Dungeons & Dragons Lore & Legends Review: 5th Edition History in Full Color

Since its debut in 2020, Heroes’ Feast: The Official Dungeons & Dragons Cookbook has earned quite a reputation — both at the New York Times, where it ranks among the bestselling cookbooks of the decade, and with my 10-year-old daughter, who swears by the simplicity of its one-pan buttermilk biscuit recipe. Now its authors are back with a sequel titled Heroes’ Feast: Flavors of the Multiverse, a joyous romp through the dishes of the D&D multiverse. I’m happy to report that not only is it a great read, but it has the potential to level up the whole family when it comes to kitchen prowess.

As sports games have evolved, we’ve seen some stale titles begin to liven up the energy in their yearly releases. However, most seem to get away with just being a mediocre experience. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Most casual audiences don’t seem to mind. Yet with Cricket 24, there’s a clear lack of dedication from Big Ant Studios. Even with all the new waves that have positively affected the sport of Cricket, it seems like the gaming industry can’t capitalize on what players need.

If you want to flash your smartphone rather than pulling out a driver's license at the airport, three more states this week added support for the functionality on Android.

Here is the datamined Season 3 Mythic+ dungeon tuning which includes nerfs to Dawn of the Infinites and buffs to other dungeons! There may be more changes this week, or missed changes that are undataminable.

Two new devices are available now in the form of their newest Revolution X Camo and Colorlight controllers for the Xbox and PC.

League of Legends Heartsteel is the name of the now very real boy band consisting of six champions and a handful of real-world artists representing them, as Riot Games shows off the first artwork of the characters. The group’s first single is also on the way later this month.

The changes and added elements in Apex Legends never seem to end. That makes sense with the game being a service. For each season introduced, Apex Legend has a bunch of things that are altered such as new maps or reworked heroes like Revenant in Season 18. But more importantly, a new legend that often changes (breaks) the meta of Apex Legends. For the upcoming 20th Season, this is the same. We’re getting a 25th legend who goes by Conduit. While we don’t know much about this character, we have some information that has weight to it. Follow along below for the juicy details on the new legend.

A new Dungeons & Dragons actual play is in the works, featuring even more familiar faces from the voices and creatives of the gaming industry. Titled «Natural Six», the campaign posted the Kickstarter trailer—shown above—to their YouTube channel earlier this week (thanks, Dicebreaker). Leading the group as its DM is Harry McEntire, who is the voice of Noah from Xenoblade Chronicles 3. 

Three critically-acclaimed tabletop role-playing games from Free League Publishing are on sale for October Prime Day. They include games based on both the Blade Runner and the Alien franchises, as well as the newest adaptation of The Lord of the Rings novels for 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons. Discounts are expected to run now through the end of the day Wednesday, Oct. 11.

Doug Cockle, voice of Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher video games, is headlining a new Dungeons & Dragons actual play series called Natural Six. Announced on Monday, the 10-episode run will feature several other well known voice video game voice actors. The project is expected to go live on Kickstarter soon.

More and more Dungeons & Dragons groups are moving their weekly game online these days, but the physical books themselves are still best-sellers. That means there are always a lot of them in the warehouse for Amazon’s Prime Day sales, and this October Prime Day is no exception. What’s unusual, though, is just how many books are available at a good price. This is actually well more than was available in July, or during the holidays last year. The discounts even extend to D&D’s deadliest adventure of all time. Here’s our picks of what to look for, plus the complete list of all the titles on sale through Oct. 11.

Between the launches of Major League Cricket in the United States and the Women’s Premier League in India, and Ben Stokes’ Bazballing Brits putting bums on seats in the Test arena, the past couple of years has been an exciting period of expansion and evolution for the sport of cricket in all of its forms – well, except for one. Cricket 24, the latest video game version of the most beer-friendly of summer sports from developer Big Ant Studios, finds itself stuck in the past like a handlebar moustache on an Aussie fast bowler – offering a brand of bat-on-ball gameplay that’s almost indistinguishable from the now two-year-old Cricket 22. A sprinkling of new and only partially implemented player licences, slight visual improvements, and the addition of Adam Gilchrist to the perennially misfiring commentary team don’t really combine to provide a compelling enough reason to bring returning fans back through Cricket 24’s turnstiles.
