Introduction: What is Down Among the Dead? For those who have been playing Pirate Borg for a while, you’ve probably either been creating your own content, something the core book does a great job helping inspire, or you’ve been looking for new material to bring to the table. I’m happy to say that Limithron has created a new expansion, Down Among the Dead. Just like the core book , it’s packed with tables, ideas, tools, adventures, and fantastic art. While there is plenty here

The core book is ideal for those who started with the starter set and are ready to take a deeper dive into the world of Pirate Borg. If you’re a seasoned GM, you could probably skip the starter set and jump straight into the core book. That said, I still love the maps, tokens, and dice included in the starter set, and they work well alongside the core book.

We review the Pirate Borg Starter Set and explore what makes this chaotic pirate RPG one of the easiest tabletop games to jump into.

Platform reviewed: Nintendo Switch Price: $9.99 Love Eternal is a psychological platformer that mixes mind-bending artwork and animations, with challenging and sometimes frustrating levels. At times, it feels like I’m forgetting to take a breath between safe spots. In the levels I can jump and reverse gravity to stick to platform ceilings.

Demon Tides is a very fun platformer with charismatic characters and smooth movement. It’s the perfect spring or summer game to play just to get into the season and remind everyone to sit back and enjoy the waves sometime.

Baladins is a breath of fresh air. Its board game inspired playstyle, coupled with branching dialogue and open quests, allows me to explore and experience it at my own pace. Adding the ability to play with up to three other people makes it feel like I’m sitting around a board game with friends. The loop mechanic adds an interesting element, refreshing the board every six turns, but it never became troublesome, as the game offers plenty to explore and do.

We had the opportunity to check out Fizban's Fortune, the new collectable dice from FanRoll. Check out the video below to see what we got and our thoughts on the product!

Unfortunately, the experience wasn’t much fun for me.

I loved my time with Ella Stars. The music is fantastic, and the art is superb. It’s a fun, wholesome game that’s especially enjoyable when you want to unwind after a long day.

It feels like a missed opportunity, to better connect the lyrics to the gameplay and use them to tell a story.
