Books filled with pre-generated monsters are a staple of tabletop roleplaying. And not just for fantasy, either. Modern horror needs terrifying creatures. Science fiction needs aliens and extra-dimensional beings. Even superheroes get their share of strange mutations and scientific experiments gone awry. Endless volumes exist on generating statistics for new and original creatures within the system... [click here for more] |

When discussing any other form of storytelling, the topic of theme will eventually come up. It doesn’t matter if the medium is a novel, a film, a television series, a comic book, or even a song. The people having the discussion might be writers, readers, critics, or academics. They will exchange opinions about the deeper meaning of the adventure and what the author was trying to say.

The term worldbuilding gets thrown around frequently by tabletop roleplayers. It is what we call the process of constructing a fantasy realm or even an entire fictional universe. There are maps and ecologies and complex histories involved, with all sorts of curious little details sprinkled in. While we presumably create these worlds to provide a grand stage for an ongoing campaign, the act of worldbuilding... [click here for more] |

Worldbuilding is essential to good roleplaying, regardless of the genre or medium. It creates the context for the player characters and their adventures. The information necessary to understand antagonist motivations, story goals, and the stakes, are all tied up in elements that have been established and explained. Your specific worldbuilding elements make your setting unique.

Character sheets frustrate me. Most of the time there isn’t enough space to record everything about my character.

A hippogryph is a strange paradox, combining the elegance of a giant eagle with the stability of a horse. It is a hybrid of two things that cannot logically go together.

Science fantasy is a hybrid genre that draws upon and combines tropes and elements from science fiction and fantasy. In conventional science fiction, the world is presented as being scientifically logical. Conventional fantasy stories contain mostly supernatural and artistic elements, disregarding the laws of physics and the constraints of the real world. Science fantasy, then, is presented scientifically... [click here for more] |

Not all fantasy takes place in some pseudo-medieval, quasi-historical setting. Urban fantasy combines the familiar and the strange, using selected imaginary elements in an approximation of the real world. These elements, including magic and paranormal beings, often exist secretly in the world. The urban component is found in the setting, typically a city or suburban community.

My first experience with tabletop roleplaying games was as the gamemaster. The year was 1979, and my friends and I had pooled our money to buy the Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set. None of us had ever played before. There was no one else to run for us or teach us how things were supposed to work. I read the rules and made up some characters, but I had no idea what I was supposed to do. After... [click here for more] |
