The new Ravenloft: The Horrors Within book has now been released widely and is easily available for purchase wherever you get your D&D books from. It has been out at local game stores for the past couple of weeks and I am now ready to give my first impressions of this new tome. If you already own Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, then you will want to hear this episode first to see what the crossover content is like. I also give my brief impressions on all the supporting products that came out with this book - the Ravenloft DM Screen, Map Pack and Tarokka Deck. Tune in to hear if this group of releases will appeal to you.

Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games!

The last Summer game showcase of the big platform holders happened last week and it's time to review it. Nintendo was the first company to push the Direct style of presentation that now dominates the industry in the Summer rush of announcements, and whether you love, hate, or find yourself somewhere in between with your feelings for Nintendo, it's hard to deny that they also handle this format as one of the best. This year was different though, as Nintendo had held off on an early year Winter general direct, so there was definitely some pent up anticipation. After a few prominent leaks and sky high expectations, the 50 minute show finally aired, and in typical internet fashion, everyone has opinions.. including me! Tune in to hear my thoughts on this big show and how it compared to the other big ones from this Summer's series of game showcases.

I was pretty excited when I saw that a pre-order incentive for the new Ravenloft book was going to be Shadows of Sithicus, which is also the scenario that will be the basis for the newly revamped D&D Encounters public play program to support their new seasonal model. The reason for my excitement was that this is the name of a very well done Ravenloft scenario from Dragon Magazine issue # 351 in the 3rd edition era. My mind started speculating on all the cool connections we might see. Is this going to be a 5e remake of that scenario? Or will it be a continuation? Well now that it has been out for a bit, I have had a chance to look this new scenario over, and it turns out it is something I did not expect. Tune in to hear my thoughts overall and a side by side comparison of the 2 similarly titled adventures.
