Hasbro’s multitude of celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons include streaming the fan-favorite 1980s D&D cartoon on the 24/7 Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures FAST channel. The animated series, despite a relatively short run of three seasons and 27 episodes, has become a fantasy genre classic. The engaging storytelling and dark themes greatly influenced future media—and the characters were so memorable, 40 years later they caused a social media frenzy when their live-action counterparts…

Curve Games Last summer’s Xbox Games Showcase was filled with so many eye-catching titles that I wouldn’t blame you for forgetting half of them.

Things are starting to slow down for the plucky out-of-nowhere sensation that is Palworld. But it’s still doing pretty well for itself, and if you are carrying on with it, you may be interested in this pretty nifty mod for the PC version. As spotted by DSO Gaming, you can now add a mini-map to the Palworld UI, thanks to user T3R3NC3B over on Nexus Mods. Seems like such a small addition to the game, but given that it shows the location of all pals, it could well be an essential download for a lot of people. Image via…

Jennell Jaquays, an influential game designer who shaped everything from first-person shooter Quake to tabletop adventure Dungeons & Dragons, has died aged 67. The news was announced earlier this week by Jaquays’ wife Rebecca Heineman who shared a brief statement on social media. Jaquays was diagnosed with the rare neurological condition Guillain-Barré syndrome in October. “We both were convinced we had more time,” Heineman wrote before adding: “To paraphrase Dr Seuss: Don’t cry because Jennell is gone. Smile because…

I’d like to think that everyone who’s played an RPG has wondered what its fantastical creatures might look like on a plate. If you try to show me someone who hasn’t ever thought about eating a Pokémon, I will show you a liar. And it’s that bold adventuring spirit that Delicious in Dungeon, which recently debuted on Netflix, simmers to perfection. Based on the manga Delicious in Dungeon (or Dungeon Meshi) by Ryōko Kui, the Netflix anime adaptation has a powerhouse behind it with Kill la Kill and Little Witch Academia…
