Ten NES Games You Don't Need to Play. Top Story - July 2017.
Welcome back to my retro reviews. I have always loved playing Nintendo, and from its vast library of great games, there come a few crappy games. These are not games that necessarily evoke feelings of wrath or revulsion, but nonetheless, they are games you can avoid.

Motivating Players
The campaign is getting slowly into shape, but I still don't have the details of my players. I have no idea what kind of character they're gonna play, except for one guy, he's amazing and he's going to play a female halfling, a cleric. I even got her background story already.

Roll(20)ing In
Okay, so, in my last post, I figured out what my campaign would be about, what the ultimate goal would be. I tried to start writing the first adventure of my campaign, but boy, that's hard! Especially when you do not have the details on your players' characters. I don't have the slightest clue what their characters are going to be like, since my boyfriend and two of my friends are incredible roleplayers and try to do something new every time, so I'd wait for their characters and character backgrounds before I can write everything down.

1 Hour Review: The Stanley Parable
Another game that I had gotten from the Steam Sale that had occurred over the winter holidays was The Stanley Parable. I had gone into this game knowing only that it was a bizarre game, with some rather odd things about it, and that there was a fair bit of narration in it. But, the thing that I didn’t know was just how important, or unimportant, that the narration was. This is not a game where you have to look through things, and then read, and then do more things. This is a game that had a full story written out in front of you, but is, to the best comparison that I can think of, a ‘choose your own adventure’ game.

Character Reputation in RPGs: The Small Legend
It's that time again. You're all sitting around the table, dice drawn up in a phalanx protecting your character sheet. Sweat is rolling down your Dew, and your mouth is dry from potato chips and anticipation as the head honcho stands up at the end of the table. He looks you over, and asks the same question he always asks when you start a new campaign.
