    What game are you currently playing?

    I'll always have a soft spot for the first Fallout, mainly cause it served as a life lesson for a younger me. I spent hours, and I mean HOURS, one day in middle school figuring out how to get it to run on Windows 7 from an original disk. Troubleshooting, scouring the internet, all that good...

    You decide! We can contribute a minor NPC or item to the upcoming chapter of The Blades of Netheril

    Not gonna lie, I thought of a rhyme and ran with it. "The Tavern's Walking Stick" "It was at the Tavern that they welcomed thee, and, if need be, with this staff that they dealt with ye." Weapon: Quarterstaff Damage: 1d6 + 1 Criticals: x2 Type: Blugeoning Strength: +1 Charisma: +1 Once/day...

    What's the last game you've finished?

    The Blackwell Legacy! An old-school point-and-click made in... 2006? That was pretty much what made me want to play it, cause the mid-2000s decidedly weren't a fertile time for the adventure game genre. Overall? Pretty good. Technically dated but more than worth the time. Found it interesting...

    Recently discovered Dungeon Synth, desperately wondering where it's been my entire life.

    Industry News / Upcoming Games

    Don't know if it's been mentioned, but some of the old silver box games, which have been conspicuously absent from places like GOG and Steam (especially since the gold box titles were released ages ago), are finally getting a release later this month...

    Talking about Siege of Shadowdale

    Hey all, Recently made a video about the Siege of Shadowdale rerelease for Neverwinter Nights that came out a few months ago. A classic module made even better!

    D&D's new Open Gaming License

    Not to be "that guy", but I studied public relations in college. The fact that that paragraph made it past brainstorming, let alone drafting, writing, revising and rewriting, is hysterical. Also, whoever approved it should be fired. In other news, a phenomenal exercise in saying nothing:

    D&D's new Open Gaming License

    Wow. Safe to say I never expected to see a day in my life where a publisher canceled a contract with DnD. Also, I stopped into Critical Role tonight. They still had their D&D Beyond sponsor. The response was as expected (and deserved).

    D&D's new Open Gaming License

    For as much of a mess as all of this is, the silence from literally anyone that could probably actually give WoTC/Hasbro pause (Critical Role, one of the celebrity ambassadors such as Joe Manganiello, hell, even Larian could probably make quite the statement if they wanted) is disappointing, if...

    The Music Thread

    As far as what I can play? Bass. (Though, I've been torturing the skins on my drums in recent weeks). As for what I can't: Piano. Just simply a beautiful instrument.

    Icewind Dale II

    Stoneskin or not, 10 AC in an Ironman is the definition of ballsy. I applaud you, sir!

    Icewind Dale II

    I think the main reason that IW2 (and the other old IE games) don't work well on newer systems is cause many of the old drivers were removed from either Windows 8 or 10. Ironically, you could install and play the classics with basically no issue on Windows 7. Mind you, those drivers are...

    Hope everyone who celebrates is having a wonderful Thanksgiving. My family is actually getting together tomorrow, just works better for everyone involved. As such, I'm taking it easy after a furious few days. I'm an unabashed fan of David Coverdale (even if the lyrical content of basically...

    Icewind Dale II

    I earnestly came to despise that character. Just did absolutely nothing. I'll never understand the hype. Maybe the kits in the EE games are better.

    Icewind Dale II

    Hey all, I recently made a video about Icewind Dale 2. Ton of fun (even if life did everything it could to delay the release)! As much as I love the Enhanced Edition mod, we really need an official release. Someone's gotta find that code.

    What game are you currently playing?

    Icewind Dale 2! Way better than I remember it as someone that isn't a huge fan of 3/3.5. Came away from it enjoying it more than Neverwinter Nights. The Enhanced Edition mod is quite fun, a lot of the changes are very welcome.

    An article I wrote about different D&D Editions.

    I think it's going to be very interesting to see how 5E plays out in digital. The reality is that combat in 5E is pretty simple in comparison to basically every edition before it, especially in the way it was turned into a singular turn-per-character (i.e. no speed factors or anything like...

    An article I wrote about different D&D Editions.

    Hey all, I've been writing article accompaniments to many of my videos over the past few weeks and figured that I would share one of them here. Got asked a pretty interesting question by a commenter about what I thought about the different editions of D&D and really wanted to elaborate on it...
