Humpday Blog-O-Rama 5.15.19

Blogs are an integral, vital part of the RPG hobby. They serve as incubators for new games, sounding boards for fresh ideas, and platforms for up-and-coming talent. They keep "forgotten" games alive, foster discussions, and build communities.

Every Wednesday on the Thought Eater podcast and blog, I take a look at what is going on in the vibrant RPG blog scene. Check out previous Humpday Blog-O-Rama posts HERE.

    Hi Froth, just wanted to note a few things about Dark Tower:

    1) there's an iOS app! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/app-for-dark-tower/id806256398?mt=8

    2) there's a Tabletop Simulator thing on Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=873019835

    3) there's an older Flash version you can download and play in your browser (I assume it still works): https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/303779/flash-version-playable-online

    The Bob Pepper art in the original is awesome. I only played it once as a kid, at someone's house, but it made such an impression that when the Web started being useful back in the late 90s it was one of the first things I looked for. Unfortunately I wasn't alone, and the prices on originals were already high.
