Mine had a little X to close - but I’m on mobile.

As others have said said, it’s a tough question. I find there are two straightforward ways: you can humanize some monsters - such as by having the party meet someone civilized that they like and later reveal they’re a monster. they’re misunderstood, but neither more good nor evil than anyone...

Cheerful music wafts from a circle of brightly colored wagons ahead of you. A pair of dancers spin to the music, twirling brightly colored scarves as they do, receiving a scattering of applause as the song concludes. The largest of the wagons has a small tree growing from its roof, hung with a...

I have much the same aversion - I think PDFs are well and good for reference and stuff, but I simply can’t stand sitting and reading them. I think at core of the problem is the fact that most PDFs are made for reading on paper, and the world hasn’t quite caught up to the idea that even the best...

Gearing up for adventure can be complicated. You have to find a suit of armor that offers you the right balance of protection, flexibility, and weight, and sort through a list of hundreds of options to find the deadliest weapon that suits your skills. Then, you have to pick a different...

"How'd you rest?" "Well, I lay down, closed my eyes, and waited. I also looked up rules in eight different chapters to make sure I healed back up to full resolve correctly." All joking aside, the rules for resting in the Starfinder Roleplaying Game are spread out between nearly every chapter...

Most likely, if you’re reading this, you’re a gamer. And I hope a dictionary of every term in gaming interests, and even helps you. But it isn’t really for you, it’s for your friend. That one who is a little interested in playing, and has tried a few sessions but has never been able to get...

Dice are random. This sounds quite obvious, but they're perfectly random, and that isn't always fair. Dice cards, however, are both random *and* fair, as they give less randomness over a given set of rolls, but an equivalent amount of randomness over time. Replacing dice with cards is a...

What class do you give to a new player? A bog-standard fighter guaranteed to be outclassed by 5th level? A Ranger who will need to ask questions every other round? A top-tier wizard who can outshine everybody but needs the GM to select spells for between sessions? An unchained rogue who is...

Do you hate traps? Don't kid yourself - you hate them. Their very nature makes them hard to enjoy - nobody knows about them until after they've sprung. But maybe, if you had a deck of cards that gave you cues, you could give players a hint as to what's coming. Maybe, by making traps more...

Sitting on a disk dozens of miles across is a city of metal and glass. Yet, for as intimidating as it appears from a distance the streets are a riot of warm colors and filled the soft sounds of laughter and good cheer. This is the city of Orbi: home to the exotic Nomi and galactic hub of...

Do you hum and haw over skill selection? Are you a GM whose players are always trying to use skills in ways they weren't intended for? Do you know a player who is struggling to learn what each skill does? Straight Skills is an optional subsystem compatible with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game...

Are you looking for a way to add more description to your game? Why not start with giving a little more character to your characters! It gets tired and stale when characters just ‘say’ things all the time, when they’re ‘friendly’ or ‘hostile’ instead of being ‘an adoring fan’ or ‘concerned...

Do you play a mid-level wizard? Do any of your players? Or, perhaps someone you know has a raven familiar? Do you want a quick reference on the flying rules to make sure you have everything right, as easily as possible? Well, I know the answer to that last bit is "yes!", so you need How Do I...

Do you like to play stealthy characters? Do you want an ability to do so in a meaningful way even as your other party members causing trouble? Or when you are opposed by dozens of diverse creatures? Then you want The Stealth Scale. The Stealth Scale is about making sneaking around...

The cold chill of death fills the air. You spot a single figure standing at an awkward angle, its flesh pallid and its eyes unfocused. It turns towards you, and you instantly know... zombie! And Then... Zombies features a collection of elements can be added to nearly any encounter or...

Incorporeality is one of the easiest to misunderstand rules in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game - and there are a lot of good reasons for it. It's something that has worked differently in every iteration of the game so far, and it's not even the same in the different places it appears in the...

Does your party always roll their eyes when they have to pick someone to keep track of the treasure? Do you hate figuring out how much money each minion carries to keep your players from going over their WBL? Do you want Charisma to have a reason other than Diplomacy not to be a dump stat...
