Have you all seen that Ben Brode talk about designing Marvel Snap? Have you also seen that Prismatic Wasteland is doing that thing he does where he keeps telling people to...

This post contains mild spoilers regarding Pirate Borg's starting adventure, The Curse of Skeleton Point. Ahoy folks or something of the sort. I've been postponing this because...

This is not what I had planned for this week, but Tim B. decided to make a poll and I love polls. It was about "is this game NSR or OSR or neither", which means it was about...

This post contains spoilers for a 2003 videogame. Beware. For some reason, I decided to play Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time last week. It was one of my first GameCube...

This week on the NSR Discord (which my readers should have noticed by now is the place I spend the most time online when engaging with ttrpg stuff), I stumbled upon a really...

I made a joke slash shitpost slash argument some years ago that is very dear to me because, while I did create it mostly to laugh at my screen, I still believe there is some...

A couple months ago, I proposed to some friends that we start a fortnightly Cairn game, with 3-ish hour sessions. I'm generally used to games with more time in-between sessions...

I was reading the Fomoria quickstart by Tania Herrero last week and it's a vibe, looks lovely. If you like heavily-armored animal people and shades of red and orange you should...

I was playing that very fun mtg counterspell guessing game and thought that a lot of counterspells aren't really counterspells if you take their names literally. So I decided...

I'm pretty sure that I've mentioned before that when I started playing (GMing, to be more precise), I had never read a ttrpg book before. I had played a couple sessions of a...

I was writing some harsh criticism of Vaesen's maps but I decided not to be negative today and stashed it. Instead of complaining about the prep of Vaesens past I will ponder...

Love me a long title. It reminds me of writing "practice" scientific papers in high school and it makes me wonder if any of our teachers ever thought someone from over there...

Wishlist cleaning! For the unacquainted, Steam has a wishlist feature where you can put the games you want to buy, like a lot of digital storefronts. It also serves a nefarious...

As I mentioned in my year in review post1, I really want to reinterpret the Mythic Bastionland general game loop and procedure into a Weird West vibe. The whole thing with the...

I think some time around november last year, I was talking to some friends about how I stumbled upon that forum post where one of the authors of the original Ravenloft module...

One of my first ttrpg white whales was been Magic: The Gathering - and it lingers around my shores to these days. Before I even knew more than one ttrpg system, I was already...

I was thinking about writing an informative introduction where I highlight the prominence of the GM role and things like that. Unfortunately, I'm not going to dig through data...

I'm getting rid of all combat procedures in my games. I'm a bit tired of reading a game with something that really makes my eyes sparkle (a cool resolution system, evocative...

I'm going to do this post a bit differently from the ttrpg one. Due to the fact that I can play computer games without having to schedule them with three or more other working...

It's that time of the year I guess, let's talk about the games I've been playing. VaesenI started the year doing a monster-of-the-week style game with Vaesen in the D&D table...

I have this idea of making a Mörk Borg hack more suited to commonplace medieval fantasy adventuring, from old D&D modules to the more modern adventures and expansion books....

Baby's first blogwagon, I guess! Sam Seer decided to ask people with blogs about three games of importance to them, like if they were invited to speak on Chris McDowall's...

I was reading HiskiH's post regarding what they call the New Wave Of Fantasy and talking to them on the NSR Cauldron server about it, and I inevitably ended up on the same old...

Today's Prismatic Wasteland post reminded me that it's Mausritter Month! I would have felt very silly starting a blog on Mausritter Month and not making a post about such a...

Yay, I did it! Didn't miss a day and now I'll never ever do this again. When I started the blog last saturday, I thought about trying to write a post every single day during...

If I had a nickel for every time I read "I actually prefer the 'game' part of roleplaying games" somewhere online, I'd have quite a few nickels, which are completely useless...

I played Avatar Legends some time ago and although there were a lot of cool things about it, both mechanically and aesthetically, the game felt a bit too heavy on the rules for...

I really love Mörk Borg, but the weirdest part is that I really didn't think I'd love Mörk Borg. I'm not that into doom metal aesthetics, collage, dark medieval fantasy or the...

After my Heart: The City Beneath game last sunday I was once again thinking about the simplest form of resource management and attrition, aka the progress track. In computer...
