Tracking Time in Dungeons & Dragons: Why It Matters and How to Do It Like a Pro
Time is one of the most underused mechanics in Dungeons & Dragons — and that’s a shame. Many Dungeon Masters are meticulous about hit points, initiative, and treasure, but leave the passage of time vague or undefined. As a result, the game world can feel oddly static, as if it exists only when the players are looking at it.

The Veterinarian Ranger
The dog was lying on her side, panting. She rolled her eyes, and whined, not getting up off her blanket. She tried to pick up her head, but that seemed like too much effort for her, so she laid it back down with a thump.

Checkpoint is Broken in Tarkov Arena
(Intro) Arena has essentially been multiple different games over its lifespan. When it first released, we used pre-built kits from BSG that were annoyingly bad and unbalanced, while working towards the next tiered kit we thought we wanted to use and would be fun, only to realize the fun was the grind towards the new thing instead of the thing itself. A year later, BSG completely did away with the pre-built kits and allows the player to fully customize their kits with some levels of restrictions. Alongside that, new modes and ways of engaging with Arena have been introduced. And for a while, things felt like they were genuinely better than they ever had been. However, recently, I have had some beef with this game right now; specifically with Checkpoint. Essentially, Tarkov’s version of domination from games like Call of Duty. Somehow, with every big update, this game mode feels like it’s getting worse. Just a bunch of smaller changes to mechanics and how the mode works that when put together create an experience that can be downright frustrating at times. At least Arena is still being adjusted pretty consistently, so it’s not like there isn’t room to make more changes that reverse a lot of what feels wrong, at least to me. But let’s have a conversation about Checkpoint in Arena and how it feels like the most broken game mode on offer right now. Granted, there are only four, but twenty-five percent isn’t a good batting average.

Top 3 Must-Try Paladin Builds Diablo 4 Season 11 Guide
Diablo 4 Season 11 finally brought the Paladin into the game, and it didn't take long for the class to settle into the meta. With a mix of holy magic, heavy melee damage, and powerful transformation mechanics, Paladin feels strong from early leveling all the way into high Pit tiers. Thanks to new systems like Disciple Oaths, Juggernaut skills, and Divine Gifts, the class has several builds that work well even without perfect gear. Among them, Judgement Paladin, Arbiter Wing Strikes, and Blessed Hammer have emerged as the most reliable and well-rounded options, capable of handling Torment 4 and endgame content with ease.

What Would Seasonal Tarkov Characters Look Like?
(Intro) Now that Tarkov is past its official launch, we have the full game in front of us. From here, we don’t really know much about the future of the game regarding additional content, expansions, DLCs, and anything else BSG would want to add to the game. With the exception of expanding scavs in some capacity down the line, you either play online with the PvP version of Tarkov or go against full AI enemies by yourself or with friends in PvE. And from the sounds of things, PvE is more popular than anyone anticipated it being. But what about an optional third way to play the game that has been mentioned on more than one occasion by Nikita for years now? Seasonal characters; similar to what something like Diablo or Path of Exile do where every so often your character that is on those servers will wipe consistently, meaning everyone will always be reset at the same time regardless of how deep into the game’s progression you are. We are unsure if this is still even on the table for Tarkov, but I think just the idea alone is interesting enough to be worthy of a conversation. So, let’s talk about seasonal characters in EFT; how would they work, whether or not they would be popular, would the behave any differently than how the game works currently and whether they are still even going to happen for Tarkov. We’re so used to wipes with this game and seasonal characters could be the answer for those who are still interested in resetting a couple of times a year.

Tarkov’s Full Release – 30 Days Later
(Intro) We have now crossed the thirty-day mark on the full release of Tarkov 1.0. And over the last year or so with any large change to the game, I like to come back after about a month or so has passed and reflect on what it’s been like, have the changes felt substantial to the game’s core loop and whether or not it was worth the wait. And while some of the additions have been incredibly interesting to experience and see come to fruition, it isn’t that the things added were bad per say; it’s that at least speaking only for myself, I was expecting a little more. More of the little changes; touch ups here and there, polishing up some of the mess that was left behind. But sadly, we haven’t quite gotten there yet. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves, let’s have a conversation about 1.0 and how after a month, it’s pretty much what I expected, even though my imagination ran wild with the prospect of 1.0 for years. The full release did what it needed to, but I wish there was more done.

Diablo 4 Season 11 Obducite Changes: Fastest Way to Masterwork Gear
In Diablo 4 Season 11, Obducite has quietly become one of the biggest roadblocks once you hit the late game. It's essential for masterworking high-end gear and pushing those final affix upgrades, but the way you earn it has changed enough that old habits no longer work very well. Obducite still drops from several endgame activities, but Season 11 adjustments mean some sources are far more rewarding than others, so it's worth being deliberate about how and where you farm it.
