Table top games take us back to the good ole gaming days, before we had to plug in to play.
When The Battle Was Played
The two old men faced each other over the expanse of the battlefield. They had been here before. Over the distant field of battle their eyes locked on each other, their armies arranged in front of them. The two kings had been mortal enemies for time untold. Even over the vast space between them on the battlefield, their sneers of contempt were evident as their eyes locked with each other.

Romantic Chess
It’s difficult to think of chess today and not feel a little intimidated. The game is dominated by geniuses and computers to such an extent that learning to play it can be daunting for all but a few of us mere mortals. But chess has been many things in its long and storied life, and it was once so much more than a mere logical strategy game.

5 Backstory Ideas for Your Wizard in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D)
Wizards are the book learners of D&D. Their magic comes from endless study, whether that be at the hands of a mentor, in a military academy or the halls of a great wizarding school. Wizards aren’t born inherently being able to cast spells, though many might have some slightly adeptness for magic in general. Instead, they must study. Wizards may not be as spontaneous as sorcerers or bards, but they make up for it in terms of pure versatility. When it comes to the sheer amount of magic a character can learn, few can compete with the skill of a wizard. Unfortunately, wizards have low HP and AC, so while they have extreme power, it comes at the cost of being weak physically, and they need to be protected to shine. Now it’s time to come up with a few quick backstory ideas to help bring your character to life. Here are five intriguing ideas to use in your game, or to build off of to create a unique character you’ll love to play.

Eric M. Lang
Anyone who knows me knows that I love gaming. Video games are great for when I've had a stressful day; nothing eases stress like shooting some unknown video game enemy in the face, however I am also an avid board gamer. For most people, board games summon up images of people playing Monopoly and Scrabble. There is far more to the hobby than just the games available to us from the Argos catalogue.

5 Backstory Ideas for Your Sorcerer in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D)
The Sorcerer is the quick-casting, highly volatile arcane caster. Unlike the Wizard, the Sorcerer didn’t learn their magic through study. Instead, inherited bloodlines surfaced, whether passed down each generation, or dormant for centuries. The Sorcerer benefits from being able to twist their spells with metamagic or by being able to vary the number of spells they can cast each day. However, they lack spells known overall. The Sorcerer has lower HP than most classes, and has to be protected in combat, but will pay off by high damage ceilings. Now it’s time to come up with a few quick backstory ideas to help bring your character to life. Here are five intriguing ideas to use in your game, or to build off of to create a unique character you’ll love to play.

5 Backstory Ideas for Your Rogue in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D)

Now it’s time to come up with a few quick backstory ideas to help bring your character to life. Here are five intriguing ideas to use in your game, or to build off of to create a unique character you’ll love to play.

5 Backstory Ideas for Your Monk in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D)
Monks are masters of unarmed combat, often trained in mountaintop monasteries or alongside masters of martial arts. Monks are a versatile combat class with a number of abilities that grow stronger as they become more self attuned.

Now it’s time to come up with a few quick backstory ideas to help bring your character to life.
