Are You Already Playing Lacuna Part 1?
While tidying up my office I rearranged and curated my collection of tabletop roleplaying games on display. Doing so unearthed a small press RPG I discovered many years ago when the terrific Inception movie came out and I wanted to bring the dream heist espionage scenario to the game table.

Survive the Underdark against Mushrooms and Dangerous Water
Adventures in the Underdark are usually considered more dangerous than adventures above the surface. The typical denizens are bad enough without all the random dangerous creatures.

When you explore the Underdark you might want some awesome terrain to put on your tabletop.
RPG Ideas — Relationships
Welcome once again to the weekly newsletter. This week’s topic is relationships, which we discussed in our weekly live chat. We hangout every Monday evening at 8 p.m. EST on Nerdarchy Live to talk about D&D, RPGs, gaming, life and whatever nerdy stuff comes up. Speaking of relationships another creator we’ve developed a great relationship with is Penny Dragon Games, who’s giving a free hard cover copy of Firestar Falling to everyone who backs a physical tier of the Bergin’s Book of Beasts Kickstarter in the first 48 hours. The cosmic horror adventure takes characters through an investigation of an abandoned village and battle against creatures twisted by a mysterious entity from another plane.

Exploring RPG Character Strengths and Flaws as Two Sides of the Same Coin
Salutations, nerds! Today I’m writing about your tabletop roleplaying game character’s greatest strengths and biggest flaws and how sometimes it helps to have them come from the same place. I don’t mean where you put your highest and lowest stats but instead your character’s personality.
Invoke Dreams and Nightmares through 5E D&D Monsters of the Multiverse’s Fey Goblins
Fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons is by far its most popular iteration of the game to date. With this edition’s lifespan nearing the time many editions transitioned to the next, we’re getting an update in the form of Monsters of the Multiverse, which presents new insights into various D&D monsters and races including goblinoids. While some settings use these races as shorthand for villains or simple monsters, Monsters of the Multiverse reveals these creatures to be fey in origin. As part of that new revelation we’re getting updates to these races.
