Review: The Adventures of Frank Frazetta’s Death Dealer: Shadows of Mirahan from Goodman Games (4E D&D)
The Adventures of Frank Frazetta’s Death Dealer: Shadows of Mirahan arrived today and I decided to give it a review.

Review: Azagar’s Book of Rituals from Goodman Games
One thing that always irked me in my D&D 4th Edition home game was the lack of ritual integration. I don’t know why, but my players would just not use them. I suspect that since they got involved with 4E through the Living Forgotten Realms modules, those story-light, combat heavy adventures generally did not lend [...]

Review: Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition Manual of the Planes
I will admit it. In all the iterations of Dungeons and Dragons, I never purchased the Manual of the Planes. Well, until now. I never was interested in different planes, universe cosmology, or portals to another dimension in my D&D games. But in 4E, there was one specific item that made me take the plunge. [...]
