The Long Inexperienced Path
Ielenia was scowling as she held the reigns that were attached to a set of oxen that was set up to a wagon. Luna was walking just ahead, scouting for 'danger' and supposedly the halfling was watching the mirror. Two days ago, somehow her and Luna were convinced to go with the halfling and escort the strange dwarf and human to a small town called Phandelvar south of Neverwinter.

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.

The Elf and the Girl That Found a Halfing
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...

Name, Rank, and Serial Number in Werewolf: The Apocalypse
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.

Why These Nostalgic Games Feel Like Home
Writing my first gaming article online was about a younger version of me. Picture a younger me, wide-eyed and grinning, as my dad handed me a shiny new game disc. Little did he know, he was not just giving me a game; he was gifting me a piece of my childhood, a ticket to adventure, and a path to the gaming world.

The 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 who will go to the Ren Fair dressed in a FULL faerie get-up. Handmade 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.

Vehicular Combat is Always an Option
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!"

Tarkov's Patch 13.5: My Initial Impressions
Well, we have finally arrived. Patch 13.5 is out and with it came a slew of new changes, updates, and of course, a fresh wipe to satiate us until the real game begins in December. But in the meantime, there is still a lot to go over with these changes. I figure for now because it’s still so early, we can just do a brief overview of the patch notes and talk about it. And then in future videos, we can go over individual changes more in depth as they become more prevalent. So, be sure to subscribe if you are interested in those future videos. Otherwise, let’s not waste any more time. Patch 13.5 has a solid set of patch notes. Some good, some decent, and others that could be interesting down the line this wipe.

Random Loot Containers in Tarkov are Interesting
So, one of the newest features to come alongside patch 13.5, was the introduction of containers in the game having potential “random” spawns across the map. Basically, the idea behind it was trying to break the monotony of always knowing exactly where loot spawns on a given map and giving that idea a shakeup. I suppose BSG wasn’t a fan of the Jaeger stash running meta, and that was ultimately the catalyst for this change to not only those stashes, but all loot containers in the game. With a few exceptions. Initially, I was very indifferent about containers spawns being chalked up to some more RNG in Tarkov, but after some more time just playing the game and experiencing the moments, both where you find no containers where there normally are, and times when there are more than what’s normally there, I think it’s a net positive as a whole, but other than to just ruin stash runs, I suppose my main question is still, why?

The Timeless Appeal of Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, initially released in 2011, continues to stand as a hallmark of role-playing games (RPGs) even a dozen years later, in 2023. It’s not often that a game achieves such longevity in an industry characterized by rapid evolution and a constant influx of new titles. Skyrim's endurance is not a matter of chance but is grounded in several fundamental aspects of its design, storytelling, and the open-world framework that have ensured its lasting appeal.
