Tactical Tuesday: Know Your Enemy

Alright, listen up, rookie. You’re running a military campaign, and your players just walked into the wrong stretch of nowhere. They’re not up against an orderly line of enemy troops, but the dirty underbelly of warfare—the shadows of the battlefield. Brigands, marauders, guerrillas, and raiders. They’re not the same breed, so don’t treat ‘em like they are. If you do, your TTRPG loses its edge, and worse, your players won’t respect the danger they bring. You’ve gotta know who they are, what they want, and how to use ‘em if you’re gonna make their lives hell.

Mazes & Mondays: Building the World

Designing believable worlds is on my mind a lot lately, perhaps because I will be discussing world building in the upcoming ConCarolinas; perhaps because I am currently involved in some heavy, fantasy worldbuilding, adapting my original world of Sundrah into a new fantasy world that has grown out of the first., It doesn’t matter, what does is that the process is treated with the respect it deserves. With that dear sword bearers, I give you the following article which may help to simply the matter for you. Enjoy.

Mazes & Mondays: The Weapon of Choice

When it comes to crafting a fantasy character, few choices carry as much weight as their weapon. It’s not just a tool for combat; it’s an extension of who they are, a symbol of their past, and a hint of their goals. A weapon can tell the story your character hasn’t spoken aloud yet, and in the right hands, it can deepen the immersion of any roleplaying experience.

Tactical Tuesday #13: Tough as Nails

You’re out here alone. You’re not carrying every weapon Rambo ever used. Pick your gear smart—rifle, sidearm, knife, maybe some explosives if you can handle the spice. The key is mobility. You’re not a juggernaut. You can’t outlast a squad. But you can outrun them, outthink them, and hit them where it hurts before they know you’re there. A speed kill is a clean kill, and clean kills mean you’re still breathing.

Mazes & Mondays: Ways of Getting There

Travel is an unavoidable part of adventuring, yet pinning down the right mode of transport—whether it’s a sturdy war horse or a sky-soaring dragon—has always felt like a hassle.
