The 2021 edition of the Steam Summer Sale has begun, and a lot of games are included in it -- too many for us to realistically talk about them all.

Last month's TTRPG stream was a special Mass Effect-themed one shot game, but now Joltin' Joe Perez is back to DM us through another installment of his Otherweald campaign, and the gang will set out from their current location in the desert towards the jungle location of the ancient temple of Lilith to reclaim a jeweled chalice sacred to Hela, goddess of death.

Okay, I'm a long time fan of Exalted, the game originally made by White Wolf and now maintained by Onyx Path, which is a roleplaying game about the mythic past where nearly divine beings called Exalted helped shape the destiny of creation.

When you're watching what is essentially a promotional trailer for an upcoming project, you expect it to be effusive in its praise and to try and hype up what it is talking about, so when I started watching The Legend of the Design of the Legend of Vox Machina I figured it would be them talking up the design process.

I remember when I decided to start my first Dungeons and Dragons game as a DM, and found about a month into it that I'd accidentally created my own campaign world.

Fantasy as a genre, especially fantasy gaming -- whether it be tabletop or computer -- is dominated by a tradition derived from Tolkien, a sort of mashup of various European sources.

We've seen Warcraft TTRPGs and board games, and now World of Warcraft is making the move to tabletop strategy gaming.

Between Day of the Devs, Wholesome Games, Future Games, and the Indie Games features at E3 and Summer Games Fest, and now the Steam Next Fest, my Steam wishlist has swollen from just under 200 games to well over 300 in the space of a week.

Are you ready to take a trip back to Hawkins, Indiana and all of the strange things that have been happening there?

These indie games have unique art styles, and they also seem like they will be very fun to play -- is there a more killer combination than that?
