table top
Table top games take us back to the good ole gaming days, before we had to plug in to play.
Dungeon Master
The fantastic game that is Dungeons and Dragons has come a long way since it was first introduced into the world in 1974. For the most part, people no longer believe that it is a gateway to the Dark Lord, nor that it is going to start making our little ones sacrifice to the almighty Baphomet (though, there are still some that believe that).
Roll Initiative
Even if you have been playing Dungeon & Dragons (D&D) for over forty years, there are still ideas that you can add to your repertoire and master, and if you’re thinking about taking the initial plunge into the realm of role-playing games, there a few basic player mechanics that you should learn. I’ve consulted with a few lifetime gamers around my city to come up with a short list of general game knowledge that will help anyone trying to get better at D&D. Adhering to this list won’t automatically make you a superior player in a few days, but they make you a better teammate and can potentially lead to greater things if you stick with it.

Shuffling, cutting, and splitting up my deck, has been an amazing adventure for the past twenty three-years. Building my deck's always consisted of carefully planning how I would bring about my opponents demise with a few drawn cards. Whether it was milling through their deck using my island deck or shutting them down with a few walls, magic cards, and my powerful minions.

After moving to a new city last year, I found it hard to make new friends. Life can be hard when you don't have many people to hang out with or get into trouble with. It wasn't until I found a small comic shop that I realized that friends were easier to find than I thought.

I am John Moore, some call me Boo Boo. I’ve been playing tabletop games for about 20 years, mostly card games. I also design games for fun and love to break down games to the bare mechanics and analyze. Let’s take a look at an awesome card game called EPIC by White Wizard Games.
Autistic GeekPublished 6 years ago in GamersRemilia: It's My Boyfriend's World, I'm Just Living and Playing in It
I'll be the first to admit: I had never wanted to learn how to play Dungeons and Dragons or anything like it. D&D had never been that interesting to me, and frankly, I didn't want to try and understand it. Nothing about sitting for hours on end, having to rely on certain rolls, ever struck a chord with me. I didn't understand the stats, didn't understand alignments, and didn't understand why a dice had to have 20 sides.
Katie MortimerPublished 6 years ago in GamersHow To Build a Grammaton Cleric in the Pathfinder RPG
The future is at peace. A place of prosperity, where all are cared for, and where each individual has a purpose. From old men to small children, everyone works to maintain the glory of their great society. Libria is a cold place, though, and despite its name, is a place of servitude. A place where emotion is a crime, and where every commission of sense offense is hunted down by the unfeeling warrior monks of the Tetragrammaton.

It was, I think, a Saturday night. I was 15. I had crossed the street to knock on a friend's front door, to find out if he wanted to do something and he told me, "I can't, I'm playing D&D." I had never heard of it.
Alexis D. SmolenskPublished 7 years ago in GamersYou Should Introduce Your Kids to D&D and Here's Why
For some, a tabletop RPG is more than a game. It's a world, not entirely separate from our own, that lives and breathes, that has rules and consequences, and that affects how some of us live our real lives.

The campaign is getting slowly into shape, but I still don't have the details of my players. I have no idea what kind of character they're gonna play, except for one guy, he's amazing and he's going to play a female halfling, a cleric. I even got her background story already.

Okay, so, in my last post, I figured out what my campaign would be about, what the ultimate goal would be. I tried to start writing the first adventure of my campaign, but boy, that's hard! Especially when you do not have the details on your players' characters. I don't have the slightest clue what their characters are going to be like, since my boyfriend and two of my friends are incredible roleplayers and try to do something new every time, so I'd wait for their characters and character backgrounds before I can write everything down.
Merle GrootenboerPublished 7 years ago in GamersOn Game Mastering For Fun
So I'd like to start by making it clear that I am in no way a GM god. I started playing D&D like, 10 years ago and for some reason, it seemed like I was the only dude with enough disposable time to take up the mantle and just do it.
