I mean, after all, what are the odds of finding two games with all those […]
Author – James Chip (@james_chip_rpg) Where to Buy – https://jameschip.itch.io/light I have always wanted to be a lighthouse keeper. Alone, surrounded by the sea, wrapped in a thick wool sweater. Perfection. But nooooOOooo! Someone had to go and automate all the lighthouses in the US. Jerks. What am I going to do with all these […]
November 17th, 1896 My name is Adam Tabor and I am the junior lighthouse keeper here at Point Plenty. Forgive my notes – I know they are likely not what should be written here but Mr. Gauvreau never showed me how to fill out this logbook. I do not know what has occurred while I […]
Author – ThatAceGal (@ThatAceGal) Where to Buy – https://thatacegal.itch.io/rivals-in-my-superhero-school When I came up with the idea for “500 Word Reviews for $5.00 Games”, I toyed with only writing a word per penny a game cost me. I’m glad I canned that concept because I would already be well over the limit for “Rivals? In MY […]
Author – Starshine (@Starshinescrib) Where to Buy – https://starshinescribbles.itch.io/bust-blockers For me, the point of tabletop RPGs is to get together with friends around a table and tell engaging, entertaining stories collaboratively. When I first heard of solo journaling RPGs, I really didn’t understand the draw. I mean, is it just a writing prompt? And why […]
Day 1: Hi! I’m Andy Brown, and I’m the manager of your prime time, one-of-a-kind, cinematic hotspot, Bust Blockers! Well, Assistant Manager. But the actual manager quit, so I guess that makes me effectively the manager! (…Right?) This is Day One of my blog, and I’m here to tell you all about the non-stop excitement […]
Author – William Long Where to Buy – https://longgames.itch.io/santa-but Twas the night before Christmas And all through the house Not a creature was stirring Except for…three Santas, one made of ill-fitting off-brand Lego, one comprised of 17 sentient pigeons in a greasy human suit, and one that’s a basketball playing golden retriever. Okay, the poem […]

Thankfully, Sonja and Conan versus the Ninjas (SACVTN) checks […]

Author – geekalogian (@RabidRonnie) Where to Buy – https://geekalogian.itch.io/like-no-one-ever-was My holy grail game is a decent Pokémon tabletop RPG and, thus far, my search has been futile.
