After four years of writing for The RPGuide, we've talked a lot about running and playing role-playing games. Thank you for listening for all these years!
This is a collection of our best and favorite articles from the fourth year of RPGuide posts. It includes sections on Storytelling, plotting and pacing your game, non-player characters (NPCs), game rules and mechanics, and advice for players to create characters and then play them in a team sport like RPGs.
Whether you're new to role-playing games or have been gaming for years, come learn from our mistakes and take advantage of our experience. We recommend reading at least the first Loaded Dice, but also consider My Guide to RPG Storytelling, My Storytelling Guide Companion, or From Dream to Dice. You don't need to read them, but it might help.
