Miss Anna Arden is Barren. And how does an unmarried teenager in Victorian England know such a thing? Well, she’s not barren in the reproductive sense. This is much worse. In the world of Blood Rose Rebellion, Barren women can’t do magic, which is the only proof of a noble’s heritage and worthiness. Only those …

I read the first chapter of A Crown of Wishes and immediately had to check twitter. Sure enough, Roshani Chokshi and Stephanie Garber, author of Caraval, follow each other. Did they also edit each others’ introductory chapters? Because both begin with a mysterious invitation to a mysterious game run by a dangerous and magical individual. …

I guess it sorta makes sense the Queen Ashayara Dayne would be mad at us, what with the death of her beloved husband. Sure, it wasn’t our fault but I guess she doesn’t know that. And honestly, this couldn’t have come at a worse time since we came to Pelor’s Hope first on our worldwide …

I was astonished when I picked up The Song Rising by Samantha Shannon, the third installment in the Bone Season septet.

I had a chance to get my hands on Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles at PAX East this year. It’s an open-world game set to come out on PlayStation 4 and PC later in 2017. I was immediately struck by how beautiful the environment was, and more specifically, the light. If you take a look at …

When we found out that Mass Effect: Andromeda would be on the show floor of PAX East, I laughed and vowed to go nowhere near the booth. You see, I had gone on lock-down. No more trailers. No reading previews from previous trade shows. And definitely no gameplay videos. Then I walked through the doors …

New Coventry. A town located somewhere between over there and around about here. A town full of people, places and stories. Depending on who you talk to New Coventry was built on everything from fertile farming land to an ancient burial ground and was founded by pious pilgrims or lizard-headed demons. Whatever the case, New …

Battle time, baby! The gang is in a bit of a pickle. Not even a tasty pickle treat but a full on assault from the forces of the Dark Lady. I hope they survive or else all of this dance food will go to waste.  This is a 5e Dungeons & Dragons adventure set in Northwestern Drunkeros …
