Top News Stories

Lou Zocchi has died: Lou Zocchi, best known as the face of Gamescience and designer of weird dice, has passed away; he was 91. Lou had a long legacy in the hobby gaming space, including design and production credits across the TTRPG and board game spaces. What he is best known for, though, was his unerring campaign for fair dice and invention of all manner of new dice, not the least of which was the d100 (sometimes called a Zocchihedron in his honor). Lou had a massive impact on the games space and making the act of rolling dice look like what it does today. Rest in peace.

From the Archives

Eight years ago today we dove into the first Genesys supplement and began to really see what the system could do. While the supplement library for Genesys is arguably a bit uneven, Fantasy Flight did score a solid hit out of the gate. From the archives this week is the review of Realms of Terrinoth.

Discussion of the Week

I am making a deliberate effort to watch RPG Youtube a little more generously: Rob’s observations about RPG content creators mirror my own; one big reason I really don’t watch any RPG content on Youtube. I do think, though, that there’s a key point that Rob raises in the second point of the thread, which is that a lot of the framing and negativity being observed here is endemic to Youtube and its algorithm, not tabletop RPGs in particular.
