JRR Tolkien’s classic novels of Middle Earth, especially “The Hobbit” and the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, are perhaps the most fundamental basis for the Tabletop Roleplaying hobby. While other works of fiction – be they movies, books, or other art – may have been influential in helping to forge early roleplaying games like “Dungeons […]

Grow Up! (or Why Soulslikes Need Difficulty Sliders, And You’re Trash If You Think Otherwise)
To quote one of the many right-wing demagogues (they all blur together into one, annoying mass of noise, after a while): “Facts don’t care about your feelings”… and I’m about to drop some facts that might just hurt many a Gamer’s little fee-fees.
