Exploring and celebrating the tabletop hobby
It's nice when companies release licensed RPGs. The books are not only games in themselves, but are usually full of cool art and background information on the franchises you love. Put simply, they are often celebrations of the subject matter. The thing is, you often don't need a whole new RPG system to run games… Continue reading Best System for a Rick and Morty RPG
I almost missed this sale! As much as I love the World of Darkness, I actually much prefer Chronicles of Darkness as a setting. I prefer most of the games in the range (though Vampire: The Masquerade remains my favourite White Wolf game, overall) and I like the approach taken in building a setting for you… Continue reading Chronicles of Darkness on Sale at DriveThruRPG
Cubicle 7 make a handful of interesting games, such as the RPG based on The Laundry Files, the Doctor Who RPG, Victoriana and, relevant to this post, The Lord of the Rings RPG. One of the current offers over at Humble Bundle is for a selection of LOTR RPG books. The bundle gives you loads… Continue reading Humble Bundle: The Lord of the Rings RPG
It’s Friday, and here on No Rerolls that means it's time for an all-new 5 on Friday.

We're back up north, having spent a couple of weeks visiting family, buying a new car, seeing friends and generally chilling in the Central Belt. It's always nice to go off somewhere, but I like coming home. On Wednesday, I headed down to Lybster for one of my D&D groups. We've been using the Portland… Continue reading Hobby Update 29/07/18: One Construct and His Blade
We've made it clear before just how much we love Modiphius. They just consistently put out quality and, given the sheer range of great games they offer, it's hard to believe that the company is only six years old. Anyway, that's enough gushing for now. There's a bundle up just now on Bundle of Holding… Continue reading Bundle of Holding: Mutant: Year Zero
Bundle of holding have a couple of offers up just now for Ars Magica, the magical fantasy RPG from Atlas Games. It was originally published by Lion Rampant and then by my beloved White Wolf. Indeed, it was created by Mark Rein-Hagen, who also created Vampire: The Masquerade and, with it, the World of Darkness. … Continue reading Bundle(s) of Holding: Ars Magica 5th Ed.
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
