If you think back to when you were little the world was a large and terrible place. When things are so much bigger than you it is imposing.
Dungeons & Dragons Monsters — Chokers! Making Adventurers Breathless
Dungeons and Dragons Monsters- Here comes the choker-
I did an article a while back called “Holy Crap! Nerdarchy’s Top 10 Scariest Dungeons and Dragons Monsters” where I talk about chokers and why I like them so much.
Excerpt From Holy Crap! Nerdarchy’s Top 10 Scariest Dungeons and Dragons Monsters-
“These guys were introduced in Dungeons and Dragons 3.0 edition. I instantly fell in love with these little creepers.

Dungeons & Dragons Monsters — The Voracious Troll Eats Adventurers as Appetizers
Hello Fans it is Ted and hopefully welcome back to another edition of Dungeons and Dragons Monsters. Today I will hopefully broaden your horizons in the views of the Voracious Troll.
Trolls are often used as just mindless killing machines, hell bent on killing and eating and the D&D Monster Manual says that they can be used as just that, but there is no reason to stop at what the book says.
How To Speeks Goblin | Miner
Welcome to this weeks edition of How To Speeks Goblin. Now any dwarf worth his beard would shaking with righteous rage to see the goblin definition of the word "miner", but not so with this week's goblin. He's busy whiling away at his chosen path. What can...
Dungeons & Dragons Monsters — Vampires vs. Zombies To The Undeath
I was inspired to write about Vampires vs Zombies after watching Spike TV’s Deadliest Warriors episode about what else, but Vampires vs Zombies of course.
Now if you’re gamer like me at first you’re thinking yea right zombie and vampire two undead monsters, but no way are they close to being equal when it comes to combat.
But honestly Deadliest Warriors does a really great job of analyzing these two classic monsters. Now they aren’t really comparing your traditional Dungeons and Dragons Monsters per say.
Dungeons & Dragons Monsters — Fear The Mighty Morphing Mimic
In this edition of Dungeons and Dragons Monsters I’d like to talk to you about Mimics. There are many ambush creatures in the various books of monsters, but there is a surprising lack of info in this very useful and deadly creature: The Mimic.
Now many of you have probably touched a statue holding a large gem or a massive treasure chest and got stuck. You then had a battle that either your friends had to fight for you, because you were stuck or you assisted in the battle and probably were victorious and then spent the next three sessions being super careful checking every lever, door, chest, and bizarre object so it does not happen again.
Tabletop RPGs and Board Games — The House Rules To Rule Them All
Hello my fellow gamers out there.
Do you play Tabletop RPGs or board games only with the rules out of the book or box?
If you do you are missing something great.
House rules be they in a tabletop rpg or board games offer many good and bad additions to the game. So be careful if you decide to go down that road. It is possible that if you make significant changes to a game you can alter the creators intent or completely remove the challenge that is implied with the rules.
However with subtle game play changes to your tabletop rpg or board game you can make something that you already enjoy that much better.

Ever have trouble finding a babysitter for the kids? Perhaps you'd like a referral from our goblin friends. Their favorite babysitter is equipped to ingest...
Dungeons & Dragons Monsters — Beware! There Be Kobolds
In this edition of Dungeons and Dragons Monsters I’d like to talk to you about Kobolds. Since I don’t know when you are reading this blog post I’m referring to Dungeons and Dragons Edition 3.5 and the Pathfinder Role-playing Game.
The truth is a lot of the information is useful no matter the edition of D&D you are playing. I’d go as far as to say with a little imagination you’ll be able to use the information here in any table top role-playing game.
Kobolds even made it to my Top 10 Scariest Dungeons and Dragons Monsters blog post I did way back in March 2014.
Now on with it. How to properly employ these beasties. First and foremost don’t think you your novice adventuring party is going to clear out a whole tribe of these critters. This is the #1 mistake I’ve seen and made as a GM over the years. If you’ve planned an adventure around that you’ve already have begun on the wrong foot.
Monsters are not going to be just sitting around in a cave complex or dungeon in specific areas just waiting for you to come slaughter them and take their stuff.
How To Speeks Goblin | House Warming Party

How To Speeks Goblin | RPG

How To Speeks Goblin | Yo-Yo
