  • New 4E D&D Monsters & NPCs
  • and much much more. 

Open Game Table was made possible by dozens of participating RPG blogs and the combined efforts of over 70 authors, artists, editors, and fans. It’s a true community effort. A peer reviewed, vetted collection of the very best in RPG blogging.

“Open Game Table is exactly what the busy gamer needs, a collection of the best of the best available online…” — Julie Dawson, Bards & Sages Magazine review of Volume 2.

“I found myself enraptured by the thoughts and ideas in the collection, some I agreed with, others I outright disagreed with but that was what made it so exciting, it got me thinking…” – review of Volume 2 by Roberto M at Stargazer’s World.

“…there is something for everyone in here, from the hoariest grognard to the indie designer to the new arrival looking to expand their horizons…”– Satyre’s Fame & Fortune Blog on Volume 2.

WIRED.com’s GeekDad blog says Volume 1 is ”… a treasure trove. A tome worth killing a few orcs for.” and ”The kind of brain stimulus role players need, diverse and quality content.”

Bards & Sages Fantasy Review says ”Open Game Table, Volume 1 is the reference guide equivalent of a Deck of Many Things, … you can draw from it again and again.”

Open Game Table, Volume 2 brings that same level of excellence back to the table, and never misses a roll.

About Berin Kinsman

Hello, I’m Berin. I am a freelance writer, putting down words on things as varied as short stories, screenplays, recipes, productivity advice, and tabletop games. Those are all things that I love, and I enjoy working with and promoting fellow bloggers, writers, editors, and publishers who share those interests. My other passion is working with groups that assist the poor and the homeless. This is my way of trying to be the change I’d like to see in the world, as well as paying it forward in honor of everyone who has ever helped me in large or small ways. I currently live in Albuquerque, New Mexico with my wife, the incredibly talented artist, crafter and educator Katie Kinsman, and our small army of cats.
