This series was amazing last year, thrilled that it's becoming an institution.
Happy Critique Navidad my friends! A year ago, Clayton suggested the best gift of all was to write about a designers game, so I decided to review your games for the holiday season! I’m doing it again this year — a review (or so) every day! Submit your own if you dare!

They sure are! I'm moving them a little this year so I'm not rushed to read and curate the final list around the holidays.
A small announcement will be in The Explorateur tomorrow and an official announcement later in December. Submissions will open in January. Voting opens in February.

Every RPG blogger is allowed one “What is the OSR?” post. Here’s mine:
The OSR Onion
The OSR may be best understood as a layered approach to design centered around a specific way of writing, refereeing, and playing adventures.
