Let Me Tell You About My OC: Intari

Let Me Tell You About My OC: Intari

Did you ever have a character concept you loved, one that looked great on paper even, yet… nothing ever worked out? That’s Intari Ariabis, my tiefling warlock. When my friend (and Sidequest Editor in Chief) Missy decided a couple of years ago that she would start running a Dungeons & Dragons game for us, and that the game was going to be full of feywild bullshit, the concept for Intari snapped together, crystal clear in my head.

GYGO: At This Point We Might As Well Call This Roundup “This Week in Layoffs”

Another week, another Wednesday! I haven’t been playing many games recently, though I did just try Horrified, a co-op monster-hunting board game. It was a lot of fun! The rules seem complex at first, but once you get into the groove of things it’s a lot of fun with flexible difficulty. We took Dracula and the Creature from the Black Lagoon down on our first try, so you’re welcome for saving the world from a double monster menace.

Anyway, here’s the gaming news this week. (more…)

GYGO: Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast in the Hot Seat

Welcome to another Wednesday chock full of gaming news! I have been a much more diligent gamer lately, by which I mean I actually finished a game, started another, and promptly abandoned the one I started to play yet more Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!, which I have spent over three entire days of my life playing. Three. Entire. Days. Am I OK? I simply don’t know. (more…)

5 Games to Play Between Seasons of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury

If you, like us, had your brain completely exploded by Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, I’m sure the Sunday drops are bittersweet: it’s great to have a new episode, but each one marches us closer to the mid-season break.

But have no fear! You can keep those big robot feelings rolling with one (or more!) of these five games with similar vibes to the most recent Gundam entry. We’ve got some TTRPGs for if you want to turn your anime watch party into an anime game night, a mech strategy game for if you want to feel the catharsis of launching a big cannon, and even a one-page journaling game so you can try your hand at building your own Gundam series.

GYGO: Mobile Games Are Taking Over

Hello! I rejoin you from an internet-free weekend (not by choice, unfortunately) to share everything I missed from the last 48 hours and beyond. I did not play many games during The Great Unplug, but I did play much game, by which I mean something like six hours of Dungeons & Dragons, in which my character had some shady stuff happen to her, got knocked unconscious, woke back up and took righteous vengeance, and everybody discovered she was a warlock all along.

Oh, I guess I did play roughly two million hours of Twenty by French Guys and Overcrowded on my phone because they (mostly) work offline. Good times.
