Getting Your Character a Life
One of my favorite things about D&D is character creation. It is fun, and often addicting, to come up with different combinations of race and class, rolling stats, and equipping characters. For those who enjoy lore and character-driven role play, establishing your character's place in the many D&D settings is the most thrilling. Finding ways to weave your character into the fabric of Faerûn, Eberron, or a homebrew campaign setting is challenging, and often requires puzzle solving and logic skills to do properly.

How to Build Reinhardt in the Pathfinder RPG
Reinhardt Wilhelm was one of the most recognizable figures in Overwatch. A massive crusader who distinguished himself in many battles against the omnics, he was both one of the organization's greatest champions and harshest critics when it misstepped. Forced to retire due to his age, Reinhardt refuses to sit meekly by while chaos and darkness run rampant across the world. Donning his old crusader armor once more, he acts like a knight errant, doing good where he can and swinging his colossal hammer to remind the world there are still heroes willing to fight for what's right.

5 Tips For Playing Better Sorcerers
Magic is a potent force, requiring years of study and dedication to fully master. There are some, though, whose very blood runs with power. The subject of myths and legends, magic is a sorcerer's birthright. Able to accomplish on instinct and intuition what even the most brilliant wizards may take decades of study to grasp, sorcerers are subjects of fear as often as they are of awe.

5 Tips For Playing Better Rangers
The wilds of the world are dangerous places, filled with strange beasts and hungry monsters. Most would never step off the beaten path and risk getting lost in these expanses. There are some, though, who are at-home in these huge, empty tracts, who have the skills to survive away from the hustle and bustle of towns and cities, and who can fade into the foliage like ghosts at the first sign of a threat. Valued allies, and deadly enemies, rangers are masters of the untamed wilderness. However, they are often seen as nothing more than that. If you've been looking to step outside the box with your next ranger, consider the following tips.
