The Wild Beyond the Witchlight: A Feywild Adventure ADVENTURE REVIEW
As an adventure that teases the edges of possibility of the Feywild, The Wild Beyond the Witchlight: A Feywild Adventure brings the delightful and terrifying aspects of a Domain of Delight and fey magic to an adventure for fifth edition Dungeons and Dragons. The most recent adventure from Wizards of the Coast is a departureContinue reading “The Wild Beyond the Witchlight: A Feywild Adventure ADVENTURE REVIEW”
Eberron: Rising from the Last War CAMPAIGN SOURCEBOOK REVIEW
Eberron: Rising from the Last War is a beautifully unique divergence for Dungeons and Dragons, and is the result of a fantastic partnership between Wizards of the Coast and their community of creators. Keith Baker’s world exists within and at the same time separate from the rest of the Dungeons and Dragons multiverse, making itContinue reading “Eberron: Rising from the Last War CAMPAIGN SOURCEBOOK REVIEW”
Mythic Odysseys of Theros CAMPAIGN SOURCEBOOK REVIEW
Set within a world rooted in Ancient Greece, Mythic Odysseys of Theros continues in the path of Guildmaster’s Guide to Ravnica in bringing another Magic: The Gathering setting to Dungeons and Dragons.

Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Reflections as a Dungeon Master
This is written as a retrospective from the perspective of a Dungeon Master, and reflections as a player might vary. Contains spoilers for Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. Waterdeep: Dragon Heist is a fantastic adventure, and was one of the most compelling I had seen from simply reading the synopses of various D&D adventures. Its modularity wasContinue reading “Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Reflections as a Dungeon Master”

Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden ADVENTURE REVIEW
Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden is a massive adventure book, clocking in at over 300 pages to rival the length of the Dungeon Master’s Guide and Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Considering one is the literal rulebook and the other is the only fifth edition adventure to carry players to 20th level, that shouldContinue reading “Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden ADVENTURE REVIEW”
