I have been reading a fair number of reviews lately and it's sparked some thoughts. Do we need to play the games we review?

I've been reading a fair number of reviews recently, and it's prompted some thoughts... do we need to play the games we review? I'm undecided.

The party have decided to take on CORTIRAVONAX, OF THE CONFLAGRANT WINGS OF TIAMAT, summoned to protect the Red Dragon Mask. There was much talk of fleeing, the cowards!

This is fun. The more ways there are to slay dragons, the better. Or befriend/seduce them depending on who you ask. However you choose to hit the dragon, there are options.

Two and a half hours into a 15th level 5E boss fight. Keeping track of such a complex system for so long... things I didn't want to miss have slipped through the cracks, which was probably inevitable, but frustrating because I know this combat could have been better.

Thank you for voting. This is the last round—The 1 HP Dragon v. In Praise of Legwork. You can't go wrong with either, all of these blog posts were great.
Earlier today I shared how much I wish I had done more legwork writing The 1 HP Dragon, so it's only fitting I face my anxieties.
