Tabletop RPG

This Saturday, November 14, at 2:30 P.M.

I recently had an interesting experience that led me to a discovery I'm pretty happy with.

This week, former Blizzard Senior Vice President of Story & Franchise Development Chris Metzen announced the formation of Warchief Gaming -- previously a gaming club and now a development studio for tabletop games -- and on the same day, Critical Role announced the formation of Darrington Press, which will also be focusing on tabletop game development.

One of the things I love about playtest content in Dungeons and Dragons is when it gets weird.

I'm not entirely convinced that Ten Candles is horror, exactly.

I don't know about you but for me, when I'm having a hard time figuring out a proper spooky adventure for an October D&D game, I like to have the entire party kidnapped by the Cleric's undead pirate cousin and, after fighting their way out of the hold of his terrifying demon haunted ship, make a bargain with Orcus, Demon Prince of Undeath, to dispose of two wicked artifacts that the evil doppleganger of their Wizard has been looking for.

The typical RPG campaign is an action adventure fantasy story, but the main difference between action adventure fantasy and horror is in the relationship of the player characters to the threats they face.

Last time we were all here playing D&D, some things happened.

Nothing kills fun in a tabletop RPG faster than a rules argument.

Yes.
