Binwin Bronzebottom is many things:

- A pop culture icon and brand that supports several "catchphrases" and lines of merchandise.
- The star of his own weekly comic strip called Binwin's Minions.
- And probably what I'm best known for, despite the fact that I've been a cartoonist for the last 20 years.

Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms to be exact. An exciting D&D idle-strategy game from the Canadian Wizards over at Codename Entertainment. In …

Usually, if I'm playing a table top game, it's a pen and paper RPG.

Tavis here, from Binwin's Minions. I wanted to give you a quick update and some explination for this weeks Binwin's Minions, a tribute.
Tuesday Morning I took our dog Robot to the ER. She’d been having trouble peeing, and was just generally uncomfortable. After a couple of hours one problem domino’d into another and into another.

Robot was a great dog. Always smiling, and fiercely loyal. Her favorite toys were a ratty old talking Raccoon, and a Crinkly …

We're in the last 24 hrs of the Binwin's Minions V1 Kickstarter and it's been a doozy. We're fully funded as of late last night but if you haven't already become a Backer now is a good time because we've already unlocked the first Stretch Goal: a Binwin Bronzebottom D&D Adventure Module. For the last 24 hrs we've got two new Stretch Goals to keep the momentum going: Signed Bookplates, and Beta Testing the new Binwin's Minions rpg-lite tabletop game!
We've also got some new Reward Tiers and add-ons. Lots of folks were sad they couldn't make it to PAX West so we added the Garfield Game Wizard pinny as an add-on. You can also check …
