D&D

I am an ardent believer that not only is it fun to play a wide variety of TTRPGs, it can also improve your skill as a player or game master in every system you play.

There's been a lot of talk recently about fantasy racism in D&D (and plenty of other fantasy games), some of it by us.

The Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos sourcebook brings D&D fans to the magical university of Strixhaven for the first time -- but it's not the first time we've seen Strixhaven, which hails from the world of Magic: The Gathering TCG.

With the holidays fast approaching, I figured now is a good time to list a bunch of RPGs you may not have played and give you something else to do with your rarely-visited relatives.

Wrapping up his two-year Riatan D&D campaign, DM Matt Rossi throws everything but the kitchen at our hapless adventurers as they battle the final boss with the only weapon they have left: wild magic!

You really want to play a Halfling Barbarian, or a Warforged Druid, or for whatever reason, you rolled a character with no stats above 11 and you really want to play it despite it being utterly terrible at everything.

Not all Dungeon Masters will have the problem of having to wrap up a long-running campaign in a satisfying way.

It's always a bit sad when a DM and their players come to the end of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign.

In tabletop role playing, a system is the codified rule set used to represent the world and the player's experiences of it. Dungeons and Dragons uses a system based around a d20 dice roll, with modifiers that change the possible spread of numbers you can successfully roll, and other dice to represent things like the damage dealt to characters or monsters in the game's combat system.

One of the biggest pitfalls for novice game masters of any tabletop RPG is knowing how and when to say no to players.
