RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution: Older Than You Look
In my campaign I have two elves, two tieflings, a human, and a gnome. Their age difference comes up more than you think.
Dungeons & Dragons  RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution: Who Invented the Ice Dragon?
Fire-breathing dragons are a well-known trope, but ice-breathing dragons are a relatively new beast to fantasy. Or are they?
RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution - D&D Tactics: Hikes
I go on a lot of Boy Scout hikes. If I were in an adventuring party in a fantasy world, I'd never make it.
RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution - D&D Tactics: Camping
As we try to makeup for lost time, we've been camping more than ever before. And that got me thinking about what happens when D&D characters camp.
RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution - D&D Tactics: Fortnite
When my family is not playing escape rooms, we're often getting together playing Fortnite. It's something that started with my son, but our three-person team now includes my daughter too. And there's a lot to learn about combat tactics from a third-person massive multiplayer shooter.
RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution - D&D Tactics: Escape Rooms
My family does a lot of escape rooms, and we've finally gotten good enough to finish one in record time. Those same tactics can help parties in tabletop games at conventions.

RPG Evolution - True Tales from Stranger Things: The Breakup
Stranger Things depicts what it was like to play Dungeons & Dragons in the eighties ... right down to the end of a campaign and in some cases, friendships.
RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution - True Tales from Stranger Things: The Satanic Panic Comes to School
Stranger Things' latest season incorporates the Satanic Panic into its storyline, but in my experience it wasn't the jocks who became the biggest threat. It was a teacher.
RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution - True Tales from Stranger Things: My Hellfire Club
Stranger Things helped thrust Dungeons & Dragons into the mainstream, but it also touched on a lot of gamer archetypes that I found in my high school group.
RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution - True Tales from Stranger Things: Satanism, Strategy & Clubs
The hit Netflix series about the 80s-themed tale of extradimensional entities and the kids who battle them features Dungeons & Dragons prominently. And a lot of it is inspired by what actually happened. There's a lot of things Stranger Things got right, but one of them that doesn't match my experience is the Hellfire Club.
RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution - True Tales from Stranger Things: Kids on Bikes
Stranger Things tells a tale of inter-dimensional entities battling kids in the 80s. To get around, the kids use their bikes, a genre that launched its own RPG. And yes, kids really did have that much freedom then.
RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution: How to Profit from Writing Reviews
There's a simple way to earn money or credit for your reviews even if you're not paid to do it: affiliate marketing.
RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution: Solving the Gnome Problem
I mentioned previously how I’ve never quite solved adding a halfling culture to my campaign. But I’ve got gnomes all figured out, and it starts with the Guilds of Florence.
RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution: The Trouble with Halflings
Over the decades I've developed my campaign world to match the archetypes my players wanted to play. In all those years, nobody's ever played a halfling.
RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution: Publisher vs. Algorithm
Publishing in the digital age isn't just about finding customers, it's about navigating the labyrinthine algorithms that determine when and where to show your product.
RPG Evolution 
RPG Evolution: Marshgate Castle Dragon Light Review
Need a light or a mounted dragon head for your game room? Why not both?
