Tabletop RPG

There's a tradition behind Wizards of the Coast's Unearthed Arcana which goes all the way back to the original Advanced Dungeons and Dragons line of games, before even 2nd Edition AD&D or the consolidation of both lines into what we called 3rd Edition.

Every Dungeons and Dragons Dungeon Master has been there.

This post was inspired by two things: seeing that Riot Games are getting back into making tabletop games, and the recent announcement of the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, a sanctioned Wizards of the Coast product featuring the campaign setting seen every week on Critical Role.

Tabletop Role Playing Games have really seen a bit of a resurgence lately, thanks to programs like Critical Role, Stranger Things and The Adventure Zone.

This all started when I was given a copy of Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus by Wizards of the Coast, and while I do think it's brilliant, I wanted you to know they gave me one up front.

There have been a lot of really great superhero RPGs in the history of the genre.

Perhaps you're looking to take your Dungeons and Dragons game to a face-to-face format.

In previous articles, we have covered a bunch of beginner Dungeons and Dragons concepts -- how to be a dungeon master, how to turn your favorite books into Dungeons and Dragons campaigns, and how to play Dungeons and Dragons online.

Sooner or later -- and probably sooner -- you're going to say Okay, everyone roll for initiative when playing Dungeons and Dragons.

Okay, so you're running a D&D game.
