Winds of the North Playtest Session (Eyjolf, Spring, Year 1)

I’ve playtested Winds of the North a handful of times already at various stages of its development. But it’s been a while since a good chunk of what I’ve been working on this past few weeks was mostly writing encounters and cleaning up the rules so hopefully, someone who isn’t the designer can understand howContinue reading “Winds of the North Playtest Session (Eyjolf, Spring, Year 1)”

First Impressions: Valheim

When I started my website, I intended to do more articles on video games, but rarely am I able to play anything new. However, a friend gifted me a copy of Valheim, and I’ve been diving in quite a lot. Valheim is an open-world survival/crafting game with a Viking-inspired setting.
