This week, I dive into Lady Death, a solo TTRPG about a spirit trying to come to terms with its passing.
It is one of the most impactful and moving games I've played all year!

Zoinks! by Jack Cahan is a fun pick up and play #TTRPG that flips the script on Scooby-Doo by having the players play as the villains. Read my full review here:

Hotdogs & Handshakes by Z. Mann Zilla is a unique #ttrpg that fuses competitive and co-op gameplay to capture the fascinating world of pro-wrestling booking and the backstage politics that come with it.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby has put me in an awkward situation.
How do you talk about a game you hate despite desperately wanting to love it?

Michael Anthony DeAnda's "And The Crops Withered" is an excellent tarot-driven #solottrpg that uses the myth of Persephone to discuss identity and consent.

Ahead of the #DoctorWho season finale, I answer a question that's been bugging me.
If you include all of the spin-off material, exactly how many regenerations of the Doctor are there?
(The answer is way more than you think)

Tāṅka's Noodle Co. is a moving storytelling #TTRPG that follows a family of bears as they attempt to save their family restaurant.
Featuring clever mechanics and plenty of heart, it's sure to become a favorite at your table.

The best thing about the indie TTRPG space is the sheer number and variety of games being made.
I've been at this for a while now, and my games queue has never dropped below 100.
Drawing Monsters by Moth Herald is an excellent rules-lite #TTRPG that has players create and battle monsters.
It's the perfect game for those looking for a way to introduce their friends to the world of TTRPGs.

This week, I look at Maple Mysteries, an in-development TTRPG that perfectly captures the vibe of Gravity Falls, thanks to its unique dice pool mechanic and fun worldbuilding.
