#DungeonsAndDragons #DnDLore #ttrpgs #gaming #dnd You all know I’ve got that FOMO, so when a home-grown expansion for Dungeons & Dragons appears on the scene you know I’m going to be interested. Enter Vault of Monsters by Driftforge Games, a 5e-compatible bestiary inspired by British folklore, local legends, and regional oddities. And honestly? This thing is packed with charm, weirdness, and the kind of folklore-fuelled creativity that makes tabletop gaming feel magical. From Black Shuck to Tatty Bogles, this book doesn’t just throw monsters at you — it gives you the stories behind them and shows DMs how to truly bring them to life at the table. #dublincomiccon #dublincomiccon2026 #startrek #startrekthenextgeneration #tng #dungeonsanddragons #baldursgate #gaming #ttrpgs #nerd #dublincomiccon2026 #dublincomiccon #startrek #tng #syfy We have all been there looking for new players to try our new games #ttrpgs #ttrpgmemes #cyberpunk #callofchtulhu #DungeonsAndDragons If you have ever wrote your own campaign you know the feeling #DungeonsAndDragons #dnd #baldursgate #gaming #ttrpgs Let’s turn back time to 2006. Twitter had just launched, Pluto was no longer a planet, and shows like Heroes and Dexter were dominating television. But horror fans were being treated to something far slimier with Slither, James Gunn’s gloriously disgusting cult sci-fi nightmare starring Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, and Michael Rooker. Imagine The Thing with more worms, more chaos, and Nathan Fillion trying to hold an entire town together with pure charisma.

TOKYOPOP Brings Manga to the Kids

By David Cromie on May 6, 2026 • ( Leave a comment )

By David Cromie on March 31, 2026 • ( Leave a comment )
