Over the next few weeks, we discuss a few different approaches to running plots in RPGs – this week, we’re defending railroad tracks.

Let's talk about the challenges of joining an existing gaming group.

This week, I want to talk about “Unknown Armies,” the weirdest game I've ever played.

This week, I share my stories about games played outside of Dungeons & Dragons, particularly Necessary Evil and Warhammer 40K.

This week, we examine how hard it is to change an RPG player’s mind once they have an idea… and how GMs can use that to their advantage.

This week, I recount the best opening scene I've ever seen in a role-playing game, and breaks down what made it so effective.

We need to talk about the cruel, mercurial nature of dice… and how they’re out to get all of us.

Today I want to share with you the story of a former character who left a lasting impact on the campaign world…

I was very, very busy during my second semester of playing D&D.

Sometimes you need to have a heart-to-heart with your group, in order to clear the air and solve your problems together.

This week, we touch on the rogue’s reputation as the untrustworthy backstabber… and whether or not it’s deserved.

This week, I discuss about how I retired my first D&D character early… and how the DM brought him back into the story as an NPC.

Mike shares the first time his DM threw a riddle at the party, and how it empowered one of the players to rise to the challenge.

This week, I recall a time when the party was split by a tough decision… and almost torn apart by absolutely terrible group communication.

This week, I share one of my favorite parts of role-playing games... the ability to improvise and do cool/stupid crap.

This week, I want to flash back to my introduction to the hobby, and the creation of my first D&D character.
