Zenimax vs. Facebook
This series explores the troubled history of VR and the strange lawsuit between Zenimax publishing and Facebook.
DM of the Rings
Both a celebration and an evisceration of tabletop roleplaying games, by twisting the Lord of the Rings films into a D&D game.
Wolfenstein II
This is a massive step down in story, gameplay, and art design when compared to the 2014 soft reboot. Yet critics rated this one much higher. What's going on here?
What Does a Robot Want?
No, self-aware robots aren't going to turn on us, Skynet-style. Not unless we designed them to.
Rage 2
The game was a dud, and I'm convinced a big part of that is due to the way the game leaned into its story. Its terrible, cringe-inducing story.
If the GM actually observed the players, and wanted to run a game (as opposed to narrating the movie in his head) this would be a good way to introduce a McGuffin.
It’s nice that the players are at least attempting a bit of roleplaying here after throwing this major wrench in the DM’s plans.
Is it role-playing? Ok, feels like in DnD /ADnD where the rogue got additional XP for the work of the treasures they could pick up. I hated that rule…
And it seems like all characters have secretly being multiclass Thieves.
Oi! Seems like next week page is missing again.
