Tink-Tink-Boom vs. the Death Spiral: The Damage Mechanic in RPGs
Broadly speaking, every traditional role-playing game has some sort of system for tracking the health and well-being of its characters. Classically, as in Dungeons & Dragons, these are expressed as Hit Points. Other systems such as Savage Worlds or Vampire: The Masquerade use some sort of qualitative wound mechanic. For the purposes of this article, which will compare the relative merits of each approach, we’ll call the former approach Tink-Tink-Boom (or TTB for short) and the latter the Death Spiral.

Fleshing Out a Backstory...with Cards
GMs and players share a common problem – getting a group started. No matter the RPG or the genre, turning individual characters into an adventuring party, superhero team, supernatural coven or pack, etc. is hard, and yet it's essential for a good game. Group connections help to raise the stakes when something goes wrong and provides incentive for them to act.
Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana August: Races of Ravnica
I don't know modern MtG or Ravnica other then what we have been talking about on here and at D&D the last few weeks...but quick look I like this. Vedalken sound like I could totally play the blue elves like 'mystic elf' and 'magician of black chaos' from yugioh. I think I really like the race even if I never heard of it before.
Epic Monsters: Dagon (5E)
Lurking beneath the sloshing waves and crawling onto the Epic Monsters part of the Mythological Figures column is Dagon, the reptilian deep one or maybe Great Old One—as I’m realizing is not uncommon with Lovecraft, it’s hard to be certain. Let’s dive in!
STL vs. Reality: The Highs & Lows of 3D Sculpts
One of the interesting aspects of owning a 3D printer is that you come to appreciate the difference between a digital sculpt and its physical counterpart. Not all 3D sculpts are made for printing, and the consequences of using a digital sculpt that's not built for 3D printers can be disastrous for the end product.
