Kingdom: Involvement
Or, “You’re Magic, You Are”

The Old School, Smiting It Hip and Thigh
I have mixed feelings about the Old School.
I’m talking about the movement to return to earlier versions of D&D. I’ve long been interested in older versions of games, particularly elements that fall by the wayside as design trends change.…
Four Tabletop RPG Licenses That Should Have FPS Games – and Four Insights from Those Choices
I’ve always felt more immersed playing Master Chief than any CRPG character. The twitch factor and first person perspective feels enough like physicality to make me feel like I’m him. I even have moments of existential wonderment when a Brute’s…

It’s simple. Here are five things I think have been overdone and five that deserve another go.
- Played Out: The Cthulhu Mythos
