THE WORLD’S WORST DUNGEON CRAWL!

Dungeon Bastard

He’s the guy making me spend GenCon funds three months ahead of time.

So, if you’ve been listening to the show, following me on Twitter, or read any of my articles, you’ve probably figured out that I’ll be going to GenCon this year.  That being said, it would be in my best interest to squirrel away as much cash as possible and definitely NOT spend it on Kickstarter… but what can I say?  Awesomely epic opportunities of gaming uniqueness only come along like every few weeks, so I have to take advantage of them, right?  Well, this week, I got in on the absolute best/worst gaming Kickstarters ever – Epic Level Entertainment’s World’s Worst Dungeon Crawl!  Check out the official press-release after the jump.

Why Humans are a Horrible Fantasy Race

The Human Race

We all know that the majority of humanity is probably pretty decent, but all it takes is a couple of nut jobs to screw everything up for the rest of… well… everything.  This goes for real life, and possibly the realms of fantasy as well.  This week I’ll finish off my look at the classic fantasy races for D&D and Pathfinder with the humans, and talk about how they are pretty much the worst when it comes to all races.

Why Half-Orcs are Inhumane

Half_Orc_Paladin

Back when Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition released in 2000, those of us out there that had cut our teeth on AD&D 2nd Edition where privy to a slough of changes.  While some aspects were a call-back to the original Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and familiar to the generation of gamers before myself, of all the changes, revisions, updates, and rebirths to be had, half-orcs should have stayed in AD&D, and for good reason.  I continue my look at the classic Player Character races and plead with you to stop the inhumanity!

In Conflict Bound: Part 3 – Sibling Rivalry and Absolute Mayhem

Loki and Thor Sibling Rivalry

So last week I detailed what constituted a game-plan as how the Norse God A.I. super-android spaceships were going to break their bonds, gain a little vengeance, and make their bid for freedom from the Terran Empire.  IXB-Thor and IXA-Loki have set off into the space station in android bodies, IXA-Skaal is having an identity crisis, and IXI-Hella is actually the only one trying to go about things in a reasonable manner, so, on to the action!
