In my early 20s, I hopped over to Amsterdam with some friends. I’d just ended a long-term relationship and was determined to melt my brain. On the third day of our trip, we rented a cabin outside the city, surrounded by farmland and chickens, and devoured too many mushrooms. For the next few hours, I…
At PC Gamer we occasionally run tabletop RPG campaigns remotely, with senior editor Robin Valentine as our long-suffering GM. I like to think of my role as ‘agent of chaos’—all scrapes and japes.

But that’s what happens when I begin a new adventure in Morrowind: a Pavlovian response that makes me want to charge out of the character creation section and start exploring, even though I know I’ve seen it all before….
Before you get to start slaying dragons or thwarting the plans of evil deities, RPGs tend to test your mettle with more mundane fare. Typically this involves a filthy tavern with a rodent problem. It’s such an ancient trope that RPG designers have been poking fun at it for decades, like 2004’s The Bard’s Tale,…
Y’all ever see a chicken try to knife a duck to death? Y’all ever see a seagull try to beat a duck with a police baton? I hadn’t earlier, but now I have thanks to the demo trailer for goofily parodic shooter Escape from Duckov, which is getting a new demo on May 29 that’ll…

In the latest dev chat video they’ve shared some more details about the DLC, which is called Tides of Torment, and also features a Norscan faction led…
