I’ve been into RPGs for a while now, and I’ve enjoyed both playing in and running the game. I guess I’d split running vs. playing as 50/50, so I’ve had my fair share of game masters to learn from, and plenty of time to solidify my own style. I recently sat in a game with a brand new game master, and (like usual) had a [Read the article]

Isn’t the RPG community awesome? You can always count on them to step up when needed. Check out this bundle… It’s the “Hurricane Harvey Relief Charity Bundle.” “Hurricane Harvey, the most powerful hurricane to hit the continental US in a decade, has devastated the Texas Gulf Coast.

Have you heard the hoopla? Kort’thalis Publishing came out with a scenario for their flagship game, Alpha Blue. However, there may have been a few people (namely OneBookShelf) who thought that “Guardians of Galaxy XXX” sounded a little too familiar to a certain current big budget movie.

It’s throwback-time, where we revisit an awesome article from years ago… I have not played in many groups. That stands to reason that I have also not experienced many GMs. However, even with this shortfall, I feel that I have learned, like tons, from my current GM, which has made me appreciate “the game” more and more. One thing that is just such a breath of fresh [Read the article]
It’s Throwback-Thursday, where we revisit an awesome article from years ago… You know the drill: A group of gamers get together, one’s a GM and the rest of us are players.

*Edit: This awesome encounter has been revised. Go here to check it out! How many times have you watched a bar room brawl on TV and thought, “Cool. Too bad it doesn’t happen like that in real life.”?

Where Charisma Keller goes into what makes Snake Plissken such an iconic character, giving ideas for your own Mr. Badass.
When I sit down at a gaming table, I want to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women… err I mean, I just watched Conan the Barbarian and felt tingles in my wingles. What a great movie, right? And the music, inspiring. Anyway, as I was saying, when I sit down at the gaming table, I want to [Read the article]
