Robin Laws, an experienced author of roleplaying books, has written an invaluable tool for GMs. It’s invaluable for all gamers, although it was targeted at the GM. In it, he includes a great deal of advice on how to make your games as enjoyable as possible for all participants. It’s not the stuff you’d normally find in the ‘For the Game Master’ section of the core rulebook or supplements like the Dungeons Master’s Guide. It’s more fundamental information, such as campaign design (are you running a dungeon crawl, a set-piece story, a branching story, an episodic story, etc?), suggestions on how to be spontaneous (have a list of appropriate names for when you need to ad-lib an NPC, have a box of index cards with stats for random NPCs that the players may encounter, etc), how to deal with different player types (what emotional kick is each player looking to get from the game, and how can you deliver it to them?).

Players will play a 1v1 mid Swiss-style tournament with the number of games determined by the number of players. The top sixty-four players will be seeded in a bracket-style tournament. The games will be a 1v1 mid, best of three to advance to the next round. The semi-finals and the final will be a best of five.
Mega-kill Meltdown: A Look Back
With the recent announcement of the new update for DOTA 2, 6.85, being announced by Icefrog, I felt like it was a time to look back at everything 6.84 did to the meta-game, public’s and competitive.
6.84 gave us Aghanim’s Scepter effects to Alchemist, Legion Commander, Lifestealer, Lone Druid, Morphling, Naga Siren, Nyx Assassin, Outworld Devourer, Tusk and Wraith King. We also got a plethora of new items, tailored around supports and mid laners. Heroes such as Leshrac, and Lina grew more powerful with the addition of Octarine Core, and carries that relied on invisibility for ganking, too grew stronger with the addition of Silver Edge.
PinkFae Gaming Adds More Writers
We have been very busy creating more transgender inclusive gaming tournaments that we didn’t have time to complete the other objectives of our mission. To help out we enlisted the help of a few more writers and tournament organizers. Their unique gaming backgrounds will bring a refreshing perspective to PinkFae Gaming. Look for more articles about first-person shooters, video game role-playing games, pen-and-paper role-playing games and even boffer games.
