Hansa Teutonica came into my awareness during a board game discussion with a few friends in the last 6 months. I went searching for a copy only to come up short. Interesting that in that time the company behind it Pegasus Spiele would decide to re-release it in a “Big Box form. I’ll say this…
Tabletop Review – Block Ness – Blue Orange Games
Block Ness by Blue Orange Games – Ryan Miller Years ago I was introduced to a game called Blockus by my nephews on my wife’s side of the family. It was a fun little game in which players place Tetris-like pieces on a square board to control an area. There was a lot to like…
Tabletop Review – Dungeons and Dragons – Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft – Wizards of the Coast
About a year ago I asked on the official Ravenloft subreddit (or the closest thing to it), if anyone knew if Wizards of the Coast would ever bring Ravenloft fully back to Dungeons and Dragons. Curse of Strahd in my view was a great release, but in my view it was just an amped up…
Tabletop Review – Dungeons & Dragons – Candlekeep Mysteries – Wizards of the Coast
Candlekeep Mysteries is the Dungeons & Dragons book I have personally been waiting for… Sort of. When I got back into D&D during 5E I was admittedly without content to play with, Wizards of the Coast has made sure players had LOADS of campaign content, Curse of Strahd, Icewind Dale, Prince of the Apocalypse, and…
Tabletop Review – Cyberpunk Red- Core Rulebook
Back in the late 1980’s and throughout the 1990’s I was huge into tabletop roleplaying games, and then I took a break that lasted about 20 years. In the last 3-4 years I’ve gotten back into TTRPG’s pretty hard. I started by buying new editions of games I played back then starting with D&D 5e,…
Tabletop Review – Mork Borg – Free League
I have been playing tabletop RPG’s since the 1990’s when I got a box set of the “Classic Dungeons & Dragons” game at a local gaming shop, and it changed my life. Around the same time I found a love of heavy metal music that has never died. In my head it seems like games…
Tabletop Review – Photosynthesis – Under the Moonlight
Blue Orange Games was kind enough to send me the expansion to Photosynthesis for review and, while not impossible, I’d feel the need to talk a little bit about the initial set it adds to. To begin, if you know me, you’ll know I love games with weird a seemingly boring themes. At it’s core…
Tabletop Review – Alien RPG – Core Rulebook/Destroyer of Worlds (Free League)
I will admit being a little behind, but I just heard about 2 months ago about Free League Publishing’s recent Alien RPG, and as soon as I heard about it I knew I had to get my hands on it. The thing about Alien is, as good as the movies (some of them) are. The…
EuroCultAV’s Best of and Holiday Gift Guide 2020
I can’t believe I’m already writing a best of for 2020. I feel like I’m speaking for the entire population of the planet when I say that his year just dragged. That being said in the midst of this there has been lots of cool pop-culture awesomeness released into the market. I don’t order these…
Tabletop Review – Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything (Wizards of the Coast/Dungeons and Dragons 5E)
During my first decade-long go around with D&D (then AD&D 2E) in the 90’s, there was an over-abundance of material that went along with the game. At the time I loved it, in fact, I consider one of the great tragedies of my existence is my Mother dumping all my 2E stuff long after I…
