This week our tabletop gaming crew took a break from D&D to try something completely new....

It's no secret that I'm old and jaded -- I've been old and jaded for a long time now -- so when I say that I'm impressed by Quest, it's not just because I love internal rhymes.

Playing Dungeons and Dragons, if you're not running the game and thus playing the role of Dungeon Master, you're likely playing a character.

We've talked about Unearthed Arcana here before, focusing on Subclasses to change up how your favorite class plays, but the latest playtest content from Wizards of the Coast for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition is something a little different -- instead of focusing on new subclasses to alter a specific class, it decides instead to give you new feats which can be taken by almost any class (although some wouldn't be very useful for all classes).

I know, I know: we left last month's D&D game on a pretty big cliffhanger, and I promise we'll get back to that.

Up until now the D&D Beyond app for smartphones and tablets was a reference app, which was really useful if you were looking up information from one of the books in your virtual collection.

In order to harness the awesome powers available to players in many tabletop board games, one of the first steps is buying dice.

Everyone has different criteria for games they want to pick up when they go on sale, especially a sale as huge as the Steam Summer Sale, which is going on from now until July 10th.

It's fifty years in the future.
