[Definition] When you take The Dash Action, you gain extra movement for the current turn. (D&D 5E)

Welcome to The Dash Action! A blog talking Dungeons & Dragons and all things tabletop. 

I'm Dashmeister. I’ve been playing games of every shape and kind since the ’80s. For me, play isn’t just a pastime; it’s a vital part of how we connect, learn, and imagine. So much so that I built my career around games.

If you’re into D&D, other roleplaying games, or just curious about the ever-growing tabletop scene - The Dash Action is for you.

Here, you'll find a mix of:
  • Game impressions and reviews
  • Ways to get more from your hobby
  • Spotlights on companies and creators shaping the tabletop world

Where to start

A love letter to the game that got me started. Learn why it still holds magic, how to dive in if you’re new, and where to set your next epic. Plus: ideas to deepen your experience beyond the game table.

I revisit a classic board game in its new form. Is Hasbro’s remake a critical success - or just a comforting reroll? Find out where it lands and what it might mean for the franchise’s future.

Where to go next

Want more D&D?

Join me as I return to 5th Edition after a decades-long break.

Curious about my home campaign?

Follow Phandalin’s Finest as they battle the dragon menace Cryovain, in a homebrew mash-up of Lost Mine of Phandelver and Dragon of Icespire Peak. Be sure to start at the oldest post and be warned - spoilers!

Ready to try something new?

Discover fresh systems as I bar-hop my way through popular tabletop RPGs and lesser-known gems.

I’m also diving into board games, miniature wargames, and trading card games - expanding my own experience and sharing what I find.

Signing off

Whether you're here for the nostalgia, the stories, or the strategy, I hope The Dash Action gives you a reason to pause, roll some dice, and remember why this hobby is so endlessly rewarding.

Thanks for joining me.

Talisman 5th Edition review - does a hit of nostalgia equal a smash hit?

  2nd Edition - the Talisman I grew up with. 5th Edition - the Talisman my kids are growing up with. Image by Avalon Hill, part of  Hasbro [10 min read] How It Plays A Dash of Data Summing Up Talisman 2nd Edition was an important part of my childhood many decades ago. So I was excited when Hasbro relaunched the classic board game franchise with a 5th Edition back in July 2024. Since then, my family and I have played over a dozen games at multiple player counts, including the cooperative expansion. If you're curious about whether it's for you, check out How It Plays . But why Talisman and why now? In a world where board game demand has softened since the explosive growth enjoyed during Covid, production costs have risen due to inflation, and there is future uncertainty around tariffs, why did Hasbro bring back this venerable product? If you want to dig further into the rationale behind the relaunch, wonder if it hit the mark sales-wise and what might come n...

The One Ring 2e: Strider Mode impressions

One system to rule them all? [14 min read] Image by Free League Publishing Introduction So I have been on a Lord of the Rings kick of late, and while it might be from the hype of the Amazon series, Rings of Power , I actually haven't watched it yet. I will definitely be doing so shortly!  I've been reading The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings since I was 10 years old, and they remain amongst the very few books that I reread every few years. It is safe to say their influence on my love of fantasy and role-playing games is inestimable - I don't think I'd be here writing a blog without them. So whilst I have been mostly focusing on Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition content so far, I am interested in other RPG systems, and I decided to treat myself and purchase The One Ring 2nd Edition core bundle from Free League Publishing. After reading the core rules and all the additional supplements that come in the bundle (in physical format, no less!) I also purchased the rules for so...

Worlds to explore - my favourite content

  Leaving a legacy Image courtesy of Rebecca Parker on Pinterest [5 min read] It's been a while since I posted, life getting in the way and all. Actually, I've been running more Dungeons & Dragons sessions than I expected, and that doesn't leave a ton of time for other parts of my hobby. This year, I resolved to preserve my favourite content for my two boys in case either (a) reliance on digital media and their complicated rights management somehow removes access to these, or (b) gulp, I am not around to see them grow up, and I want an easy way for my wife to expose them to it. You can see how I structured this in my  first content preservation post . Spoilers - it is expensive and a lot of work. Having secured the majority of the content on my list, I turn now to how I want to introduce my sons to it at the appropriate age, with the presumption that I am not here to do so personally. I started a google doc, which I will build over time, to explain why each is important...
