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.

Words and Wonders Wednesday: Melodrama

Ah, so you have questions, do you? Concerns? Fears about how to captivate the players at your table? First of all, don’t think of the table as a simple, flat, lifeless plank of wood, but rather a crackling campfire with attendees eager to be festooned with fright by your paralyzing tales.

Tactical Tuesday: Operation Ruinfall

The story unfolds in the crumbling industrial underbelly of Tasrin City—a swampy, corrupt port town that sweats oil and smog. The squad has commandeered an old factory—what used to be a meat-packing plant during the good times.

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.

Frights & Fables: The Anatomy of a Cryptid Tale

Good evening, dear readers, and welcome once again to Friday Frights and Fables!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the spectacle of Rumble City may have concluded, but who says the action has to stop? The legendary moments, the jaw-dropping moves, the unforgettable wrestlers—they’re all ready to step back into the spotlight.

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.
