A new year is upon us and that means it’s time to resolve! Resolutions are meant to be goals we set for our own improvement, and usually that means things like losing a few extra pounds or maybe getting out to the park for walks more often.

Of course, we’re in the business of tabletop role-playing games, so our resolution ideas pertain more to that side of things. Perhaps you’re a seasoned Game Master but would like to open your horizons to new ideas. Maybe you’re an intermediate GM but could brush up on your rules, races, classes and the like.

Or, like me, you’ve never chaired a game in your life and are being hounded by your friends and DND-playing loved ones on a weekly basis – “go on, run a game, you’ll love it!” – and are caving in to their pesterences!

So… how do we make ourselves a better GM?

As our popular book ‘Remarkable Inns & Their Drinks’ notes, “Taverns offer comforting drinks and food to soothe battle pains and escape the drudgery of a hard day’s work. But a tavern isn’t just about a mug of grog.

If your adventuring party is going on a pub crawl or kipping down after a tough fight, you’ll want to make sure the drink menu suits the scene well. Here’s a selection of drinks pulled from the pages of “Remarkable Inns” – complete with homespun recipes (or create your own!) in case you fancy bringing a realistic touch to the gaming table!

We’ve been hard at work for months, developing our new Savage Dawn campaign setting. We are now ready to lift the veil a little and show you the first glimpse of what it will be!

Time to talk extreme game room makeovers once again!

As we discussed in Part I, a dream game room is one that would tantalize all the senses. We talked about the sights and textures of an epic game room – mood lightning, comfortable in-the-round seating, and the focal point of your room, the gaming table.

This time we’re talking about the rest of your senses – taste, scent and sound.

We’ve been telling you about our new Dungeon Discoveries decks – sets of cards that can provide you with thousands of items to spice up your game session. Let’s show you two ways just one of those items could affect your game.

Our modular mapmaking packs are a quick and easy way to get your adventurers started on the right path, so to speak – they are a great addition to your digital games and you can print them out for a quick in-person session. But with time and effort you can take our maps to the next dimension – the third dimension – as Kim Forsell shows us.
