Table top games take us back to the good ole gaming days, before we had to plug in to play.
What Are Relationships Like in Your Fantasy Setting?
Romance is a part of the earliest fantasy stories we hear. From mermaids who fall in love with sailors, to princesses locked in castles guarded by fearsome dragons who can only be saved by a suitor of pure heart, to the betrayal of a king for the love of the queen, so many of our stories include this element in their make up. The same can be said of a lot of our RPGs, because they either draw on these old fairy tales as part of their inspiration, or simply because it's part of the goals we have for our characters.

In the arid vastness of Namibia's desert landscapes, where the sun painted the horizon with hues of orange and red, a young boy named Deon Hotto kicked a weathered soccer ball across the dusty terrain. The rhythmic beat of his footsteps echoed the aspirations of a dreamer who yearned to transcend the boundaries of the Namibian sand and make a mark on the global soccer stage.

Note: Castles and Caverns is a homebrew solo tabletop roleplaying game I created. The following story is based on an adventure I completed, which in turn was based on a story idea I had years ago. I plan on setting many stories in this world.
Game On! Digital Age
The term "Renaissance board games" refers to a revival or resurgence of interest in traditional board games, typically occurring in the contemporary era, especially in the midst of the digital age. A newfound love for vintage board games and the development of inventive new games that take cues from classic designs characterize this renaissance.
Knights of the White Shield: Keepers of the Peace
Snowy mountain peaks overlooked the tiny village of Cliffbottom that had sprung up by the Wathwend River, a waterway that meandered between the vast Snowmane Mountains to the sea. It was a small community of Halfling and Gnome farmers and merchants attracted by the traffic in spices that had grown as trade with the distant Hmomshai Empire to the South flourished. A small port on the winding river where farmers could bring their crops to trade for spices brought by ships bound for cities of the North, Cliffbottom had been built just inland from the coast on the river delta as part of the expanding colonies of the Duchy of Vairone, in a forested wilderness that was thought to be uninhabited virgin territory. The Vaironese settlers had no idea that the river they called the Wathwend was the Sacred Road used by the spirits of the dead to go to the Island of the Dead. They could not know that the river was bathed in to cleanse the soul of sins, that the trees they had cleared from the river bank were the reincarnated chieftains of a hundred generations of savage human tribesmen, and they were not expecting the barbarian warriors to be willing to die to purify their holy river of the taint of civilisation.

Knights of the Pure Heart: Leading the Sinful to Redemption
The knight knelt down beside the murderous thief who sat on the ground bound with manacles in the gaol for his crimes. After the knight had captured him, the young man had been convicted of killing and robbing a merchant; he was going to be executed in the morning. “Be calm, my son,” he said softly to the criminal, “I mean you know harm. Just tell me, why did you do it? You don’t need to lie, you can tell me anything. I will never tell anyone, I am not here to condemn, just offer you a chance at peace.” The scurrilous cur spat at the knight and struggled against his chains. The knight did not flinch, just wiped away the spittle and smiled benignly and said softly “That’s okay, my son, I know you must be angry. Tell me, what makes you so wrathful?”

When we think of magic in Pathfinder, we usually think of the big, showy spells. Things like fireball and lightning bolt are usually top of the list, followed by other classics like raise dead or spiritual weapon. However, knowledge is power when it comes to any dungeon delve, and what you do with that knowledge can have an outsized effect at the end of the adventuring day.
