Exploring and celebrating the tabletop hobby
There are certain games for which I am truly an evangelist. Paranoia is definitely one of those games. It's not the game I'd choose to play every week, but it's such a great experience when you do get to break it out. It gives great opportunities for one-shot silliness. I loved the 2nd edition of… Continue reading Bundle of Holding: Paranoia (The New One)
Welcome to our top 50 games list for 2018, in which I list my personal top 50 games at this point in time. My choices are not limited to games from this calendar year, but instead, represent my current thoughts on the top 50 games to me. Next year, some of the games featured may… Continue reading Top 50 Games of 2018 (10-1)
With my computer woes banished, for now, it's time to dust off this old chestnut and share what I've been up to for the past week. Then again, given that I've not done one of these in a while, it's really more than a month that we need to catch up on. I'm not going… Continue reading Hobby Update: It’s Been a While
You may have noticed already, but I love RPGs. I like most forms of tabletop gaming, but RPGs are special. I really enjoy taking part in that sort of collaborative storytelling. There's something so... pure about it. I'm probably sounding a bit silly, but I'm used to that. Generally speaking, I like to play in… Continue reading RPGs: In Person VS Online
Today, I thought I'd take you through my collection of RPG books. That is, my physical collection. As you can probably surmise from my frequent links to Bundles of Holding, I have a lot of digital copies of RPG books, too. Those folders are vast, but also unimpressive and ultimately less satisfying from a collector's… Continue reading My RPG Collection
It’s Friday, and here on No Rerolls that means it's time for an all-new 5 on Friday. We're going to start with 5 exciting releases for this week before moving on to our usual digest of some of our favourite articles from the past week. Of course, we’re slow readers, so don’t be surprised if there are some articles… Continue reading 5 on Friday: 10/08/18
The week began with a bit of a craft project. I printed up a deck of cards to use in my Wednesday game of Paranoia. In addition to the printed cards, I used some other supplies. These were a selection of sleeves and some old Magic lands to put behind the prints to give them… Continue reading Hobby Update 08/07/18: Prepping Paranoia
I've got a lovely opportunity coming up. Some old friends are interested in trying out a roleplaying game and I'm delighted to be their GM. I love GMing. I like playing RPGs, but GMing is where my heart is. I like telling stories and working with the players to really create something special. Thing is,… Continue reading Choosing an RPG for a New Group
A little late this week, but then I've not really done all that much, hobby-wise, apart from a bit of D&D. The first of these sessions was my Lybster group. We stormed a bandit outpost that we really had no business storming. It didn't help that several members of the group did not follow the… Continue reading Hobby Update 01/07/18: Onward to Strahd
So far, I've done Top 50 rankings for two years. Paranoia appeared in both sets, at number 21 in 2016 and then an even more respectable number 2 in 2017. So, yeah, needless to say, I really like this game. Paranoia feels unique. It is often described as a cross between 1984 and Monty Python… Continue reading Bundle of Holding: Paranoia Classic
