TroubleGMR’s Playing: Monster Hunter: World: Arch-Tempered Kirin vs. Arch-Tempered Vaal Hazak

The Arch-tempered monsters are starting to make their way to the PC release of Monster Hunter: World (and by the time this article publishes we'll have Behemoth, the Final Fantasy XIV crossover. YES!!!). Arch-tempered Kirin has come and gone-- don't worry, he'll be back-- and until December 27th, we get to take a crack at...

Flights of Fancy: Dragon Warrior, Part 5

Well, here we are! I've mostly tended to be very accurate in this story to the Nintendo game Dragon Warrior, but Gwaelin's homecoming is finally where I fudged a little bit. I mean, carrying her right into the throne room, filthy and disheveled? How undignified! I think no one will mind a little added romance....

TroubleGMR’s Playing: Monster Hunter: World: The Prepared Player’s Guide to Kulve Taroth

Whether you are new to the series or just jumped aboard since the latest game, Monster Hunter is a game that requires both skill and patience. Yes, there is a grind involved for gear. No, this grind is not required for you to enjoy the game, it's perfectly playable if grinding for loot isn't your...

TCG News: Extra Life 2018– Worked Like a Charm!

Another Extra Life is in the books, and our third event went even better than last year's in just about every way I can think of. We had very few technical hiccups, for example, and what issues cropped up were promptly and skillfully handled by our tech crew, Ed and Kay, who generously donate their...

Flights of Fancy: Dragon Warrior, Part 4

Sometimes stories write themselves. That's not so much to say that it comes effortlessly as it is that they go in a direction you weren't expecting. For example, I was expecting to wrap this story up, but I think it'll need one more chapter. Also, I had expected for there to be more dialogue, but...

TCG News: Extra Life 2018– Third Time’s a Charm!

Two years ago my friends and I started The Cartographers Guild project, where my fellow Guildies and I stream the video and tabletop games we like to play on Twitch, mostly full plays of story-driven role-playing games with lots of plot analysis. And riffing, lots of that too! The point of the Guild is to...

Flights of Fancy: Dragon Warrior, Part 3

Wow, I'm getting more likes on my fanfics than I ever have on the thirty-some-odd articles I've written for this site! Is that a hint? Because if you want stories, people, I've got stories. This one's lasting longer than I thought, and I'm loving it. My biggest fan (my sister) has somehow managed not to...

Flights of Fancy: Dragon Warrior, Part 2

Well, that sister of mine has quite an impressive memory, it turns out. She was thrilled at my first article in this series, and even remembered the name of the ancient fanfic that inspired it! I have resolved not to read it again until I'm finished with my Dragon Warrior flight of fancy, but Gwaelin,...
