Unique D&D Character Goals That Inspire Roleplay Beyond Combat
Dungeons & Dragons is often remembered for its cinematic battles, clever tactics, and dice-fueled victories. But the true heart of the game lies in the quieter moments—the whispered vows around the campfire, the tense bargaining in a crowded tavern, the stubborn pursuit of dreams that can’t be solved with a sword.

Has Tarkov Gotten Easier or Harder?
(Intro) Tarkov has always be defined by its difficulty. Whether someone finding it insufferably challenging or another person on-ramping into the game with relative ease, what made Tarkov so notorious back in the day was its general difficulty. Anyone you would hear talk about the game would always mention first and foremost that it was one of the hardest games they’d ever played, especially for an online FPS. And to an extent, even in 2025, I agree with them. However, the game has changed a lot over those years. Additions, mechanics, audiences, expectations; EFT is not what it once was, for better or worse. And one of the things that has changed so much was the perceived difficulty of the game. Once again, people who thought it was hard still think that some think the opposite is true, and some have flip flopped their opinion for a variety of reasons. So today, let’s dive into those reasons and see if the game has gotten more difficult, easier, stayed the same or perhaps a secret fourth option; it was always both.

How To Build A Fantasy Wheelchair
One of the more common handicaps taken by players is the paraplegic, someone whose legs don’t work. In a modern setting, this isn’t a major problem as wheelchairs can be fitted with all sorts of motors, enabling the person to keep up with their less-handicapped peers. In a fantasy setting, however, there needs to be more thought put into the apparatus as it has to deal with some basic disadvantages, However, with a little thought and abusing the setting rules, it’s possible to devise a wheelchair with almost no major limitations, and that can be somewhat scary in and of itself.

Creative Flaws and Quirks to Make Your D&D Character Stand Out
When most players create a Dungeons & Dragons character, they focus on race, class, and stats. Strength scores, spell lists, and weapon proficiencies often take center stage. But if you want your character to live in your players’ and Dungeon Master’s minds long after the campaign ends, the real secret isn’t in the numbers—it’s in the flaws, quirks, and eccentricities you give them.

The Witcher vs Laser Beams
I've started playing The Witcher III: Wild Hunt - and quickly stopped playing it -approximately 17 times. Maybe 18 times. I've lost count really. Which is fitting for a game that requires you to keep track of approximately 17,000 different quests, characters, and locations across multiple massive areas.

Running Faster Battles is a Matter of Planning
Combat can be the bane of any game. A badly run combat can slow a game down, making an otherwise fun session boring and more of an annoyance. However, if the players and referee don’t mind a little preparation ahead of time and some extra teamwork, combats can be run quicker and much more efficiently. With a few basic options, combats will run much smoother and thus faster, allowing everyone to enjoy the entire session.
