How to Build Jon Snow in the Pathfinder RPG
Jon Snow, the bastard of Winterfell, was one of the foremost members of the Night's Watch, eventually rising to become the Lord Commander for a time. A good man among thieves, killers, rapists, and worse, Jon went north as soon as he was old enough for his oath to be accepted. With his dire wolf Ghost, Jon has braved the perils of the untrodden forests, fought both with and against Wildlings, and seen things that would turn an ordinary man's blood to ice. The following guide is for players who want to recreate Jon in the Pathfinder roleplaying game as accurately as possible.

How to Build Melisandre "The Red Woman" in the Pathfinder RPG
Melisandre of Asshai, more commonly referred to as the Red Woman, is one of the most enigmatic characters in Game of Thrones. A devotee of the strange god R'hllor, she is a priestess who seems greatly concerned with the forces of darkness marshaling against the world. Despite her concern, though, she is willing to take ruthless, even brutal, action to make sure those forces don't succeed, making us wonder whether she's simply a different shade of dark than what she claims to fight. For players who want to bring someone like this enigmatic follower of the Lord of Light, here's a guide to help you get started.

Tales from the Table
Hi, and welcome to the first chapter of Tales from the Table, my little neck of the RPG woods. In these blog type thingies, I will have stories of past games, tips and tricks for both players and GMs alike, as well as little bits of humor and ra nts...mostly rants. I'm going to try to do this weekly, but I'm a lazy sod so I wouldn't count on it. Mostly, this is going to deal with 1st to 3rd edition D&D, because I hate 4th and haven't played 5th, and with a few other games thrown in for color

Homemade Board Game for Up to 6 Players

Do You Know the Rules of Monopoly?
Millions, possibly billions, of people will say they know how to play Monopoly. I won't dispute that, but I wonder how many know the actual rules.

Robert James Fischer
Robert James Fischer is considered by many to be the greatest chess player of all time. He was born on March 9, 1943 in Chicago, Illinois. His mother was homeless when he was born. She studied for a master's degree in nursing after they moved to New York city, and started working in that field. Who his father actually was, is under debate. It could have been either the German biophysicist Hans-Gerhardt Fischer, or the Hungarian mathematician and physicist Paul Nemenyi.
