How to Build Teddy Roosevelt in 'The Pathfinder RPG'
Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of The United States, still stands like a titan of history. His career, from a boxer and cow puncher all the way to the highest office of the executive branch, reads like the bastard child of a documentary, and an action movie conceived while fighting off bears in the depths of the forest. Roosevelt was a soldier, a fighter, a stone-cold badass, and a lover of animals in all their various states. If you'd like to bring the rough-rider himself to your game, this guide should get you started.

Make an Engaging and Enjoyable D&D Campaign
Immersive Planning It is important that when you plan your campaign, you ensure it is immersive. Your players should drawn into it and make them want to become the characters they are playing and interact with your world. Think of it in a ‘game logic’ type of way. A game is more immersive when you can interact with things, if it is open world and if the characters in it have more depth.

PS4 Exclusives that Crushed the Xbox One
As we enter the final greatest hits era of the current-gen consoles, I think it's fair to say we've seen some magnificent titles over the last five years. And that even goes out to Microsoft, too. Because as much as I'd like to fangirl over the idea that Sony produces the superior exclusives, I can also vouch for Xbox and some of their golden titles, too. But sadly, as I look back over the years and try to shove back the biased opinion over the two consoles, I still always manage to come to the same conclusion. And that is that Playstation just has better games overall. I'm sorry if that offends certain players, and I bloody know it more than likely will.Yes, I've played Forza. Yes, I've played Gears of War. But do those two or three good experiences make up for the handfuls of stunning journeys I've encountered with the PS4 exclusives? No, I'm afraid not. Because Sony knows how to make a good game, and once they produce gold, they strike it and milk that mine for all it's worth.So let's take a look at some of the most memorable and successful PS4 exclusives to date, and should you be in a position to choose between consoles, perhaps this will whet your appetite for the better choice! *wink wink*It's not too late to switch sides, Microsoft fans. There's plenty of PS Exclusives for you to get your hands on. And when the time finally arrives where you can pick up current-gen consoles for bargain prices, hopefully, you'll know what to do.Allow me to enlighten you.I present to you, PS4 EXCLUSIVES THAT CRUSHED THE XBOX ONE.

'Destiny' Releases New Cross-Save Feature
On August 21, Bungie released the ever-anticipated Cross-Save feature for Destiny. This feature lets you pick one account, whether it be Xbox, PC, or PS4, and copy it over so you can play with your friends. It’s fantastic. Let’s say you’re on PC like I am... but your friends play on Xbox. Cross-Save lets you copy your guardians and account and make it the “main,” meaning that despite the system you or your friends play on, you’ll be able to join them in the vast and expansive universe known as Destiny. Everything comes with you. Exotics, seals, armor, etc., because let’s be honest, do you want to grind for Thorn or Last Word again? I know I wouldn’t. Cross-Save didn’t come without its problems though... Bungie released a tweet shortly after yesterday’s reset that it was “postponed,” which sent Twitter users into a frenzy. So much salt was to be had in Bungie’s Twitter that you could season a year’s worth of french fries. It all seemed to work out though, as Bungie finally let Cross-Save go live at 3:30 PM EST. Imagine my delight when I didn’t have to fight my husband over the Xbox so I could grind out my solstice armor. (Still in green though... getting there.)

'Need for Speed’s' Latest Installment Is Sure to Turn up the Heat
Need For Speed has officially returned for another installment of illegal street racing and continuously dodging the police.

Some of the last iterations have been criticized for straying away from what the fans were used to experiencing when firing this game up. But thankfully, Need For Speed Heat is getting back to the basics with a slick new coat of paint.

A Non-Gamer's Thoughts on Gaming
When it comes to video games, I'm a complete novice. I've dabbled in League of Legends and Wii Sports, but that's about the extent of what I've played. I grew up being told that games would melt my brain and would make me violent, and was kept away from them as a result. Any gaming system I had came with a lot of rules and time restrictions.

Super Nintendo or Playstation 2?
When it comes to what was the best system of all time, it usually comes down to 2. There is the Super Nintendo and the Playstation 2 (though a lot of people would argue n64 should be on the list). Both are great systems that deserve the title but we are here to pick one. I will give my vote at the end but let me know what you think. And for your vote you cannot include PS 1 games on the backwards compatible PS 2. It has to be based solely on Playstation 2 titles (but don't worry there are a lot of them).

7 Aspects of RPG Games that Make Me Laugh
Why Do You Need keys When You Can Shoot Fireballs Out Of Your Hands? Every game has locked doors that you need to find a specific key for that for some reason is randomly lying around the castle that you are in. But if you are a mighty warrior or wizard why not just knock the door down? You can take on hordes of giant monsters at a time but a wooden door with a padlock has you stumped? You could even blast the wall beside it. Now that I am thinking about it, it is the same thing with chests. Some games have a lock-pick skill but really is that more useful than the guy that can shoot fire out of his or her hands? And when you do get that treasure open you might find food which for some reason gives you life.
