FIND YOUR NEXT REALM

About Rabid Realms

Rabid Realms brings together video games, tabletop adventures, collectibles, and the side quests in between. We share what we’re playing, discovering, and creating, while connecting with people who enjoy exploring their own interests just as much.

DISPATCHES FROM THE Realms

What We Cover

Our interests take us from digital worlds and tabletop sessions to collectible shelves, hobby projects, and local game shops. Expect familiar favorites, unexpected discoveries, and plenty of room for a new obsession.

Playing together and sharing the experience are part of it, too—whether that means finding a group, swapping recommendations, or showing off something you’ve made.

Video Games

Games we’re playing and worlds we’re exploring, from RPGs and co-op adventures to indie discoveries and familiar favorites. We share our experiences, what stands out, and what keeps us coming back.

Tabletop & TTRPG

Board games, trading card games like Magic: The Gathering, and tabletop RPGs. From deck ideas and campaign stories to miniatures and homebrew projects, there’s always another reason to gather around the table.

Collectibles & Gear

Collectibles, gaming gear, and the projects that fill our shelves and workspaces. We explore handmade creations, model kits, dice, miniatures, apparel, and whatever catches our curiosity next.

Side Quests & Guilds

Local game shops, community events, creator collaborations, and people to play with. We explore the places and connections that turn a shared interest into a new adventure.

Our Approach

How We Approach It

We take the time to understand what we’re covering, then explain the experience with enough context to help you decide if it’s worth your time.

Firsthand Experience Over Surface-Level Verdicts

We spend enough time with the games we cover to actually understand how they feel to play. Sometimes that means finishing the campaign. Sometimes it means testing different builds, modes, difficulties, or playstyles. We’ll always be clear about how much time we spent with something and what our experience was based on.

  • We play long enough to understand the experience, not just the opening hours

  • We pay attention to progression, usability, build options, pacing, and the little things that affect how a game feels

  • We explain who a game may be a good fit for, and where it may fall short

Meet the Creators

Rabid Realms is built to grow beyond any one creator, bringing distinct voices and perspectives together across gaming, tabletop, collectibles, and fandom.

Founding Creator

Rabid Ape

I’m Rabid Ape, Realmkeeper of Rabid Realms. Gamer, creator, and builder. I like exploring digital worlds, strange hobbies, and whatever obsession spawns next.

Some of my favorite games include Final Fantasy, Overwatch, The Elder Scrolls, and Super Smash Bros., with plenty more in the mix. I also enjoy Magic: The Gathering, whether I’m playing MTG Arena or sitting down for Commander at a local game store.

I like to joke around, carry on, and keep things fun without taking myself too seriously. That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a little competition, though!

Family and business are big parts of my life, and I love finding ways to bring them into my hobbies—whether that’s building awesome scenery pieces for our backdrop with my child or collaborating with and supporting local businesses.

Founding Creator

Reptilian.Sun

Reptilian.Sun profile portrait

Hey everyone! I’m Reptilian.Sun, a gamer, collector, and creative who loves a good side quest.

I play across PC, Nintendo Switch, GBA, PS2, PS4, and tabletop, with some of my current favorites being The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, Hogwarts Legacy, Magic: The Gathering, D&D, Death’s Door, and Sea of Stars.

When I’m not gaming, I’m usually collecting something or working on a creative project. I collect Pokémon cards, LEGO figures, and D&D minis, and I enjoy creating art of my characters, crocheting, cross-stitching, and even crafting my own dice towers.

Here at Rabid Realms, I’m excited to share those interests with you—from the games taking over my free time to the projects taking over my craft space. If you enjoy swapping game recommendations, sharing your latest collectible find, or talking about a project you’re working on, we’ll have plenty to chat about.
