Full disclosure: I was paid to write a Scroll-io review for both the website and Kickstarter. All views and opinions are my own. It’s game night: The party just mopped the floor with a gang of orcs like it was nothing, and that was meant to be the tough warmup to the boss fight. …

One of my goals when starting Lightheart Adventures was to diversify my TTRPG knowledge by experimenting with other systems. My familiarity lay mostly with D&D and Malifaux: Through the Breach, but neither had the kind of gritty, bleak feel that I’d seen in other games. That all changed when I read through Zweihander a few …
Malifaux is a pretty scary place, and that’s just in the city! Untold horrors lie in wait beyond the walls of civilization — out in the Badlands, the forests of the Knotwoods, and deep in the Bayou.

Hi-diddly-ho, adventurinos! I felt inspired this week to do a short d&d one-shot Side Quest focusing on oozes and alternate dimensions that can be wrapped up in a short-and-sweet evening session! This one might make germophobic characters a little squeamish, so make sure your players are cool with swimming around in filth and ooze. …
Happy Halloween! While we’re a few days away from Halloween proper, I felt it was time to dive back into the spooky TTRPG Malifaux: Through the Breach! This month’s Side Quest is an exploration-focused romp through a extra-dimensional library, complete with plenty of traps and challenges. I love the mystique surrounding libraries big and small, and …

Jungle encounter ideas are plentiful within the dark woods — each offering different challenges for the adventurers. While we’re riding high off of learning about encounters in TTRPGs, let’s put some of that advice into practice. Today, we’re …
