How to Build The Dread Pirate Roberts in The Pathfinder RPG
His name strikes fear into the hearts of merchant captains everywhere. A pirate lord whose cruelty is only whispered of, and whose thirst for blood is matched only by his rapacious hunger for treasure. The black mask beneath black sails, the monster at the helm of Revenge is a true terror to all who would sail the high seas. The man known only as the Dread Pirate Roberts.

Why Games Should Never Be P/C
There's been a flicker of controversy around Stardew Valley, the Life Sim / RPG farming game by Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone. It concerns a guinea pig and his treatment. One of the NPCs has a pet guinea pig who is, apparently, being kept in substandard conditions for the animal's needs.

You Should Introduce Your Kids to D&D and Here's Why
For some, a tabletop RPG is more than a game. It's a world, not entirely separate from our own, that lives and breathes, that has rules and consequences, and that affects how some of us live our real lives.

The Fireborn's Will - Tale of the Sunsinger
The snow fell upon the rocks overlooking the lake, the water lapping against the rocks below. The sparse vegetation was a vibrant green, swaying in the breeze. This far north (and in times like these) it was a miracle that anything survived at all.

Motivating Players
The campaign is getting slowly into shape, but I still don't have the details of my players. I have no idea what kind of character they're gonna play, except for one guy, he's amazing and he's going to play a female halfling, a cleric. I even got her background story already.

Roll(20)ing In
Okay, so, in my last post, I figured out what my campaign would be about, what the ultimate goal would be. I tried to start writing the first adventure of my campaign, but boy, that's hard! Especially when you do not have the details on your players' characters. I don't have the slightest clue what their characters are going to be like, since my boyfriend and two of my friends are incredible roleplayers and try to do something new every time, so I'd wait for their characters and character backgrounds before I can write everything down.

Horizon Zero Dawn
Horizon Zero Dawn was one of the biggest games to come out in a long time. I wanted to share my honest views of the game. In all honesty, it very quickly became one of my favourites. Quite often I may get bored if a game’s opening hour doesn’t catch and keep my attention, and I’ll stop playing. This wasn’t even close to being the case with Horizon. The beginning of the game puts you straight into Aloy’s shoes as a young girl and you’re introduced to her, her guardian and the people in the ‘tribe’ and you see how they treat her straight away. After a little bit of investigating as child Aloy and the tutorial, you then meet adult Aloy and get properly into the gameplay.

Character Reputation in RPGs: The Small Legend
It's that time again. You're all sitting around the table, dice drawn up in a phalanx protecting your character sheet. Sweat is rolling down your Dew, and your mouth is dry from potato chips and anticipation as the head honcho stands up at the end of the table. He looks you over, and asks the same question he always asks when you start a new campaign.

On Game Mastering For Fun
So I'd like to start by making it clear that I am in no way a GM god. I started playing D&D like, 10 years ago and for some reason, it seemed like I was the only dude with enough disposable time to take up the mantle and just do it.
