RPG Legends: Blackmoor

November 8, 2017 By Paul Bellow

Dungeons and Dragons is the original table top role playing game. While many other games have come and gone, Dungeons and Dragons has maintained its spot at the top of the list. In its early days, though, it wasn't quite the institution that it is now. Early Dungeons and Dragons was very much a game in which things were figured out as they go. As such, a number of great campaign settings came and went - and were … [Read more...] about RPG Legends: Blackmoor

RPG Legends: Ravenloft

October 29, 2017 By Paul Bellow

D&D's settings have been, for the most part, different flavors of fantasy. One setting, though, decided to go in a very different directions. Instead of sword and sandals, it went for howling wolves and the children of the night. This setting is Ravenloft, and it brought true horror and dread to the world of Dungeons and Dragons for the first time. Publication History Ravenloft is particularly unique when it … [Read more...] about RPG Legends: Ravenloft

RPG Legends: Al-Qadim

September 20, 2017 By Paul Bellow

As Dungeons and Dragons began to find some success with its more popular settings, there was a sense that players wanted more. Most of the settings only concentrated on small areas of their constructed worlds, leaving a great deal of room for DMs to create their own new areas within those settings. It should come as no surprise that TSR thought they could tap into that same market by creating new sub-settings in … [Read more...] about RPG Legends: Al-Qadim

RPG Legends: Fallout

September 6, 2017 By Paul Bellow

Some of the greatest CRPGs were built from the bones of table top games. One series, though, managed to blaze its own trail. Sure, Fallout has its roots on the table and borrows liberally from earlier games, but it's become something of its own. This game series is nothing short of a phenomenon, a series that has managed to entrance players over the course of over twenty years. A History of Fallout Fallout is a … [Read more...] about RPG Legends: Fallout

RPG Legends: Shadowrun

August 29, 2017 By Paul Bellow

When most people think of role playing games, they think of fantasy settings. After all, the origins of the genre were strongly tinged with fantasy and most of the games that followed tried to copy what was already successful. There have been some games, though, that have seen more potential in these games. Their creators realized that the mechanics could be adapted to almost any setting. One game that proved that … [Read more...] about RPG Legends: Shadowrun

RPG Legends: Spelljammer

August 22, 2017 By Paul Bellow

At some point during its development, Dungeons and Dragons just got weird. It took a gamble on embracing every aspect of its cosmology and pushing out settings that seem incredibly odd to today's players. Fortunately, some of these settings ended up being spectacular. While they weren't anything like the D&D players know and love today, they provided for fantastic worlds that still have strong fan … [Read more...] about RPG Legends: Spelljammer

Super Mario RPG

August 16, 2017 By Paul Bellow

Anything can be an RPG. All you really need is stats, a story, and a good system in which everything can take place. There's no better example of this fact than the existence of the Super Mario RPG series. Yes, Super Mario - the tubby plumber who is best known for being the shining mascot of the platformer genre - stars in his own RPG series. If you take a look at everything that went into the series, though, you'll … [Read more...] about Super Mario RPG

Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar

August 8, 2017 By Paul Bellow

Pigs are strapping on their wings. The devil is enjoying a snow cone. Despite all common sense and reason, one of the legendary unfinished games of the RPG world has finally been released. Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar is a game long in the making, with twenty-plus years of hype and development behind it. It now comes time to examine how this quasi-mythical game came to be, what the finished product ended … [Read more...] about Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar

RPG Maker VX Ace Overview

August 6, 2017 By Paul Bellow

Have you ever wanted to make your own video games? If you've ever looked into it, you know that it's not exactly an easy process. You need some very high-level computer skills and a lot of money behind you just to make a product that most people will ignore. If you really want to make RPGs, though, there's a great game/tool out there for you. RPG Maker XV Ace is an interesting product that gives amateurs all they … [Read more...] about RPG Maker VX Ace Overview

RPG Legends: Greyhawk

August 4, 2017 By Paul Bellow

One cannot have Dungeons and Dragons without Greyhawk. Sure, there have been other settings in the history of the game. There have even been settings that have arguably been more successful. At the heart of the game, though, is Greyhawk - still sitting around, still waiting for adventurers to come through and add to the legacy of the setting. Greyhawk has, in many ways, become more than a setting - it's a core part … [Read more...] about RPG Legends: Greyhawk

Stick RPG 1 & 2

August 2, 2017 By Paul Bellow

One of the great things about RPGs is that they don't have to look great. Sure, some of the biggest role playing games on the PC and consoles have boasted incredible graphics, but it's always been the story that really matters. One of the best examples of story trumping graphics can be found in a Flash game series. Stick RPG has been one of the more popular flash game titles ever released, with literally millions of … [Read more...] about Stick RPG 1 & 2

RPG Legends: Dark Sun

July 28, 2017 By Paul Bellow

When most people think about Dungeons and Dragons, their minds turn towards epic fantasy. Elves, dwarves, dragons - it's part and parcel of the role playing game package. However, those who are most familiar with D&D know that there's far more to the game than just that. In the 1980s and 1990s, a number of alternative settings flourished. Some of these settings took Dungeons and Dragons in strange, often unique … [Read more...] about RPG Legends: Dark Sun
