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 run an RPG group for children. Well, we're a general tabletop gaming group, actually, but D&D is the current focus. For the past few years, we've mainly played board games with an occasional go at the D&D or Star Wars: Edge of the Empire starter sets thrown in. We've always hovered at between 3… Continue reading RPGs with Kids: So Much Fun
I'm working away on some notes, NPCs, locations and the like for my upcoming Dresden Files RPG campaign. I love this part of being a GM. I really enjoy plotting out what I want to happen and how to bring each of my players into the fold. I like sitting down at the table, knowing… Continue reading There’s Something to be said for Unsullied Plans
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
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
We've skipped our usual 5 on Friday and Hobby Update posts this week as I'm currently without a computer. This is a particular pain for the 5 on Friday posts as the format is tricky to replicate on the mobile WordPress app. I have an order in for my new machine, but until it arrives,… Continue reading Box of Books
It’s Friday, and here on No Rerolls that means it's time for an all-new 5 on Friday.

It's not been a very game-heavy week, but I have managed to squeeze in just a little bit of hobby gaming. First up, my after school group embarked on their first proper Dungeons & Dragons session. For some, this was their first shot at D&D or RPGs in general. I didn't manage to get any… Continue reading Hobby Update 09/09/18: Oh, Lovecraft, You Need to Dial it Back…

This is an odd one. So, there were a few Warhammer 40,000 RPGs released by FFG over the years of their license with Games Workshop. They were all the same system, really, but each with a different focus. Deathwatch is the game that focuses on the Space Marines, the iconic... icon of the 41st millennium. … Continue reading Bundle of Holding: Deathwatch²
