  • Bathtub Review: Tomb Robbers of the Crystal Frontier

    Bathtub Reviews are an excuse for me to read modules a little more closely. I’m doing them to critique a wide range of modules from the perspective of my own table and to learn for my own module design. They’re stream of consciousness and unedited critiques. I’m writing them on my phone in the bath. Continue reading

  • Jaquaysing

    Anne wrote this post about the background on the use of the word Jacquaysing: Xandering is slandering. It collects a lot of evidence of bad faith acting of the author of the term “Xandering”, and reflects strongly how I feel about the term. I’d encourage you all read it. Thanks, Anne.

  • 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 Continue reading

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.
