DnD Reflection
The allure of Dungeons and Dragons began all the way back at the beginning of the semester when we first designed characters. I decided to build a big red Dragonborn paladin of Bahamut. Personally, I was most excited about this game because I play Pathfind on a regular basis and was tangentially familiar with the…

Game of the Week Blog Reflection Week 9: D&D Week 1
In this week’s class, we started playing Dungeons and Dragons. I have a bit of background in this game, but not nearly as much as some of my other friends. Dungeon and Dragons is a storytelling game.

Fiasco: A Review
Over the past three weeks, we played a roleplaying game called Fiasco. Overall, I really enjoyed Fiasco because of the openness of the game proper. Everyone gets their time in the spotlight because of how the game is structured. This can be an issue in some TTRPGs that rely heavily on roleplaying. Session one consisted…
