Dragonbane – Preview #2 “Characters”

In the second part of my preview I would like to take a look at the player characters and their creation. Many elements are already known from Forbidden Lands, although there are of course some differences.

Dragonbane – Preview #1 “Overview”

The Swedish role-playing game Drakar och Demoner gets a new edition and is translated into English for the first time. Under the name Dragonbane we can enjoy a new fantasy role-playing game from Free League. In my preview series, I want to show you what to expect and how Dragonbane differs from Forbidden Lands.

Land of Eem – Preview

I have subscribed to many newsletters and so a lot of advertising ends up in my inbox. I usually go over that very quickly, but I’m really glad I checked out Land of Eem because it ticks so many points for me that it’s one of my top favorites for 2023.

Forbidden Lands – Report #12 „The Hollows“

The new year began for us with a new session of our Forbidden Lands campaign. There were a lot of new information and developments this time, so our group is forced to act. You can read here what exactly happened.

Crescent Moon – Introduction

Based on the playtest version, I had already written a preview of Crescent Moon. Now that I have the finished version in my hands, it’s time for a complete introduction. Crescent Moon was funded at the Zine Quest on Kickstarter. Blades in the Dark (BitD) was the model for the rules, but Crescent Moon is designed for hearty and relaxed play.

Fabula Ultima – Preview

By chance I came across Fabula Ultima, an Italian role-playing game that is due to have an English translation in 2022. As a foretaste there was the Quickstarter of Fabula Ultima for Free RPG Day this year and I was able to get hold of a printed copy.

Forbidden Lands – Report #8-11

I didn’t report on a whole part of our last game nights in the Forbidden Lands. Some of our sessions were quite shorter or consisted of a lot of downtime, especially when expanding the fortress, so I will summarize the last four adventures here.

Upriver Downriver – Preview

In addition to dice, from time to time there are other exciting tools to bring random elements into rpgs. It’s the same with Upriver Downriver, which uses the tarot on the one hand as inspiration and on the other as a game mechanic. The funding of the game is currently running on Kickstarter and here is my preview of the game.

Forbidden Lands – Report #7 „Adventure in the Marshlands“

We had a slightly shorter session, but in which many new developments became known. After a long time we played at full strength again, which I really liked.

Avatar Legends – Conclusion “The Forbidden Scroll”

When the quickstarter for Avatar Legends came out, I was really excited to see how the rules play out. With a little delay, we have now gotten to it and tried the official adventure. Don’t worry, I’m not going to reveal the story, but rather go into the rules and our experiences.
