5 Tips for Playing Better Fighters
Fighters. They're one of the most straightforward classes in fantasy RPGs. If you're not sure who the fighter is, just look for the guy with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, barking orders and taking the battle to the monsters. While that image is iconic, it also misses a lot of the potential of the class. Worse, the stereotypical fighter is a character with no background (and no interests) off the battlefield. For all intents and purposes, the party may as well be traveling with an enchanted suit of plate armor that rolls initiative from time to time.

How To Build John Wick in The 'Pathfinder' RPG
They call him Baba Yaga... but John wasn't exactly the boogeyman. He was who they sent to kill the boogeyman. A legendary assassin with a shadowy past hinted at only by his tattoos, and the whispers told in the darkest corners of the Continental, Wick had left his old life behind. Until a couple of young punks decided to break into his house, steal his car, and kill his dog.

Best RPG Games for PS4
RPGs, also known as role playing games, are one of the oldest video game genres in existence. In the past, RPGs were all about reading text, possibly doing some point-and-click goodness, and typically focused on being an adventurer in a medieval fairytale world — much like the typical scenes in King's Quest.

Bringing Your Character to Life
Perhaps the most intimidating part of any D&D session is getting into character and actually roleplaying. This is especially true for beginners. There's no cheat sheet or instruction manual for how to feel comfortable interacting in character, and this uncertainty can lead to the closest group of friends awkwardly moving from fight to fight, while the DM pulls their hair out trying to get you to engage with the world they've made.

5 Tips For Playing Better Druids
The wardens of the wild, druids are seen as strange, primitive, and powerful. The keepers of nature, these casters are empowered by a force that's often older than the gods, allowing them to bend the raw elements to their cause. While they may be good, evil, or otherwise, there is no denying the potency of a druid who has chosen to take the field.

Shadow of War's Spotty Marketing
Shadow of Mordor, released in 2014 by Warner Bros. Studios, and developed by Monolith Games, was a bit of a shock for me. I had heard about it months in advance, but it seemed far too ambitious. My expectations were nothing short of it completely burning and crashing. And... well, it didn't. It exceeded my admittedly low expectations by quite the margin, and I was thoroughly impressed with it.

'Princess Maker 2' and 'Long Live The Queen'
Trailer for Long Live The Queen by Hanako Games Long Live The Queen and Princess Maker 2 are two of my favourite games available on Steam. Both games are often compared to each other for similar gameplay elements, but they are both fantastic games in their own right. Even though the games are similar, I have seen people who have played one, but not the other assume that they're both exactly the same.

Awesome Saturn Exclusives: RPGs
Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings , where I find the positives in maligned pop culture. I didn't get a chance to play the Sega Saturn growing up. By the time I was old enough to buy my own games, the Saturn was already being phased out. It's botched early launch, high price point that didn't lower until it was just about dead, and Bernie Stolar's poor handling of Sega killed it in only two years in America. I didn't get my first real exposure to the Saturn until I hooked up with my current squeeze (we've been together now for 11 years, thank you very much).

Breath Of Fire
The first Breath Of Fire (BOF) video game was originally a product of RPG giant Squaresoft. However, the ownership rights got shuffled around, and since the first sequel, all BOF games are the property of Capcom. Known for their action-adventure games, Capcom seems ill-fit for the RPG market. However, time and again Capcom has kept the familiar elements of the BOF story, while introducing new features, guaranteeing that playing a BOF game is never boring.
