It’s What’s Inside… (#RPGaDay 2017, Day 12)

August is RPGaDay month. Yep, a month solid of RPG-related posts, answering these questions: Today’s question is this: Which RPG has the most inspiring interior art? It bet those who’ve read previous posts in this series know at least some of the answers I’m going to offer. Oh, and one or two of these images might be NSFW, I suppose.

Lots of images, and I think the gallery plugin is preloading the bigger size for when …

Trusted Reviewers (#RPGaDay 2017, Day 10)

August is RPGaDay month. Yep, a month solid of RPG-related posts, answering these questions: Today’s question is this: Where do you go for RPG Reviews?

But I also do this one thing when I’m reading the reviews:
