Lastly, in an effort to transform his well-fed body, P90X, Roller Blades, and Food are all laughing at him. And the pain continues.

How many times have you tried to influence how your players play their characters? “You need to get into character more.” “Give him a background.” “Give him goals.” “Give him morals.” “Give him quirks.” “Make him different [Read the article]
