Table top games take us back to the good ole gaming days, before we had to plug in to play.
Adventuring as a Mid-Life Crisis
A heavyset man in boiled leather armor dismounted from what looked like a hard-shoed plow horse, and approached the seneschal's table. The man didn't look like much at a glance. He was tall and broad-shouldered, it was true, but his wide middle looked more at-home behind the bar of a tavern, and what hair he had left was starting to go gray. The sword at his side was old, and dust still clung to the grooves of the hand guard, but he seemed familiar enough with it.

It was a cold day in the Forgotten Realm when a priest from Neverwinter found a small Sun Elf girl covered in blood on the road near Neverwinter Wood. She was small, and couldn't have been more than a child, young for even a human's standards. She had golden eyes, and ebony hair, with sunkissed skin. The priest had heard about such elves, but none had been seen in a long time, not since the elven migration...

The garou in Werewolf: The Apocalypse have a lot of customs and traditions, many of which go back for thousands of years, and are specific to particular tribes, camps, and so forth. While I've played a variety of chronicles in this particular game in both the tabletop and in LARP settings, though, there is one, particular tradition (a formality, really) that I feel gets overdone to the point that it becomes a rote reflex. And doing that, I think, reduces it to just another game mechanic rather than actually marking events as special, or noteworthy.

Technology has become paramount in shaping attendee engagement and satisfaction in a world where traditional events rapidly evolve into immersive experiences. The events industry in the UK, known for its dynamic and innovative approach, is no exception to this trend.

This shift from passive observation to active participation has given rise to a new era of intelligent event solutions, where iPads are emerging as game-changers.
Isabela HicksonPublished 7 months ago in GamersThe Honor of "DM/GM" in Dungeons and Dragons
I am a HUGE Dungeons & Dragons fan. I have always LoVeD fantasy stories, and games. Dragons, faeries, elves, adventure, saving the realms and kingdom! I love roleplaying, I am the girl that who will go to the Ren Fair dressed in a FULL faerie get-up. Hand made and everything. If I had ever found a LARP community nearby, you can bet that I am so there. In essence. I'm a giant freaking nerd and I'm super proud of it. I never actually got to play the real D&D until earlier this year though, due to never having found a group.

There are certain sayings that have become associated with me over the years as a player. While my most infamous is, "It is always better to do the thing," perhaps the most infamous line most players and Game Masters associate with me is, "Vehicular combat is always an option!"

Understanding the Art and Creation of TTRPGs: Tabletop Roleplaying Games (TTRPGs) are a type of game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting and engage in collaborative storytelling.

I've Played 100 Different Board Games
I had a mission this year to play 100 different games - not necessarily new-to-me games (because I didn't want to put THAT pressure on myself to buy more games ... although I think I did that anyways), but just 100 unique games so that I could play a variety and potentially try new game mechanics.

In the heart of a bustling city, where towering skyscrapers cast shadows over crowded streets, there was a basketball team that had never been in the spotlight. The "Metroville Miracles," as they were affectionately known, were a group of underdogs with an unassuming lineup that lacked the superstar power seen in other teams. But what they lacked in flashy names, they more than made up for in heart, grit, and an unbreakable bond.
