The 4 Most Common Holy Priest Mistakes
Whenever I write a post about being a healing priest, or more specifically a holy priest, I try really hard not to tell people what to do. I try not to make it seem as if there is only one right way to do things. Most of the advice that I give is meant to be taken as a suggestion or as something that I know has worked for me and that could possibly work for you. I have always been someone who is not afraid to try something new or break the mold when I can and I have always been really fortunate to be in guilds with great leadership that are as open minded as I am.

A Lifetime Of Me – Then And Now
Have you ever had one of those moments where you take a second to look around and you think to yourself ”How did I get here?” I have those moments more often than most people do, but I felt compelled to answer the question a bit more seriously after some other started a trend of writing posts detailing where their characters came from compared to where they are now.

Pressure
I feel like if I were a boy I would be less worried about my performance in a game than if I were a girl. Let me explain. I feel like when a woman puts herself out there, wherever it may be in the gaming world, she is automatically expected to either be completely bad at what she does, or is viewed with hesitation or apprehension. So when I do poorly at something, whether I didn’t show as high on the meters as I would have liked, or I didn’t win as many rounds in a tourney that I should have, I feel like I am living up to that expectation of me. I feel that I am proving that person right. I am just another terrible female gamer.

An Exploration of "Reverse Stereotype" Characters in RPGs
Stereotypes and tropes are a big part of storytelling traditions, so it's no wonder that they're also a big part of our RPGs. Whether we're talking about traditional high fantasy games, gritty modern horror settings, or post-apocalyptic romps, everything comes with its own symbolic language.

First Impressions of Holy In the Mists of Pandaria Beta
The other day I was one of the lucky ones who received a Beta invite during the final wave of invites that Blizzard sent out. I had heard a lot about what was happening with discipline, but I wasn’t hearing too much about holy. This worried me a little bit. While most of what I’m curious about involves our level 90 talents (which we can’t try out at this time), I still managed to do some questing, heal the first available instance a couple of times, and do some playing around on my own with our new talents and abilities for a while. Here are a few things that stood out to me, in no particular order:

A Beginners Guide to Cockatrice – Part One
I meant to write a brief post about my thoughts on experiencing the Limited and Limited draft formats for the first time over the last two weeks, as part of the Avacyn Restored pre-release and release day events, but I felt like I really needed to write this post first, in the hopes that it would inspire more people to get on board with this and ultimately give me more people to play Magic the Gathering with online.

Times Up
I had originally intended to make what I’m about to say in this post a topic for conversation on the next episode of my new podcast, but I felt like it might feel better to get these words and thoughts out of my head and on to paper – or the closest thing to paper that I have. I feel like getting things off your chest feels differently, depending on the method in which you choose to do it.

Good Game
I had always imagined that the first time that I cried around my boyfriend would be because of a particularly sad scene in a movie that we were watching or maybe because of a truly heartwarming gift that he would buy me for my birthday or for Christmas.

Why Women Are Seen Differently In Magic the Gathering Compared To World of Warcraft
Typically when I write a post it usually consists me of telling you how it is and then you comment to either expand on what I have just put out there or to say that you respectfully disagree and why. In this case, I wanted to write a story because I don’t know why something is the way that it is and I am hoping to start some discussion to find out for myself.

How I fell in love with Super Mario Galaxy
As a child, I enjoyed spending my time playing video games. I found it to be a form of escapism, as well as a wonderful experience where I enjoyed my time trying to beat this game. I had only ever played PC games like Harry Potter games, or minesweeper up to this point. This all changed in 2008 when my family bought a Nintendo Wii, which was the first video game console I had ever owned. So when we set it up after moving, my parents, siblings and I sat down to play the first game for this iconic system: Wii Sports.
