Dungeons & Dragons
While there are more tabletop roleplaying games on the market than ever before, the granddaddy of them all — Dungeons & Dragons — still reins as king, and there have been some notable additions to the 5th Edition D&D library this year.
Tales From the Yawning Portal digs up, revamps classic D&D dungeons
Tomb of Annihilation may suck … the life out of D&D’s risen heroes
Volo’s Guide: a D&D monster manual with personality and purpose
Many out-of-print D&D classics resurrected for print on demand
Inspiration point
A John Scalzi book makes a great gift any time of year — but Miniatures, being a collection of short stories by the sci-fi genius, can provide endless inspiration for RPG adventures of many genres.
Gamer gear
Whether you need dice, slotted bases for metal minis or stands for cardboard tokens, Spiel Pro has you covered — and then some. The online game parts superstore, headquartered in Mesa, is an ally and affiliate of Nerdvana (use this link when shopping) and just an all-around great company.
