50 Bathtub Reviews!

I just wrote my 50th Bathtub Review! It won’t be published until February (it’s a special one! a classic!), but given it’s also a year of Bathtub Reviews, I thought I’d call out my five most popular reviews, especially as it’s Christmas day for those who celebrate and hence I at least am spending time on my phone, writing and avoiding talking to awkward relatives. Here are the most popular reviews of the year!

At number 1, Reach of the Roach God! I had some very complex feelings about this flawed but amazing work, especially in the light of what came next.

At number 2, Another Bug Hunt! This one is a little out of date, as Tuesday Night Games updated the final product in response to my criticisms, changing some of the character descriptions and updating the maps!

At number 3, Barkeep on the Borderlands! This is one of my and many other peoples module of the year! It won Ennies!

At number 4, Into the Cess and Citadel! This city supplement is full of amazing writing and flawed execution!

At number 5, Slumbering Ursine Dunes! An absolute classic compromised by its archaic layout! But rumour has it a revised version is in the works!

Have a happy holiday, and I hope these keep you occupied for a few minutes, if you’re not having a great time!

Threshold of Evil Dungeon Regular

Dungeon Regular is a show about modules, adventures and dungeons. I’m Nova, also known as Idle Cartulary and I’m reading through Dungeon magazine, one module at a time, picking a few favourite things in that adventure module, and talking about them. On this episode I talk about Threshold of Evil, in Issue #10, March 1988! You can find my famous Bathtub Reviews at my blog, https://playfulvoid.game.blog/, you can buy my supplements for elfgames and Mothership at https://idlecartulary.itch.io/, check out my game Advanced Fantasy Dungeons at https://idlecartulary.itch.io/advanced-fantasy-dungeons and you can support Dungeon Regular on Ko-fi at https://ko-fi.com/idlecartulary.
