We covered the original Magic the Gathering cards and the “Arabian Nights” set over on Something Awful, now we turn our attention to 1994’s “The Dark” expansion set. This set delved into the gloom of darkness, adding the word “shadow” before various monsters and the set included numerous goblins, witches, and bogs. The art was…

WTF, D&D: Wild World Wrestling “Sheol in the Steel”

WWE superstar Joanie “Chyna” Laurer died unexpectedly yesterday (April 20th) at the age of 45. For reasons that are totally normal, not weird or gross, Zack thought it was important that we paid tribute to Chyna. Unfortunately, we only have one way to do that at WTF, D&D, so we played the wrestling role playing game Wild…

On the surface of a dead planet, in the warrens beneath a desolate hive city long ago struck from Imperial records, sits an ancient engine of forbidden archeotech.

WTF, D&D: Star Wars D20 – “The Death Star Plans of Naboo”

If there’s one thing you should know by now from playing Star Wars video games and watching Star Wars movies, it’s that everything revolves around the Death Star and its plans.

WTF, D&D: The Lamest Weapons in Rifts

Rifts is a wondrous game full of variety. There are hundreds of character classes, thousands of hit locations on skull robots, and millions of different weapons for your characters to shoot, stab, and blast at various spike-covered demon beasts. Today, we’re talking weapons. Sure, the first 80-90,000 Rifts weapons were perfectly neat from a “doodled on…

WTF, D&D: Stevefeld’s Hooks About Nothing for Any Setting

Real life isn’t all about destroying the lich king’s phylactery or blowing up the Matrix. If you’re looking for an evening of pure roleplaying with your gaming group, try giving them nothing to do with one of these pointless adventure hooks. Fantasy UNICORN DEAL: Reports of a unicorn in a nearby forest excite local townspeople,…
