Homemade Board Game for Up to 6 Players
Board Game I created this game just for fun and I have enjoyed playing this with my family, so I thought it would be good to share. The design of it is a bit crude, but it was good enough to get the feel of the game. Feel free to print out the board and the cards, and I hope you have many hours of enjoyment.

Do You Know the Rules of Monopoly?
Millions, possibly billions, of people will say they know how to play Monopoly. I won't dispute that, but I wonder how many know the actual rules.

Magic: The Gathering
Hello, I'd like to begin with a brief self-introduction. My name is Jason Pitts, and a few years ago, I decided to get competitive with Magic: The Gathering. I have been grinding PPTQs, Grand Prixs, SCG Opens, and any other tournament that I can.

Robert James Fischer
Robert James Fischer is considered by many to be the greatest chess player of all time. He was born on March 9, 1943 in Chicago, Illinois. His mother was homeless when he was born. She studied for a master's degree in nursing after they moved to New York city, and started working in that field. Who his father actually was, is under debate. It could have been either the German biophysicist Hans-Gerhardt Fischer, or the Hungarian mathematician and physicist Paul Nemenyi.

10 Backgrounds for Your Scoundrels
Every party has at least one member who doesn't play by the expected rules. Someone who's got an angle, who has contacts, or who knows just how to lean on somebody. They go by a lot of different names, too. The schemer. The blackguard. The thug. But one of the most applicable titles for them is the scoundrel.

How 'Pokemon' Got Me Through Poverty
Like most infants waddling around during the 90s, I grew up able to recite the Pokemon animated TV show theme song before knowing my multiplication tables. Okay. I still have trouble with multiplication. Regardless, the Pokemon franchise has always had a special part of my childhood and had later, on several occasions, helped me survive the years going into my adulthood.

'Critical Role' Kickstarter Hits $7.5 Million in 48 Hours
I’m a special kind of nerd: One that obsesses over things such as Doctor Who, World of Warcraft, Destiny, etc. Once I get to liking something, you can’t shut me up about it. I’d like to introduce you to my husband, Scott. This fine man LOVES Dungeons and Dragons. It’s one of his highest passions to talk about, and I’m happy to hear about what brings out the spark in his eyes when he talks about something he loves.

Best Dungeons and Dragons Books for Tabletop Gamers
I'm, admittedly, a bit of a nerd. Well, not really a bit of one—I'm a huge one. I think the real precursor to being an official geek is whether or not you play Dungeons and Dragons. I'm not talking about any of the video game adaptions, I mean the real thing—playing mat, dice, and all.

My Journey to Gaming
This time last year, I scoffed at those who played Dungeons and Dragons, and outside of a few encounters that are best not talked about here, those who played video games were not looked at kindly. Then things changed. My friend introduced to the magical realms of DnD and now instead of partying it up on Saturday nights, I am laughing and setting imaginary fires on a kingdom that elves have declared war on.
