The purchases are for play, the freebies are gifts or, more commonly, review copies. I struggle to complete reviews in a timely fashion and, as such, I thought I\u2019d start a column in which I share some of what has arrived as a stopgap until I have the time to do a complete review.\u00a0What follows is a surface level look at why I got these products and why I dig them.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bloatgames.squarespace.com\/shop\/destination-uncharted-pre-order-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Destination Uncharted<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivethrurpg.com\/browse\/pub\/9721\/Bloat-Games?affiliate_id=814082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloat Games<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Product Type: RPG zine<\/li>\n<li>Source: I backed this Kickstarter<\/li>\n<li>System: Hack the RPG<\/li>\n<li>Disclaimer: I\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivethrufiction.com\/product\/333479\/Tales-from-Vigilante-City--Short-Fiction-Collection-for-SURVIVE-THIS-Vigilante-City?affiliate_id=814082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">written for Bloat Games<\/a>, but not on this project<\/li>\n<li>Why I Picked This Up: I\u2019m a fan of Eric Bloat\u2019s work having <a href=\"http:\/\/tesseraguild.com\/tag\/survive-this-zombies-2nd-edition-core-rule-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">played one of his SURVIVE THIS!! sessions<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.originsgamefair.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Origins Game Fair<\/a> and completed multiple interviews. When he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/ericfrombloatgames\/destination-uncharted-tabletop-rpg-zine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kickstarted <i>Destination Uncharted<\/i> during Zine Quest<\/a> (Kickstarter\u2019s annual RPG zine promotion), I wanted to pitch in as a backer. What arrived in the mail was 44 full color pages plus a cover of pure OSR meets <i>Indiana Jones, Goonies, Tomb Raider<\/i>, or <i>The Mummy <\/i>pulp fun adventure. The system involves a d20 against a target number plus a d6 to see if your action results in some sort of hindrance or benefit. With this combination of Open Gaming License (OGL) plus the right setting inspires a modern-day dungeon crawl RPG. If you\u2019re looking for a familiar system for pop culture stories of the now and the near-now, this zine packs a lot into a tight space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210804_152701-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-24925 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210804_152701-207x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"207\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210804_152701-207x300.jpg 207w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210804_152701-707x1024.jpg 707w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210804_152701-768x1113.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210804_152701-1060x1536.jpg 1060w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210804_152701-1413x2048.jpg 1413w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210804_152701-scaled.jpg 1767w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 207px) 100vw, 207px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/talesoz\/the-new-tales-of-oz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New Tales of Oz<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivethrurpg.com\/browse\/pub\/15217\/Goat-Song-Publishing?affiliate_id=814082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Goat Song Publishing<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Product Type: RPG zine<\/li>\n<li>Source: I backed this Kickstarter<\/li>\n<li>System: An original system<\/li>\n<li>Why I Picked This Up: Another RPG zine that funded during Kickstarter\u2019s zine quest, this book comes in at the same page count plus cover as <i>Destination Uncharted<\/i> above, but its contents are unique.

Each character has a playbook (character sheet) that includes the cards your character starts with. Each card has a point value or an ability; using these you can overcome obstacles.

While it\u2019s a thick book of comics (448 pages), I picked it up because of the RPG content. Crossing over the sequential art of AT&amp;T\/Warner Bros\u2019 DC Comics with Hasbro\u2019s Wizards of the Coast Open Gaming License (OGL) is a unique moment of two of the largest corporations in the world producing a product together without a specialized contract or money changing hands. It&#8217;s a fun moment and, as such, I wanted to own it. With 46 pages of D&amp;D content (I\u2019m adding in the OGL and table of contents), this book gives good coverage to the location, new monsters, new ancestries, and new subclasses that would allow you to play in this world. If you\u2019re a fan of DC Comics\u2019 <i>The Last God<\/i> or dark fantasy, this book is worth getting. Alternately, if you only want the information but not the comic, the D&amp;D portions are available as a separate one-shot titled, <i>The Last God: Tales from the Book of Ages<\/i>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3lxWdLU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">D&amp;D Dragon of Icespire Peak<\/a> Adventure Preview and MTG X D&amp;D from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dmsguild.com\/browse\/pub\/44\/Wizards-of-the-Coast?affiliate_id=814082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wizards of the Coast<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210804_154445-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-24927 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210804_154445-158x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"158\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210804_154445-158x300.jpg 158w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210804_154445-539x1024.jpg 539w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210804_154445-768x1459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210804_154445-scaled.jpg 1348w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 158px) 100vw, 158px\" \/><\/a>Product Type: Promotional tie-ins to the launch of Magic The Gathering\u2019s Forgotten Realms set<\/li>\n<li>Source: Freebies from <a href=\"https:\/\/meeplemadness.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meeple Madness<\/a><\/li>\n<li>System: Dungeons &amp; Dragons Fifth Edition<\/li>\n<li>Why I Picked This Up: When I attended the Magic: The Gathering Adventures in the Forgotten Realms prerelease, I picked up two souvenirs: a graph paper spiral ring notebook with 5 pages of card sleeves on top of the graph paper and a cover image of Drizzt Do&#8217;Urden and Guenhwyvar leaping into action, and a preview of the <i>Dragon of Icespire Peak<\/i> adventure.
