I might do a serious post on this later, but for now, I just want to have a little fun with it. So now, the stories of two groups trying to organize a game of Dungeons and Dragons and a World of Warcraft raid.
I try to poke a little bit of fun at everyone, as [...]
Anyone who knows my gaming habits knows I’m a huge Sega fan, and probably knows that I’ve given them a chance on a couple games I shouldn’t have, such as Shadow the Hedgehog. Some people are naturally on the same side as me, while others have their own preferences. It’s all cool either way, but [...]
The big gaming companies realized they made a bit of a mistake a few years ago. No, they haven’t collectively realized DRM is bad yet, though we can hope. What they have realized is that E3 shouldn’t have been scaled back, and now they’re going to fix it by making E3 big again.
For starters, I [...]
The holy warrior Warrick stands before the might of the dragon, defending his fallen comrades from the certain death they will face if he falls. He fights valiantly, but in the end, he is no match for the might of the creature before him… and as such the game ends in a TPK (total party [...]
It happens sometimes. You find yourself bored when limiting yourself to the hub city and surrounding areas, and you want an adventure that’s more world spanning, epic.

Different things make different people tick, so it’s hard to tell just what might motivate you to run your own roleplaying game. However, there are some common motivations many people have, and latching onto one of these just might be enough.
1) You have a story to tell, and need a way to tell it. This [...]
Now, just so there’s no confusion, I’m calling a classic video game any game from the 16-bit era or earlier. Classic can mean a lot of different things, and it does to different people, so I’m just putting out my own consideration from the start. Given that I started gaming on the NES, you shouldn’t [...]
Tired of the same bland battles over and over again? Want to shake them up a bit so your players need to look at the battlefield in a new way, perhaps even make it part of the combat? Well then, this is the post you’ve been waiting for! Here are some new, and possibly some [...]
It’s a fairly common lament these days. New games just aren’t challenging enough, or they lack gameplay, or any of a number of things people have to say about them. Old games look awful, are frustrating, and the list goes on. Some people care about some issues more than others. Of course, how do these [...]
