diversity at conventions, is it really that hard to put together a diverse schedule? Why do certain games/system dominate the game schedules at nearby conventions. Here Pathfinder Society (PFS) is ever present in my region (Southeast), which in and of itself is not wholly a bad thing. In fact PFS and other organized play…
I Hate the Smell of Fluff in the Morning
Originally published in August of 2014, the conversation that was held then is still relevant today. There are some game products, specifically in the realm of RPGs that inundate readers with setting fluff to the point of supersaturation. Don’t get me wrong, having some setting material to place game mechanics in context, is absolutely perfect,…
A Struggle to Expose Gamers to New Games
Over the past few months I have been working hard to trade off or sell those games and books that I no longer wanted or would ever need again. My latest game and book acquisition go a long way into reshaping not only my collection, but also my gaming interests. To that end, I am…
Hate the Game and Not the Gamer
Why do gamers feel the need to bash someone on a personal level or at a minimum label them for not liking the same games they do? I have been thinking about this lately and it seems to me that there is a lot crap slinging directed at people and not at the games. Earlier…
