The new Vox Machina book finally gives Shaun Gilmore his due — read an excerpt here

Image
As soon as Random House revealed the table of contents for its short-story collection Critical Role: Vox Machina — Stories Untold (publishing March 4), I knew exactly which story I wanted to read first: Aabria Iyengar ’s “Shaun,” about everybody’s favorite recurring NPC with a crush on a PC, Shaun Gilmore . I always felt like Shaun got a raw deal in Critical Role’s animated adaptation The Legend of Vox Machina : He’s portrayed as a skilled sorcerer, a savvy merchant, and a scheming politico, but he’s also kind of an affection-operated dispensing machine, and a bit of a retro queer stereotype.

Camps are a integral part of Monster Hunter Wilds . In Wilds , you’ll visit camps in each of the game’s unique locales, and won’t really have a big city hub to return to after hunts.

In this in-progress Monster Hunter Wilds guide, we’ll walk you through how to set up camps, and show you maps of all the camps we’ve found so far in the first two environments. How to find and establish new camps in Monster Hunter Wilds As you explore each new area in Monster Hunter Wilds , you’ll come across secluded and not-so-secluded areas where you can put down a campsite. Once you’ve discovered a potential campsite, you’ll be able to talk to a Palico in that area’s base camp to build a pop-up tent there, which you’ll be able to use to as a fast-travel point, to replenish your loadout , or to respawn at if you fai...

Pokémon TCG Pocket schedule of events for March 2025

Image
The P okémon TCG Pocket schedule is full of events that allow you to grow your digital collection of cards. The developers have run several events as part of the game’s Space-Time Smackdown and Triumphant Light expansions at the time of publication. The content of each event can vary greatly; some require you to battle, whereas some focus on the Wonder Pick feature. Regardless of the kind, each event is a great chance for players to earn freebie items. The one hitch is that events are time-limited. So if you want to snatch up items for free — like promo cards and Pack Hourglasses — you’ll need to know when to log into the game. What follows is a rundown of the Pokémon TCG Pocket schedule as of the Space-Time Smackdown expansion.
