Wizards of the Coast has been light on full-length campaigns for the current edition of Dungeons & Dragons, so Arcana Unleashed: Deadfall arrives with a lot of attention on it. It’s a high-level espionage adventure set in Thay, and it has real strengths. It also left me lukewarm. I would happily sit down and play it, but if you’re choosing a campaign for your table, I wouldn’t make this the go-to when there are stronger options out there.
I picked up Dungeon Crawler Carl expecting a fun palate cleanser between heavier reads. I did not expect to lose a weekend to it, and I certainly did not expect to get emotionally attached to a talking cat in a tiara.
Edgerunners 2 is full of style and big ideas, but the story didn’t land the way I wanted it to. It felt cheaper, and I kept comparing it to the first series and coming up short.
When a new Ravenloft book arrives for Dungeons & Dragons, there’s one question every player and DM asks first: is this the next Curse of Strahd? It’s an understandable reaction. Curse of Strahd is one of the most beloved adventures D&D has ever produced, and it casts a very long shadow over everything released since. So let me answer right away: no, Ravenloft: The Horrors Within is not another Curse of Strahd. It’s a different kind of book, and understanding that difference is the key to deciding whether it belongs on your shelf.
Today we get to unbox a set of custom master dice from the dice maker Cleric’s Components. With this set I have asked to have our new logo on the 20 face of the 20 sided die. The set comes pretty cleaned up but does require some additional sanding before going right into mold making.
Exploding Kittens is one of those quick and fun party games that so many people have discovered and enjoy. But if you are in the market to get the game now, there are many expansions to choose from. So which expansion “blows” our minds? Let’s find out.
Dungeons and Dragons currently sits in its 5.5th Edition. With this change over from Dungeons and Dragons 5 to 5.5 there have been changes to the way the releases. Today we are going to answer “What are the differences between 5th Edition and 5.5 Dungeons and Dragons?” and “What books do I need for Dungeons and Dragons 5.5 Edition?” We will also answer the question “Is it worth it to update my game to 5.5 Dungeons and Dragons from 5th Edition?”
Exploding Kittens with the release of the Netflix animated series released Exploding Kittens Good Vs Evil. This is another standalone expansion to the game.
Exploding Kittens has been around for awhile now. The game generally comes in base sets that can be played right out of the box. This edition specifically is the Not Safe for Work Edition of Exploding Kittens. It contains lude humor and imagery that may not be suitable for the office game night or with your children. Today we are unboxing it.
Talisman is one of the great love-it-or-hate-it board games. It’s a roll-and-move adventure where you pick a hero, wander a dangerous realm, and race to the Crown of Command in the center of the board, with a dice roll or a bad card ready to ruin your day at any moment. Avalon Hill’s 5th Edition is the first major refresh in years, and it makes a strong first impression. After playing it against the 4th Edition, though, I still reach for 4th Edition when I want a proper Talisman experience.
