Baseball card RPG, putting old cards to good use

I’m sure I’m not alone in the group of kids that collected baseball cards in the 80s/90s with hopes of cashing them in 20 years later so you could retire. Funny thing is that never happened.

When tabletop worlds collide

Since this is still tabletop month (and the board game I was hoping to play didn’t come in on time), I figure it’d be a good idea to stick to our good old friend, Role-Playing games. Though, while my last article focused on the past, this article is going to focus on the three campaigns [...]

There’s a very high chance that my childhood is dead. And not just from age, as I firmly believe that anyone can retain their childlike sense of wonder and attitude for an infinite stretch of time. No, I have a sneaking suspicion that my childhood died a violent death at the hands of a cruel [...]

If anything unites gamers, it’s most certainly fanservice dished out in droves.

Games You Should Have Played: Golden Sun: The Lost Age

I’ve talked about Golden Sun for the Game Boy Advance before. It was the last game spotlighted in my feature, Games You Should Have Played.

The Old Is Still New: A Review of Dragon Quest VI

Dragon Quest is insanely popular in Japan. Here in the US, however, it’s also insanely popular. And I’m perfectly okay with this as the games tend to be extremely high quality. Squanre-Enix, doing what they do best, decided that it would be a great idea to remake a bunch of old Dragon Quest games for [...]
