Aberrations details surfacing from the depths
My gaming group knows the pain of facing hordes of scaled races – lizardfolk, yuan-ti, draconians, and the like – in our D&D campaign. It would seem the next D&D Miniatures expansion, Aberrations, will bolster the ranks of my reptilian army.

The collaboration between rogue samurai is well underway, as Ronin Arts announced its Treasures of Freeport PDF, approved by Green Ronin Publishing.

Mutants & Masterminds sells out, second edition coming
While superhero RPGs aren’t my thing, if today’s Green Ronin press release is any indication, I’m obviously in the minority.
