By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 01 April 2020 With the majorly positive reactions to The Witcher series on Netflix, it was only a matter of time before I and others ventured back to the Continent to see what we’ve missed over the years. Thanks to the generosity of R. Talsorian Games, I was able to jump... Continue Reading →
By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 23 January 2019 Any game with a solid setting is worth its weight in gold, in my opinion.

While I've been grumbling quite a bit about the various problems with 7th Sea Second Edition, especially the metaplot, I have to say that I've always been curious how they would handle the novels.

One of the stretch goals for the 7th Sea 2nd Edition Kickstarter was the promise of a number of novels written by John Wick. By the end of the Kickstarter, we were promised Daughter of Fate, Born Under The Black Flag, and The Gossamer Empire. While I was a bit annoyed that certain goals had... Continue Reading →
While I can't afford to keep up with EVERYTHING, I do love it when I can borrow the trade versions of comics from the library. It does mean I'm normally 6+ months behind, but I can at least say that I am getting to know our collection a bit better. This time around, I found... Continue Reading →
Prior to taking my first swordsmithing class with Sam Salvati, I never heard the name "Ewart Oakeshott" before.
