The Ultimate RPG Character Backstory Guide... Reviewed!

The Ultimate RPG Character Backstory Guide... will get you moving in the right direction in more ways than one.

This book is a great character booster for RPG gaming kits and should increase your interest in the actual game. It takes your character backstory to the next level by way of giving you a guide to follow when it comes to developing the life of your character. You even have idioms.

Based on where your character's level is, there are various tasks ranging between 1 - 5... like winning a bar fight. Levels 6 - 10... includes a scenario like Unseat a corrupt governor. Levels 11 - 15 includes... having your actions declared miraculous, etc. There are other things to do in these levels, but... you get the idea.

It's not only for your main character either... you also have your companions that have their experiences, personalities, and actions that affect other members of the party + situation. There is a situation involving a character losing something valuable, you decide on how they lost it (based on your experience with them). Did they lose it out of carelessness, robbed, etc.

You can even classify your villains. There are a hundred narratives in this book to fill the blanks on, prompts, and more... so you should be pleased if this is your sort of thing. (It goes beyond that for me.) There are so many things in this 272-page guide to flesh out a world, your characters, and more... which brings me to another reason I am doing a review. There are developers looking for ways to create characters for games, writers looking for ways to develop characters for books, and even scripts for shows and movies. I think this book is one heck of a tool to help with that because you aren't just coming up with a character with a vague backstory... this book has the right amount of depth to help you develop intriguing characters without them being... cookie cutter.

You don't have to necessarily follow the scenarios in the book either, but they're helpful. So while it benefits fans of (tabletop) RPGs by adding some oomph to their RPG experience, it can work wonders for character development in your own projects. Think about it... put you through the paces to really know these characters so they can benefit you in other ways.

It comes in paperback like I have... + an eBook. I recommend paperback to those of you who like to play tabletop RPGs while roughing it on a camping trip or something where electricity is used at a minimum. Some of you just prefer paperback... and that works too (I'm in a similar boat, I won't read eBooks as often). This will run you $14.99 on the publisher's website, while the eBook comes in at $10.99. I haven't used the eBook version, but it would be cool if they had active buttons to press based on your decisions made (not saying it does or does not, but it would be cool if it does).

Overall, I think this is a really cool book for those of you that enjoy RPG kits, but... I think its also a great tool for (aspiring) character developers. The price is right for either use, but... if you can get dual use of it it, that's even better... which is why I thought to share the idea.

Dungeons 3 + Dungeons 3: Clash of Gods

Can I interest you in a dungeon simulator?

DESCRIPTION

Through enticing the dark elf priestess Thalya from the fluffy clutches of the surface world to become his chief lieutenant, the Dungeon Lord has found a way to direct his campaign of conquest from the confines of his underground lair. With Thalya on the front line, and the united forces of evil to support her, players will have to use every trick in the book to best those do-gooders of the overworld, once and for all!

Unleash your dark side by creating a unique underground dungeon from a huge array of rooms, traps and structures. Raise the most terrifying army the world has ever seen, by choosing from despicable creatures such as orcs, succubae, zombies and much, much more. Then, once you have built your forces, emerge from the darkness and guide your army to the light of the overworld, where you will corrupt the land and dispatch anything even vaguely heroic, cute or unicorn-shaped. And in a first for the Dungeons series, experience randomly generated levels, so that no two sessions are alike – never-ending fun for any evil conqueror!

Feature List

• The dungeon manager you’ve been waiting for: Dungeons 3 is the biggest, best, and evil-est dungeon sim yet, topped off with a fully reworked overworld RTS mode.
• Under new management: Command the united forces of evil under the guidance of new character Thalya and lead them to victory. 
• Size does matter: Extensive single player campaign with 20 missions and more than 20 hours of playtime, randomly generated levels, a brand new co-op mode for two players, more rooms, and more unique abilities.
• Speak (no) evil: The fan-favourite Dungeons narrator is back with his unmistakable voice, continuing the Dungeons legacy in the best way possible.

Get clashing in Dungeons 3: Clash of Gods

DESCRIPTION

The cries of joy are still echoing through the dungeon halls alongside the distinctive, melodic parp of the fanfare corps’ butt trumpets – a cacophony of wickedness that lingers in the air after the Absolute Evil’s undisputed triumph over Tanos. 
But, as the saying goes, all good evil things come to an end – and so is the Absolute Evil’s relentless assimilation of everything that dares to be good. For now is the time for the Absolute Evil to ascend to the throne and crown himself the sole ruler of the world. 

However, there’s one itsy-bitsy little problem standing in the way…the Above-And-Beyond-All-Beings Goddess of Light herself! Who will emerge victorious from the final battle between good and evil?

Feature summary:

Go in and win! Plunge into the depths of the dungeon once more and battle your way through the holy forces in eight all-new and fully voiced missions – to finally erase everything that dares to be good by dethroning the yucky good Goddess of Light. But, there’s more to it: invading heroes will set up outposts to cleanse the dungeon’s soil. So, be on your guard! And for a better overworld handling, players are now able to build towers and statues to keep enemies at bay. Last but not least, a new multiplayer co-op mode is waiting for you little snots out there.

Features:

• The final clash: Eight all-new and fully voiced campaign missions put your evil skills to the test.
• The goddess and the vengeful one: Two new antagonists cross the Absolute Evil’s path, seeking to take vengeance and cleanse the world of all that is evil.
• Holy dungeon: don’t make the mistake of going easy on invading heroes, or they will set up their own outpost to consecrate the dungeon’s evil soil in the name of the goddess.
• More evil power to rule the overworld: use outposts to build fortifying towers and supporting statues to keep approaching heroes at bay.
• Make your dungeon evil again: three even deadlier traps and three unspeakably nasty spells will make for a hearty welcome for intruders – seasoned with the right amount of evilness, of course.
• Evil joint venture: a new multiplayer co-op mode makes its way to the dungeon; team up with your most evil friend and have fun pillaging and razing the good guys’ most beloved city.

Dungeons 3 is included in this $12 bundle if you get it before Oct.5th!

Insomnia: The Ark

This mid-priced action RPG packs a serious wallop. - Blu

Fun fact: Brian Fargo & Chris Avellone from the Fallout series also approve this game.

DESCRIPTION

INSOMNIA is a complex story-driven RPG that takes place on a colossal space metropolis brimming with the secrets of a long-gone civilization. Develop your character, explore lovingly handcrafted locations, interact with peculiar NPCs and factions, craft equipment and try to stay alive.

You awaken on Object 6 - a retro-futuristic space station set on a 400-year journey in search of a new home. Stricken with a rare psychological disease, you have to uncover macabre secrets and the truth behind humanity’s journey to the ghost-like Evacuation Point.

Exploration is rewarding…and dangerous
Search for valuable technology and resources in the confines of Object 6. Pay attention - INSOMNIA’s nuanced world can conceal unexpected quests from treacherous characters, as well as savage enemies and deadly hazards. Hunger, thirst, fatigue and hostile environments will be your main companions throughout this journey.

Strategic real-time combat

INSOMNIA features both close and ranged combat, as well as destroyable covers. Choose your gear wisely - every armor and weapon type in the game has its own tactical virtues and shortcomings.

Personalized journey

Break free from character classes and unwanted grind with a flexible perk system combined with a huge amount of craftable items and equipment for an experience unique to every player.

Your choices matter

INSOMNIA offers an intricate, non-linear storyline with ‘points of no return’. Navigate a system of thorny relations with characters and factions and make tough decisions that affect the game world. Each major problem can be solved using a variety of different (and sometimes unexpected) solutions.

A rich universe

Experience the game’s rich lore through retro-futuristic noir visuals with elements of dieselpunk. Witness man-made apocalyptic landscapes imbued with a dark noir jazz soundtrack and echoes of a decaying civilization.

FTS: MINECRAFT - MINECON EARTH 2018

Everything You Need to Know From MINECON Earth 2018!

What happened? The global Minecraft community of 91 million people each month (!!!) tuned in to celebrate MINECON Earth 2018 today, which was loads of fun! We announced some BIG NEWS and shared a first look at what’s to come later in 2018 and beyond, and have recapped the best-of-the-best moments for your reading pleasure below.

What’s the news?

• NEW GAME! – Yes, we introduced a whole new PC game from Mojang coming in 2019 – Minecraft: Dungeons! It’s an action-adventure game inspired by classic dungeon crawlers, where players will explore canyons, swamps, and – of course – mines! There will be new-and-nasty mobs, weapons and items to discover, and the option to either go it alone or with friends on this action-packed adventure. Minecraft: Dungeons something of a passion project from a small dedicated team, but it’s the first big step in the Minecraft’s franchise’s expanded direction – creating new experiences for our community to enjoy!

• The Village and Pillage Update is Coming – Jens ‘Jeb’ Bergensten took to the stage and talked about the next big update to Minecraft, which will give our villages a massive makeover and introduce a new threat in the form of a hostile mob, the Pillagers! Rather than update things here and there, we’re going to release one bit-impact update each year that will expand a different part of the game. Which brings us to the next bullet…

• The Taiga Biome is Getting Updated – During MINECON Earth 2018, we left it to the community to vote and decide which Minecraft biome would receive a major makeover first – either the Northern forest of the Taiga, the dry Deserts, or the plains of the Savanna. And the winner was…Taiga!! We’re so excited to see the updates to Taiga – in particular, the super-cute foxes – but don’t worry, we’re still going to update the other two at a later time! 

• Cute Mobs Incoming – Are you a cat person or a panda person? …well, it doesn’t matter because they’re both being added to Minecraft later this year! We’re super excited to be bringing these two fun, adorable mobs to the game. We even went to the Chimlong Park in Guangzhou, China to record audio for the pandas in-game, and are going to be immortalizing one of our community’s cats as a variant of the mob. <3 <3 <3

If you love Minecraft, try out the story mode. Lucha OUT!
