Table top games take us back to the good ole gaming days, before we had to plug in to play.
The Grimorium Squamosum
The dragon queen of Vanarland, Hilsendoriel, took the form of a human to write with a quill in the huge ancient tome covered in green dragon scales. She mixed the blood of the princess she had replaced with the ink, and the crimson letters smelled of salt, metal, and death. The book was ancient, even to dragons, being passed down from one dragon to another. It contained histories of lost kingdoms, stories of ancient dragons, lizardfolk, and viperians, and spells made by wizards and priests of the Cult of Scales. It was this tome that had corrupted Hilsendoriel, twisting her into a thing of darkness, and it was what had taught her the dark magicks that she used to steal the throne of Vanarland. Today she adds her own dark knowledge to it...

I'm of Two Minds: The Possesed Warlock
Kellard was in a jam. A dozen soldiers were headed in his direction. I told you your party would desert you. He exhaled. “Fine, but can you help me get out of this mess?” If I have to. I shall grant you my strength and assistance. Within moments, a demonic formed peeled off of Kellard, becoming a winged demon. A mere moment after, Kellard’s skin became darker as he became stronger, tougher, faster. Between the two, the soldiers didn’t last a minute. When the last soldier hit he ground, the demon faded and Kellard’s skin returned to normal. However, he was spent; he could barely move.

Lessons from the Golf Course: Discipline, Focus, and the Art of Performance
Golf was never meant to teach me anything about performance. At first, it was simply a way to slow down. A walk across wide green space, the sound of a clean strike, the quiet challenge of sending a small white ball toward a distant target.

The Family Totem: A Warlock Who is All About Honor Above Glory
Junpei had told Lord Ona that he would defend the gate, ensuring that no one would enter. Neko lay nearby, purring as usual, but then she woke up, ready for action. He asked the cat to walk over to where the attackers would come through; the cat grudgingly did so. He focused inwardly, becoming inspired and ready for battle. A demon entered the area before the gate; Junpei laughed at the illusion. Three samurai entered the area; he grinned at the challenge. They readied their bows. He had Neko grapple the leg of one of the samurai and concentrated for a moment. The samurai felt the chill of death as his life force ebbed from his chill touch. They charged. He summoned a glowing sword in front of him. The samurai sliced at him. Two of them hit. The glowing sword sliced one down. He himself sliced at another samurai.

I See Nothing But Dead People: The Ghostspeaker Wizard Sublcass
Xubachithl looked at the restrained wizard in front of him as he completed the ritual. The mage had secured his defenses with his physical presence; his body was his passkey. In moments, he would wear the mage’s skin as his own while the mage’s soul was trapped in the jar before him; the mage’s bastion would be his. Undead swarmed around them, the mage’s servants trying to rescue him, but as long as they were within the circle, he was safe. He had already animated some zombies to act as a distraction, but they were long gone.

The Spirit of Giving: A Warlock for the Far North
Ivan smirked. The barbarian punched him and he barely felt it. He punched him back, sending him back a good five feet. The barbarian charged, but Ivan twinkled his nose, disappearing in a puff of smoke and appearing behind him, looking a little more refreshed. He then hit the barbarian with a club he had himself made, with a lovely grip and a large clobbering end. The barbarian fell to the ground and didn’t get up. Ivan walked outside to a waiting sled, pulled by four glowing reindeer. “Tell him this is my region, but I’d love to drink with him!” Getting into the sleigh, he jerked the reins and flew off into the night.

The Nature Spirit Patron: When Warlocks Go Back to Nature
Thibalt hated when Oxnard and his band arrived in the woods. He would of course offer to be their guide, but only because his presence kept damage from the barbarian’s predatory instincts. This case was different: Oxnard had, unsurprisingly, ticked off a platoon of mercenaries, and so they were looking for help getting away from them. He sighed. Over the next few days, he made sure that they left no tracks due to his connection with the woods, talking them down from attacking non-hostile animals (which saved their lives multiple times, considering how any bears seemed to be about), and was able to negotiate help from plants to hide the barbarians.
