Guides
dungeons hero

Having the right weapon at the right time isn’t always possible in a randomly generated loot crawler like Minecraft Dungeons. That’s alright though, there’s plenty of weapons all around that will knock your enemies off the map and take down even the toughest bosses on the highest difficulties. If you’re wanting to know what are the best weapons in Minecraft Dungeons are along with their special abilities then look no further: Top 5 Melee Weapons: Top 5 Ranged Weapons: These are the best melee and ranged weapons in Minecraft Dungeons. The game is pretty cool though with all the weapons. Sometimes it’s more about what makes you happy and what mods you get than the actual weapon type. These unique-ish weapons above though will come generally with special abilities that’ll give you an edge ontop of the mods. Hope this list helps you out. Happy hunting in MC Dungeons!

Warhammer 40K: Darktide – How to Avoid a Daemonhost

Guides
daemonhost

It’s not secret that Warhammer 40K: Darktide is based heavily on the Left 4 Dead franchise. The developer, Fatshark, has a history with emulating the franchise in Vermintide and continues to do so in the future grimdark WH40K: Darktide. In emulating the franchise they’ve brought back one of the infamous “group gotchas” the Witch. This time though, they’re called a Daemonhost and do about just the same thing mechanically: wipe your party. There’s very rarely a reason to defeat them beyond contracts and penances which you should aim to do in a group of other players with the same goal as you so that you can gather the right party, clear the are out around the Daemonhost and then fight it properly without worrying about losing the mission. When you’re just running a mission though and there is no objective for it then there is no reason to mess with…

Warhammer 40k: Darktide Operator Tier List – Best Class in Darktide – 2023

Tier Lists
aropn

It can be a lot to figure out what to play in Warhammer 40k: Darktide. The operators, which are the primary top hierarchy for the class, all come with drastically different playstyles. A Preacher will do mostly melee while a Sharpshooter will do mostly ranged and there isn’t much in-between. What you pick is what you play. The good news is the game gives you multiple character slots so you can go in and play whatever operators you’d like. You can also make an operator, try it out for a bit and then reroll and skip the cutscenes and get all the starting progress made up in about 30 minutes. Don’t ever hesitate to try another class! Below we’re going to break the operators into our best generalist picks (i.e. you want to do everything on a single character) and then explain what the best specializations are. We also give…

Bungie Multiverse Mythos and Timeline Overview

Editorials
PiD

Halo is not the prime universe in the Bungie world; Marathon is. Which may surprise some who first found Bungie either through ONI or Halo, but the core timeline for the entire series rests with one of their earlier games: Marathon and Pathways into Darkness. Not only are these two games very important to the lore of both Halo and Destiny, but they’re also just as lore filled as those two games, if not more. Where Destiny has very little lore, PiD and Marathon have intense amounts of lore which to this day is studied and thought on. I’d like to propose a simplified version of the Bungie Multiverse Mythos and a simplified Timeline below that walks through the major highlights and plot points that you’d otherwise have to dig around for. Most articles focus on easter eggs and lore tidbits, but I want to focus on what the overall…

How to Get Players Invested into your DnD or Table Top RPG Campaign

Guides
wood luck business game

You can make an analogy that a game of Dungeons and Dragons or Vampire the Masquerade or any table top RPG is actually like a 4v1 game like Dead by Daylight except it can be more or less players depending on your group. This asymmetrical dance has the dungeon master as the one responsible for keeping everyone’s attention and guiding the events of the game while the players fight against their machinations in a world they’ve either created or borrowed from a wealth of wonderful artists. There’s so much information out there on the many ways to craft stories and many stories to borrow from that are engaging and today we’re not talking about the specific stories; we’re talking about getting the players invested into the story. That starts with a few things. Ignore Popular Advice I usually love popular advice for many reasons; if it works for enough people…

Where Are Dune Video Games At?

Editorials
dunepartone

Dune is such a good book, at least book one. It’s so good and it’s rife with political intrigue and a world that, as someone who is creative, is just jealous to read it. It deprives me of the ability to come up with most of the ideas on my own. Removing ranged weapons with personal shields is just such a fun way to completely upend sci-fi combat. Woah, upend combat? That’s…. sounding like something that would be a really good game. You’ve got massive political intrigue, tons of lore, places to visit and a combat system that’s very unique. So, where the games at? Oh not looking for something that’s not sci-fi to play, try give FFXIV a try. It’s more fantasy based and way less focused on spicepunk like Dune. The Games that Exist The following Dune games exist and you’ll see something troubling very quickly: Game NameYearGenreSystemsDune1992Adventure…

How to Check and What is the Best Internet Speed for Gaming Guide

Guides
speed testing hero images

Back in the early 2000s, when online gaming was a new frontier lag was everywhere. All of the fun and excitement of online gaming was met with rubber banding (where your character would move forward then snap back to a previous spot), in 2005 when WoW launched you would get stuck in the looting pose and in FPS games were heavily impacted on lag with shots being missed as players rubber banded around the map. These issues these days are still a problem, although not as much of one as they used to be. Gamers, to combat the lag, threw down their dial-up modems with 56k of blazing speed and took up cable and DSL as their preferred Internet standard. You had to live near a hub or some other kind of techno-gadget to get fast Internet, but that quickly expanded by 2010 to almost everywhere. That’s not to say…

Converting from WoW to Final Fantasy XIV Guide – FFXIV for New WoW Players

Guides
wow ffxiv

So you’re converting to FFXIV from WoW and are ready to take on the world of Final Fantasy, the MMO, round two. A little back story, there was Final Fantasy XI (FFXI) which was another MMO that was pretty… interesting. It was, I would say, a game of patience and challenge loved by many, played by few. Then came FFXIV which followed on the coattails of the FFXIII for the PS3 which was a weird game because it was very linear compared to the open world Final Fantasy single player games of before. FFXIV when it originally launched was panned and then Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn was… born? I guess you could say. That’s the game we’re playing today and it was remade to be better than ever and is, for a tab-targeting game truly a AAA masterpiece in the genre now. After expansions iterating on the design,…

RoleGenerator Review: A Free Random Generator Online

Reviews
roll generator hero

RoleGenerator was launched in July 2021 oriented to helping dungeon masters and roleplaying game enthusiasts with generating a lot of the day to day minutia of their roleplaying campaigns. As of right now, they have 28 modules divided into two categories: Dungeons & Dragons and generic roleplaying generators. The latter refers to narrative content or content that isn’t specific to any game system and ubiquitous across any type of roleplaying gaming. There are modules focused purely on roleplaying, my favorite being the land and event generator which will take a terrain type and generate flavor text and events that randomly could occur which is great for fleshing out tile by tile what’s there (or even in building rooms for a MUD). Their D&D module generates a shop with inventory, which is useful in building some much needed randomness between shops. Many of the modules include in-depth looks what the generator…
