Bathtub Review: Mana Meltdown
Bathtub Reviews are an excuse for me to read modules a little more closely. I’m doing them to critique a wide range of modules from the perspective of my own table and to learn for my own module design. They’re stream of consciousness and unedited critiques. I’m writing them on my phone in the bath. […]

So I’m toning down the expectations, and I’m going to post something every week, here.My two favourite cities are Fever Dreaming Marlinko and of course, Duskvol. I want to try to meet Marlinko’s scale with Duskvol’s detail, which hopefully will be a […]

Idle Cartulary Awards for Excellence in Elfgames
Everyone loves an informal end-of-year awards ceremony. This year, everyone’s doing it! I’ll join the bandwagon! Best Single-location Module Gold: Cyro-Siq (review here) is a tiny module, that hits so far above its’ weight you couldn’t believe.
