An Umbreon Poke Doll plush.

Happy early birthday to me, from me. Umbreon is NEVER in stock so it was essential.

All Pokemon Locked Behind Pokopia's Palette Town (& How to Get Them) Palette Town isn't just Pokopia's multiplayer sandbox. It's also the only place you can get a few fan-favorite Pokemon.

Did you know certain Pokemon are only available in Pokopia's Palette Town? And yes, that includes Eevee and its evolutions.

I rounded up how to get 'em all.

Dungeons & Dragons Is Still Missing Out on the Best Pathfinder Class (& This Is the Year to Fix It) Having played them both, I'm still waiting for Pathfinder's best class to make its way to the official Dungeons & Dragons rules.

Making a case for a Witch class (or subclass) in D&D in 2026 because the seasonal themes are perfect for it.

Troy Lavallee & Jason Charles Miller On How Glass Cannon Network Captures the Authentic TTRPG Spirit In Its Actual Plays I got the chance to speak with Glass Cannon Network's Troy Lavalle and musician Jason Charles Miller about what makes an actual play great.

Okay, so. The thing I was excited for earlier this week. I had the opportunity to interview The Glass Cannon Network’s Troy Lavallee! Been a fan for going on a decade so it was awesome to chat with him & Jason Charles Miller about TTRPGs and ShadowDark.

For some reason I decided it'd be fun to rank every single Pokemon game you can play on the Switch 2. Definitely a big task, but I did it!

Forget Haunted Chocolatier, The Spooky Farming Sim We Really Need Comes Out This Summer Haunted Chocolatier isn't coming out any time soon, but this long-awaited 3D farming sim with spooky vibes just confirmed a 2026 release.

I am incredibly, incredibly excited for Moonlight Peaks. And we FINALLY have a release date!
