Previewing Exhibition “Coming full circle and making whole” is how Holly Wong describes her process of repair—working with memory, reassembling fragments, and layering paint, fabric, and light into new forms. On view at SLATE Contemporary in Oakland from September 5 through October 11, 2025, Full Circle is her second solo exhibition with the gallery.

On a lovely Sunday evening in Point Breeze, Pittsburgh international Classic Theatre introduced a three-play “aspirational,” with music to provide a taste of each of the show’s international and American flavors. Coming up Oct. 2 is "First Lady," by the Turkish-French playwright Sedef Ecer and directed by Adil Mansoor. The play is described as “a satirical romp through the last vestiges of power of an imaginary Mesopotamian country, [where] Queen Ishtar lives in a bubble, oblivious to...| onStage Pittsburgh

Despite the upcoming Spider-Man set still being weeks out from release, Wizards of the Coast has begun to reveal and pull back the curtain on cards featured in their Universes Beyond Avatar: The Last Airbender set, releasing in November. In today’s livestream, we received a trailer that not only provided details on the product line itself (notably, the absence of Commander decks is an interesting choice), but also gave us a glimpse at a handful of cards.

The original Onimusha is one of the first games that I played back on the PlayStation 2 that genuinely felt next-gen.

I think it is safe to say that Capcom has claimed the crown for the King of Q1 when it comes to releasing powerhouse titles to start off the new year. This year, it was Monster Hunter Wilds, last year Dragon’s Dogma 2, and before that, the Resident Evil 4 remake. I could go on, and we already know what the game will be for 2026!

When designing a campaign in which everything revolves around a single dominant theme, in this case the underworld of the Bleak Beyond, it is important to have motivations for the players and their characters to work outside of the central theme from time to time. | Sham's Grog 'n Blog
In my most recent post I touched on a number of unusual methods in which the dungeon itself figures into the rules of advancement for my latest project, the Bleak Beyond. I received plenty of thoughts and feedback on the Accomplishments portion of that post, but I am wondering how readers feel about the fact that I am considering expunging the tried and true notion of Experience Points in favor of the proposed Experience by Plundering approach:| Sham's Grog 'n Blog
As the anchor of the campaign, around which everything revolves, the dungeons of the Bleak Beyond will factor into the very rules which govern game play. Along with the various tables and conventions specifically designed to power the game sessions, one will find a game unto itself in what I hope to be a rather brief How to Play section. Just the nuts and bolts of a game, one which can be adopted or ignored in favor of one's preferred edition.| Sham's Grog 'n Blog
Here's another bit of Bleak Beyond material that might be of interest to some of my readers. It's basically a Delver-as-Subclass system. In a megadungeon campaign such as this, with no Thief class, the responsibilities of safely and carefully navigating the underworld are shared by all capable adventurers. Why not allow these intrepid spelunkers the chance to hone their skills the more often they use them?| Sham's Grog 'n Blog
If we operate under the assumption that the underworld, or specifically your campaign's megadungeon, has been attracting adventurers for a lengthy period of time, it is not a stretch of the imagination to realize that there are more than likely going to be a number of delvers assumed dead that are in fact trapped in limbo in the dark confines below.| Sham's Grog 'n Blog
Over the course of my three decades of dungeon design the only recurring theme has been one of change. From the crude earliest efforts to the modular string-of-adventures format to the so-called classic dungeon to that first megadungeon effort to the archival style to the one-page idea and on to the present day, my history of dungeon making is marked by sweeping changes based on a wide range of ideas, examples and inspirations. Each step along the way adds to the overall collected know-how. I...| Sham's Grog 'n Blog
Yesterday's post elicited a comment which inspired me to finally comb through my custom bestiary and make a proper OD&D style random Monster level determination procedure. Such a dice rolling convention is used not only for Wandering Monsters, but more importantly for randomly determined initial fills and restocking steps.

Another PAX is in the books, and it brought another round of unforgettable games and lifelong memories with friends. While PAX East increasingly feels like a showcase for indie titles over AAA games (I’ve started calling it “PAX Indie”), PAX West still attracts big-name publishers, offering hands-on time with major releases announced during the summer convention season. This year’s lineup included big titles like Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdo...| Irrational Passions
Ever since the first Octopath Traveler, I have truly believed in the wonders of Square Enix’s HD-2D aesthetic. The brilliant melding of Square’s expertise with pixel art and 3D models has enamored me and continues to do so. That’s why, after getting a chance to try the upcoming Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake at PAX West, a game I love in a series I love even more, I’m so bummed that this remake is also the first game in this style that feels like a bit of a step back for the HD-2D trea...| Irrational Passions
Back at the very start of the year, one of my goals was to dip my toe into Square’s long-running SaGa franchise finally, and to thank my vigor in completing this goal, Square has graced me with not only one new SaGa game with Emerald Beyond (check out my review HERE) but also a full-blown remake. While at PAX West, I had a chance to check out a 30-minute demo for Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven, a modern recreation of the second game of the SaGa franchise, and I came away feeling far...| Irrational Passions
