    Through various cultures, mythology has served as a metaphor for imagination, a medium that allows for the examination of human emotion, gods, and the mysteries of fate. Central to all mythology is the female figure, characterized by elements such as strength, beauty, desire, and intelligence. Many [...]

    The free indie game The Tribe is difficult to assign to a specific genre. Judging by its interface, it appears to be a strategy game. The gradual optimization of moves also falls into this category. Even the fact that there are multiple paths to victory supports this. However, such a path is deter [...]

    Winter scenes have long inspired painters as much as daydreamers. The immobility of snow-covered fields, the subdued sparkle of ice under a dim sun, and that biting air that turns everything to crystal create feelings of both loneliness and calmness. Such frozen realms, instead of being cold and alo [...]

    Each generation experiences its own silent disappearances, the wearing away of landscapes, rituals, and identities previously considered irrevocable. Artists, with their specific acuity towards impermanence, have always registered these ephemeral points where things endure and things disappear. Each [...]

    I bought Ascendancy well after its release. Well after the release of Master of Orion II, stuck in a love-hate relationship with that game, I picked it up from a bargin bin. And then never actually played it. Until 2025. Yup, this game was the beginning of my personal “pile of shame”, entry #1. On [...]

    If there is such a thing as a “favourite game of all time”, one hot candidate for me is definitely Pirates! Therefore, I’m always looking out for similar ones. Swords & Galleons is conceptually one of the closest I’ve seen so far.

    Prior to compiling this list, I wasn’t fully aware of just how many comic books with post-apocalyptic settings are out there (and, of course, the list is far from comprehensive, covering only the 100 most frequently recommended titles). Had you asked me earlier, I would have said there are only a fe [...]

    Post-apocalyptic fiction as a source of entertainment is a hard sell to many people: visions of collapsed societies scrambling in worlds ravaged by disasters might hit too close to home rather than offer escapist relief. This is as true today as it was during the Cold War period, when many of the ge [...]

    One reason why space-faring science fiction is a less popular RPG genre than heroic fantasy is that it can feel like so much work, for both GMs and players. Futuristic settings often demand more specificity and detail than their magical pre-industrial counterparts, and if they also involve planet-ho [...]

    Cyberpunk has a curious status as a genre in the history of roleplaying games.

    At first glance, espionage might seem like an overlooked theme in tabletop RPGs – a small niche within the already niche category of modern-day, real-world games.
