Scythe: First Impression Review
Scythe can be many things to many gamers. It could be a war game, a worker placement game or an area control game. It all depends on your situations, your general strategy and the country you're playing.
Christopher SardaPublished 6 years ago in Gamers'D&D' Session Two - Faction Quests and a New House
I had so much fun playing Dungeons and Dragons with the motley crew of buddies at the local mall, I decided to go back for a second session. This post is a brief synopsis of the adventure and contains minor spoilers for Dungeons and Dragons: Waterdeep Dragon Heist.
Bringing Vampire Characters into a 'D&D' Campaign
One of the more powerful types of enemies players will encounter in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign are vampires. Whether they are the final boss of an adventure, or a random enemy who the party comes across, vampires in Dungeons and Dragons have numerous abilities that make them dangerous to any group. Yet every once in a while, a player will wants to create a vampire character. Sometimes this happens because a player’s character was turned into a vampire. Others merely want to have a character with the additional powers and traits that come with playing a vampire.
5 Tips for Playing Better Cavaliers
The only thing more dangerous on the battlefield than a skilled warrior is a skilled warrior who believes in something. And when that warrior is willing to back their sword arm with conviction that will keep them and their allies fighting long past the point of sense, battles that looked like certain defeats may become victories.
Neal LitherlandPublished 6 years ago in Gamers5 Tips for Playing Better Witches
There are Powers beyond the world we know, beings who tread the spaces between the realms, and who exist in places known only to half-mad scholars. Mysterious and distant though they may be, there are those who reach out to these beings. Those who are bold or foolish enough to establish a conduit with one of these forces will find arcane power is theirs for the asking... "but at what cost?" ask those suspicious of the witch's strange knowledge and dark curses.

Dungeons and Dragons (or DnD as it's more commonly known) probably conjures to mind images of nerds or pre-pubescent kids huddled in their parent's basement wearing silly costumes and casting fireballs at each other, and even though this illusion is changing due to the success of streams like Critical Role, I feel compelled to introduce more people to this imaginative game and the experiences it provides. So let's get started!

It takes a special player to take on the challenge of being a game master. Not all players make good game masters and most game masters are bad players. The trick is being good at both and being willing to put in the time.
Jeromy Schulz-ArnoldPublished 6 years ago in GamersTips for Building a Whip-Wielding Swashbuckler
One of my favorite things to do as a gamer is to find mechanics that are considered niche, useless, or which are otherwise overlooked and to find ways to make them extremely effective. Recently I've been looking at the whip, a weapon usually considered far too underpowered to bother using in Pathfinder, and figuring out how to put a little crack into it.

5 Tips for Playing Better Warlocks
There are some who are born with arcane power pulsing through their veins. Others earn this power through hard work and tireless study. For those who lack the former, and who do not wish to pursue the latter, there is another path. A path that seems easier, in many respects. Pacts are forever, though, and once you have made one there is no unmaking it.
Neal LitherlandPublished 6 years ago in Gamers How to Build Lyudmila Pavlichenko in the Pathfinder RPG
The second World War was a time of darkness and blood, where forces of authoritarian madmen committed atrocities that still seem unbelievable even in the light of the modern day. Legends were born on those battlefields. Some were shining beacons of hope and heroism in the shadow of evil, and others were grim harbingers of destruction born from the womb of war.
Neal LitherlandPublished 6 years ago in GamersTable Top Basics: Terminology
Sometimes gamers use some really bizarre lingo. I'm the first one to admit that two D&D players talking shop can sound like Klingon to the untrained ear. Here is a short list of twenty terms, in alphabetical order, that will help decode the gamer jargon.

It's not very often that I get to do two controversies in the space of a few days but it's also not very often that you see a company shoot themselves in the foot either! At least, I don't think it is. Just like last time, I'm going to try and link all the coverage that I can find. Let's get on with it.
