    Spoiler-free review: Icewind Dale Rime of the Frostmaiden D&D adventure

    Spoiler-free review: Icewind Dale Rime of the Frostmaiden D&D adventure

    Welcome to the cold, cold north of the Forgotten Realms! You’ll be needing some friends and a few warm inns to make it through, but it’s OK. The worst that can happen is the endless winter finally consumes one and all.
    The latest D&D campaign book, Rime of the Frostmaiden, is all about the ruthlessly cold, constant foreboding of Icewind Dale in the midst of a greater crisis than usual. It’s always cold, it’s always difficult. But now there’s something a little extra behind why the Dale is oh so hard on warm bodied life.
    No spoilers here! Just flavour and vibes and what you can expect from the style of game you'll bring to your table through this book.

    One year on: D&D Live goes online

    One year on: D&D Live goes online

    A 1:1 show this time around, as Seamus thinks on one year since the show launched after D&D Live in 2019 and how that event has had to go online in 2020. He gets philosophical about D&D and spending time at a table playing games together in general, and then also manages to share some interesting news and new things that are out there you can explore.
    Here's the links as promised:
    D&D Live: Roll With Advantage
    Roll20
    Beyond20 Chrome Extension
    Lords of Vegas 10th Anniversary on Kickstarter
    Ekphrastic Beasts on Kickstarter
    Miguel Zavala's models on Shapeways

    Beyond just virtual boards to play on

    Beyond just virtual boards to play on

    Luke Lancaster is back on the show with Seamus, discussing how to not just stick to virtual tabletops and other specific digital tools for our remote boardgame experiences. Luke even ran a game of Mr Jack via Twitter!
    We get specific on the games, and kinds of games, that suit playing without constant access to a board, virtual or otherwise, and the particularly good reasons for using the likes of Roll20 and Tabletop Simulator to get involved.
    Find Luke on Twitter: @lglancaster
    Find PAX Australia on Twitter: @paxus

    And Byteside is where it's always been: byteside.com!

    Boardgames in the age of coronavirus

    Boardgames in the age of coronavirus

    We're being encouraged to self isolate if we can, which is great news for many geeks. But if you can't gather around a table for a boardgames because that's a bit too close – what are you going to do?
    Yes, you could play a video game, but sometimes we want the tactile boardgames experience. So this week we're exploring the many aspects of playing boardgames when you're home alone. Solo games (and playing co-op solo). Games via remote access. Digital boardgames online. RPGs online. Right down to deck construction as a game!
    There's enough here to keep you mining new games, and games you already own, for the long months ahead.
