Fragged! (A Review of Frag)

4 comments:

Many games out there require thoughtfulness, planning ahead, strategizing, plotting, countering, sidestepping, and all sorts of brain-exercising activities.

Let me just start off by saying, Frag is not one of those games.

Billed as "A first-person shooter board game,"  Frag is fast paced, action oriented, and light on depth.  If you could take Halo and make into a board game, you'd probably end up with Frag.

RPGs: The Readied Action

1 comment:
The other day on twitter, I found myself (read: violently broke into) in a conversation about Readied Actions and their appropriate usage, with a few other players of various DnD brands.  A particular frustration expressed was when players used a readied action to constantly get a jump on baddies, trying to achieve surprise round after surprise round.

Being that I am somewhat of a blogger on RPG topics, I decide to dig into the readied action a little bit, and share my thoughts with the world, AKA "you guys."
