A Dungeon for Bibliophiles

The Stygian Library by Emmy Allen

April 6, 2021 by Jenna Leave a Comment

Another RPG sourcebook! I’m slowly emerging from the month-long frenzy known as midterms, but RPGs are still pretty much the only thing that can hold my attention. I heard of The Stygian Library when I was browsing some DnD forums, looking for cool homebrew ideas. Everyone who mentioned it recommended it realllly strongly, so I figured I’d pick it up. They were right! The Stygian Library is a collection of rooms, details, and encounters based in a labyrinthian library. In play, the DM rolls dice […]

Less Frog Demons Than Expected

What Ho, Frog Demons! by Chris Kutalik, Luka Rejec

April 2, 2021 by Jenna 1 Comment

What Ho, Cannonballers! It’s been nearly two months since I posted a review or, indeed, read a book. My last semester of school is truly kicking my ass. I have plenty of books to choose from, but school takes so much of my mental and physical energy that reading anything seems like just another item on the task list. One thing I have enjoyed, though, is thinking about and reading tabletop RPGs. There’s something so low pressure about RPG books, which are often just a […]
