When I think back to my early days of Dungeons & Dragons, one of my strongest memories is sitting in our makeshift game room, while my brother—the Dungeon Master—worked quietly on our next adventure. The table would be littered with graph paper, dice, and rulebooks, but my focus would inevitably drift toward the stunning art of Jeff Easley . His illustrations seemed to come alive as I flipped through the pages of D&D books, transporting me to otherworldly landscapes filled with powerful wizards…

I bet if wizards were real, they'd be the weirdest people you know . We all imagine Gandalf when we think of a wizard (who was a bit eccentric himself), but I bet a real wizard would be more like Radagast the Brown—just a really weird dude who can barely hold a conversation and, for some reason, smells awful. Wizards always seem like they're spaced out, as if they've eaten some weird mushroom growing behind their cupboard. Sure, you need a high level of intelligence to be a wizard , but just lo…

How come there's no Dungeons & Dragons VR game? I mean, I know you can play Skyrim in VR and there are tabletop simulations in VR, but I’m not talking about those. I’m talking about a full-on Dungeons & Dragons campaign in virtual reality—one that you play with a group of friends, each wearing their own VR headset. You each pick a character and then just go out on an adventure in a huge open world. What I think would be most hilarious about a game like this is that the combat would be in real-t…

In a game where everything is decided by the roll of the dice , it's no wonder some gamers get irrationally angry at their inanimate dice and feel the need to publicly shame them for their 'misbehavior.' It's funny to see how Dungeons and Dragons players treat their dice as if they are a spiritual entity that has a mind of it's own and can be appeased (or angered) by certain behaviors. Some players kiss the dice before rolling them, some whisper a little prayer to them before an important roll…

For some reason, Necromancers got a bad reputation . Everyone thinks that they are just evil magic users who dabble in black magic and bend the will of the dead to their own. But tell me this - Is it really evil to reanimate a person's lifeless corpse so you can add him to your ever-growing army on undead minions in your lifelong pursuit of global domination? I mean that dude isn't doing anything with his corpse, it's just laying there, in the dirt, collecting dust worms. I'm sure that if he st…
