Since the opening days of my RPG life, I’ve created backgrounds for my characters. It’s just how my brain works. I love creating characters and their backstories. Don’t worry, I don’t force my GM (or fellow players) to endure reading the pages and pages of hastily-written...

Deathmatch Island Review

by Jared Rascher | Jun 10, 2024 | Reviews

Ever have a rough morning and not remember where you are? No judgement, just curious. But, what about if you don’t remember where you are, and there seems to be a set of branded clothes sitting on a table across from you?

Dungeons, Dragons, and Emotional Development

by Matthew | May 31, 2024 | General

Tabletop RPG are more than just escapism—they help with emotional and social growth. Studies show that role-playing can boost empathy, improve social skills, and even reduce anxiety. Plus, it’s a fun way to explore different sides of your personality in a safe space. Whether you’re convincing an NPC to give you a discount or figuring out how to lead your party, you’re learning real-world skills in the most entertaining way possible.

Make it Episodic – GM Tips & Tricks

by Tomas Gimenez Rioja | May 29, 2024 | Game Mastering, GMing Advice

Let’s start from the beginning… what is the primary BBEG in all gaming tables? We all know that is scheduling. So the moment one of your players fails to come to one of the games, you know you will have to get the player up to date on what happened and give an explanation to why they weren’t...

Nostalgia Gaming

by Phil Vecchione | May 24, 2024 | Game Mastering, GMing Advice

Dungeons, Dragons, and (Online) Dinner Parties

by Josh Storey | May 17, 2024 | Game Mastering, GMing Advice

How do we craft a good experience for our players when they’re just voices in our ears and videos on our screens? After all, experience is more than the points that gets handed out at the of the session. I want to talk about the charisma-based skill challenges we face when our campaigns are digital—the soft skills, the social stuff.

This time around, I’m going to talk about the order in which you design your adventures. There are many takes on this, and loads of approaches to use. However, I’m going to focus in on what works for me. If it works for you, great! If you give it a try, and it doesn’t quite jive...

For the Queen 2024 Edition Review

by Jared Rascher | May 13, 2024 | Reviews

A new version of the roleplaying card game For the Queen is upon us, and as I prepared to write this review I thought, “I just wrote a review for this game.” Then I realized that it’s been almost four years since I wrote this review, and the enormity of the progress of time, how long I’ve been...

Give Them a War Room: Player Facing Threat Maps

by Josh Storey | Apr 26, 2024 | Game Mastering, Tools for GMs

I love foisting eldritch artifacts or ancient magics onto their shoulders. I take glee in giving them influence within an important organization and seeing what they’ll do. It allows me to ask tough questions about how and when they use their great power responsibly (thanks, Uncle Ben). Plus, it gives my players the power to enact real change in the game – something all of us can sometimes feel powerless to do in our real lives. (My group’s go-to power fantasy is making the world a better place.)
