Throw Barbarian Build In Diablo 2 Resurrected
The Throwing Barbarian, like its Frenzy Barbarian counterpart, has excellent mobility thanks to its ability to acquire Frenzy "stacks" that increase movement speed with each successful hit. Common farm spots for this nimble melee/ranged hybrid are the Countess in the Forgotten Tower and the "Hole" dungeon in Tamo Highlands in Act 1 or Travincal in Act 3 for the council members, who can drop a plethora of good magic items. This is where the barbarian's unique Find Item skill comes in handy.

Why I Switched to Online D&D
So, some backstory. I was first introduced to D&D around 9 or 10 years old when I saw the 1st edition Monster Manual at a cousin's house. I still remember the picture of rot grubs burrowing into a man's arm, and that image branded itself into my young mind with frightful clarity. This intrigued my inner geek, but that wasn't the sort of game my parents would let me play. Instead, I opted for the Endless Quest series, of which I still have the original 36 books and a smattering of others in a similar series. Return to Brookmere to this day is dear to my heart, as is the wonderful, eternal art of Jim Holloway.

The Blackguard
His cell was quite damp. Water dripped quietly down the slimy cobbles of the walls and pooled onto the worn stones of the floor. The iron bars were etched with complex golden glyphs to prevent his patron from speaking to him and to keep his powers from getting him out. The dread and guilt haunted him as well as the awful nightmares, day and night. When Vol’mar’Ek entered his life several decades ago with a promise to remove these fears and his remorse over the loss of his wife.

The Evolution of a Female Gamer. Top Story - May 2022.
When I was a kid, I was one of the very few girls who played video games. It wasn’t something that girls did back in the 1980s. Little girls were supposed to play with Barbies and baby dolls. They were supposed to play dress up and pretend to be wives and mothers, I guess in preparation for their adult lives. While I did play with my Barbies on occasion, usually with my cousins, I didn’t pretend Barbie was dating Ken or was always dressing up for parties. Barbie had real issues to deal with in her life. My Ken was often a murderer and Barbie had to solve the crime before the other Barbies were victims. Sometimes Barbie’s life was normal, but most of the time I preferred to play with Star Wars action figures, Legos, and Hot Wheels because there was more action to them. As the gaming industry began to develop, I started to shift to more video games. I was unknowingly laying the foundations of becoming a gamer.

The Ascetic Wizard
The man was not what any of them had expected. He sat atop a stone plinth, his legs folded beneath him, his eyes closed. The breeze tugged his long hair and beard, and his skin was tanned dark by his time in the sun. He wore simple garments that were beginning to fray around the edges, and a necklace of large, carved beads.
