Careful there, careful! Watch your step. Yes, we’re still cleaning up from last night’s celebration of the artificer class and have yet to remove all their…. gadgets. Don’t get old Balbo wrong. Most of these contraptions are first class. For example, one of them zapped the dirt clear off my boots last night. Look at them, they look as new as the day I bought them. Another artificer designed something that cleans my mugs, and it has only destroyed two of them. That’s better than most barmaids in a year. Don’t tell Evelyn I said that. She would hit me over the head with a mug, and I can’t afford to lose anymore this month. Ha!

Today, I will fill you in on all the fascinating details of a role-playing game class we should all take note of. Sit down, have a drink. Let’s discuss the artificers and how they channel their arcane powers through all sorts of mundane objects.  Like…like this spoon! Ho! I bet they could make this spoon as deadly as a rogue’s dagger!

Weapons and Armor

Surprisingly, the artificer class enjoys simple weapons. However, “simple” is an odd term for them. Most begin with a run-of-the-mill crossbow, sling, and a dagger. But you know they will upgrade and infuse them along the way. Remember, a weapon is just a weapon until it is in the hands of an artificer. Once they hold it, they can turn it into something new and powerful with their unique spellcasting abilities.

Artificers will wear light and medium armor, not unlike rangers. A nice, studded leather armor or a shiny scale will fit your character well. It all depends how you roll them and what role you want them to play.

Save room in that backpack. They will carry all sorts of tools from tinkerer’s tools to thieves’ tools. Depending on what they like to make, they will also need specific artisan tools too. Okay, maybe they will need a workshop. That can be one of your goals!

Races

You might have guessed it; intelligence is the utmost important statistic to have as an artificer. If you want to safeguard your character in medium armor, you will need a race that can help you reach a score of 14 in dexterity. Otherwise, constitution is your second pick.  Gnomes and elves will be your best pick, but we encourage you to consider something that fits how you want to play the most. Again, we stress that it is important to have an idea of what role your artificer will play in the squad. Will they be offense, support, or maybe a tank?

Backgrounds

Have fun with this one but look for bonuses to intelligence. Clan Crafter is an improved Guild Artisan, and can give you history, which is a good skill, and the starting gear works great for the artificer. Sage is our pick because it provides you with two languages and some Intelligence-based goodies.

What Makes a Good Artificer?

Experienced RPG gamers. Someone who is creative and familiar with spellcasting characters and understands that with this class there will be some work managing infusions, spells, and tools. A player who is okay with being limited and not having access to the higher level spells a wizard or cleric might cast.

That said, this is a character that stands out from the epic and high fantasy norms. Think of it as more in the steampunk realm. So, if you are someone who likes to be unique, this is a class for you.

Yes, you’ve likely seen these kinds of characters in video games like World of Warcraft. Lots of the gnomes there are considered tinkerers. You can also think of this class as the jack of all trades. The multi-tool of the team. They slice, they dice, they cast, they steal, and they heal! Get one now for only 44 gold pieces! Ha! Just kidding, friend, don’t mind old Balbo, he got ahead of himself.

Do you hear that? Our favorite bard is tuning up his lute. Not a fan? No worries, friend. Did you know that if you were feeling the bard class was not totally right for you, the artificer class is a great option. They are similar in many ways. The fact of the matter is that an artificer can provide the support a group needs if you design them as such. And having good support can mean the difference between a fabled victory and another unfortunate wipe.

Three cheers for Artificers, studiers of technology and magic!

Tabletop Beard is impressed by the variety of skills the artificer class has. Therefore, we created the artificer scent to match the spirit of invention, disciple, and quiet intensity of a mind that is always hard at work. We hope you enjoy this clockwork cologne and its hints of soil, stone, steel and smoke.

There are many references to characters in history and pop culture that could align with the artificer class. We like to list legendary tinkerer, MacGyver. He could turn just about any ordinary object into a weapon. From comics, Dr. Doom, Iron Man, and Batman of course. Egon from the Ghostbusters is another fun choice, but what do you think of historical figures like Leonardo DaVinci and Nikola Tesla? Who would you name as one of your favorite artificers?

Side note: Next time our old friend Iron Man makes a time machine, we’re asking him to go back to the High Renaissance to give DaVinci some artificer beard oil. We wager he can use some.

Mustache wax is a beard grooming product specially formulated to help shape, style, and maintain the appearance of a mustache. Traditionally crafted from a blend of waxes—often beeswax—and natural oils, it provides both hold and conditioning to facial hair. This product is popular among individuals who wish to keep their mustache neat, well-defined, and free from unruly hairs.

What Is Mustache Wax?

Mustache wax is a stiff, pliable substance designed for application to the mustache. Its primary purpose is to help control the shape and direction of facial hair, particularly in styles that require precise or elaborate grooming. The wax typically contains ingredients such as beeswax for hold, various oils (like coconut or jojoba) for nourishment, and sometimes essential oils for fragrance.

Benefits of Using Mustache WaxStyle and Shape – Mustache wax allows individuals to sculpt and maintain their desired mustache style, from classic handlebar curves to simple straightforward shapes.Taming Unruly Hair – The wax helps keep stray hairs in place, preventing a messy appearance throughout the day.Moisturizing Properties – Many mustache waxes contain conditioning oils that hydrate both the hair and the skin beneath, reducing dryness and irritation.Protection – A layer of wax can shield the mustache from environmental factors such as wind, dust, or humidity, maintaining a groomed look in various conditions.How to Use Mustache WaxPreparation – Start with a clean, dry mustache. If the wax is too firm, warm it slightly by rubbing a small amount between your fingers or using a hairdryer to soften it.Application – Scrape a small amount of wax from the container and then rub it between your thumb and forefinger until it becomes pliable.Styling – Evenly distribute the wax through the mustache, starting from the center and working outward. Shape the hair as desired, using a comb for precision if needed.Finishing Touches – Allow the wax to set for a few minutes. On some occasions you may need to reapply throughout the day to maintain your preferred style.

In conclusion, mustache wax is an essential beard care tool for anyone seeking a well-groomed, distinguished appearance. Its benefits extend beyond simple aesthetics, offering moisture, protection, and control to facial hair. At Tabletop Beard, we like to think that with regular use and the right application technique, a well-maintained mustache can become a defining feature of personal style.

We have great news! Tabletop Beard just released Balbo’s Mustache Wax!

Balbo’s Mustache Wax delivers a strong, fragrance-free hold to keep your mustache styled and controlled all day. Made with premium natural ingredients, it also conditions the hair and skin to prevent dryness and irritation.

Tabletop Beard Movie Reviews #1

Gather ‘round, ye fearless adventurers and seekers of cinematic oddities, for today we delve into the wild and wacky world of Hawk the Slayer, the 1980 sword-and-sorcery epic that has enchanted, amused, and bewildered fantasy fans for generations. In fact, it remained this bard’s favorite fantasy movie for many moons!

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a bunch of enthusiastic Brits, a shoestring budget, and a truckload of dry ice collided in a forest, then Hawk the Slayer is the fever dream you’ve been waiting for. If you haven’t seen it yet…and you love all things fantasy…then, where the hell have you been, adventurer?!?!

The Plot: Swords, Sorcery, and a Splash of Sibling Rivalry

Set in a world where fog machines reign and every forest is filled with mystery, Hawk the Slayer tells the tale of—brace yourself—Hawk, a brooding hero with a tragic past and a magic sword (because you can’t be a fantasy hero in 1980 without one, right Luke? Right Arthur?). Our valiant Hawk squares off against his dastardly brother Voltan, played by the deliciously menacing Jack Palance, whose performance can only be described as “one-of-a-kind over-the-top villainy.”

The plot’s as classic as they come: Voltan kills their father, Hawk’s bride, and kidnaps an abbess (she heads the abbey of nuns). Hawk, seeking justice and some well-deserved sibling vengeance, gathers a party of misfits—a wise-cracking dwarf, a stoic elf with a penchant for rapid-fire archery, a bearded giant who’s gentle despite his size, and a mysterious witch with unexplained powers. Together, they embark on perilous quests, confront Voltan’s goons, and unleash the might of the era’s finest “magical” special effects.

Performances: All In, All the Time

Did you watch LOST? Do you remember Jack’s dad? The actor’s name is John Terry, and Hawk the Slayer was one of his first movies. As Hawk, he radiates a quiet intensity; his brooding stares are only rivaled by his unwavering grip on his sword. But, everyone who has seen the movie will agree, it’s Jack Palance who steals the show—his Voltan is a villain for the ages, all snarls and cape-swishing, with a dark helmet that screams “Darth Vader for Fantasy fans.” Palance delivers every line with the conviction of a Shakespearean actor, even if those lines sound like they were written by a medieval mad-lib generator.

The supporting cast is a riot. Ray Charleson’s Crow the Elf never wastes a word (or an arrow, for that matter), and his archery scenes—accompanied by the world’s first archery rapid-fire sound effect—are legendary for their sheer audacity. The dwarf, played by Peter O’Farrell, provides comic relief, while Bernard Bresslaw’s giant Gort is as lovable as he is large. Let’s not forget William Morgan Sheppard playing Ranulf, a one-armed man with an automatic crossbow. You will recognize William, he’s been in every beloved 80s and 90s show from MacGyver and Murder She Wrote to Star Trek Voyager and Quantum Leap. Throw in the enigmatic Sorceress, and you’ve got yourself a Dungeons & Dragons party to remember.

Production Values: B-Movie Magic Unleashed

The look and feel of Hawk the Slayer is where the fun truly begins. The movie’s budget was rumored to less than $840,000, yet director Terry Marcel wrings every drop of magic from it. For comparison’s sake Star Wars, release in 1977 was $11 million.

Therefore, the special effects—glittering flashes, glowing sword hilts, psychedelic overlays—may look quaint by today’s standards, but that’s part of the film’s indelible charm. There’s enough dry ice to fill several hockey rinks, and every spell cast is accompanied by a laser-light show that would make a disco jealous.

The action sequences are a joy, mixing swordplay with the kind of choreographed chaos that only comes from earnest low-budget filmmaking. The costumes? They’re a patchwork of medieval cosplay and obvious thrift store finds, but who doesn’t love Hawk’s studded leather and Voltan’s half-burned helmet.

The sets are mostly fog-drenched woods and stone-walled keeps, which are beautifully atmospheric—if you can see through the haze.

The Soundtrack: High Fantasy Meets Disco

One of Hawk the Slayer’s most unforgettable features is its outstanding soundtrack. Composed by Harry Robertson, the music is a surreal blend of sweeping orchestral themes and synth-driven disco funk, as if a drunken bard wandered into Studio 54 and never left. It’s a mood all its own and has seriously helped cement the film’s cult status. Yes, you will hear the music from the final battle in your head for days after watching it.

A Treasure Trove of Unintentional Humor

Part of the joy of Hawk the Slayer is how utterly sincere it is—even when it’s unintentionally hilarious. The dialogue is peppered with fantasy clichés and dramatic one-liners that are all delivered with the utmost seriousness. No matter what the cast faces, their commitment never wavers. Blinking lights, plastic spiders, bouncy rubber balls, no matter how bizarre, they act right through it.

There is a renowned scene, where Hawk’s sword, powered by a glowing green stone, flies into his hand as if by magic (or, more likely, a fishing wire). It’s moments like these—ambitious, awkward, and endlessly entertaining—that make Hawk the Slayer so enjoyable. These moments might make you laugh and cheer, or they might make you moan and groan, either way, you won’t be bored.

Cult Classic Status and Beyond

Hawk the Slayer may not have been a box office smash, but it found its true home in the hearts of fantasy fans (like mine).

It’s been referenced in other media, inspired endless drinking games, and even spawned talk of sequels and reboots over the decades. For many, it’s the quintessential “so bad it’s good” movie—a film that’s aware of its limitations and embraces them with gusto.

In some ways it feels like a group of friends got together with a camera, some costumes, and a dream—and somehow, against all odds, created a movie that’s still watched, quoted, and cherished over forty years later. The film’s cult following is a testament to the power of imagination and the enduring appeal of earnest, low-budget filmmaking.

Should You Watch It?

If you’re searching for the next Game of Thrones, look elsewhere. But if you crave an offbeat adventure packed with wild costumes, zany effects, and a cast who are clearly having a blast, Hawk the Slayer is must-see. Gather your gamer friends, grab some popcorn, and prepare for a night of laughter and magic in a world where anything can happen—especially if you’re armed with a glowing sword and accompanied by a rapid-fire elf.

So, unsheath your sword, ready your disco groove, and dive into the epic fantasy of Hawk the Slayer. It’s cheesy, it’s campy, and it’s totally rad fun.

This bard asks you, isn’t that what adventure is all about?

Role-playing game dice, with their multifaceted shapes and vibrant designs, have captivated enthusiasts for decades. While these dice are essential tools for tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons, the reasons people collect them often transcend their utility. From their aesthetic appeal to the personal connections they forge, RPG dice hold a special place in the hearts of gamers worldwide.

Aesthetic Allure

There is no arguing that one of the most compelling reasons for collecting RPG dice is their sheer beauty. Dice are produced in a staggering variety of colors, materials, and designs. From shimmering, iridescent finishes to designs that make the dice look like hand-carved gemstones, they exist as miniature works of art. Collectors are often drawn to the tactile joy of holding dice with intricate swirls, embedded glitter, or even tiny inclusions, such as glitter, liquids, bones, pressed flowers, even mushrooms! The aesthetic diversity ensures there is always something new to discover.

Check out these dice and many others with incursions we discovered on Amazon.Nostalgia and Sentimentality

For many collectors, RPG dice evoke a sense of nostalgia. They may remind individuals of campaigns shared with friends, late-night adventures, or laughter-filled hours spent storytelling. Each set of dice, whether bought as part of a special edition or gifted by a fellow gamer, can carry memories that make them deeply personal artifacts. A well-loved set can feel like an heirloom, carrying the echoes of countless fantasy worlds. We admit, we have dice from our original days gaming that we would never part with. Don’t you?

The Thrill of the Hunt

Like other collectible hobbies, the pursuit of unique or rare dice adds an element of excitement. Limited-edition releases, custom designs, or vintage sets, such as those from the early days of tabletop gaming, can become prized possessions. Have you ever chased a special set of dice, gamer?

Expression of Identity

Dice collections often reflect the personality of their owners. Some gamers focus on themes, such as celestial patterns, dragons, or neons, while others are drawn to specific materials, like metal or wood. Building a collection becomes a creative expression that mirrors one’s gaming style, aesthetic preferences, or even personal philosophy. Which kinds of dice are your favorite?

Building Connections

Did you know that collecting RPG dice also strengthens social bonds. Enthusiasts frequently join groups, both online and in person, to share their collections, trade pieces, and discuss their favorite designs. These spaces create a sense of camaraderie rooted in shared appreciation. Also, gifting a set of dice is a meaningful gesture in the RPG world. When was the last time a friend gave you dice?

Art Meets Function

Lastly, many gamers revel in the dual purpose of dice as both functional game tools and decorative treasures. The act of rolling a beautifully crafted die during a game adds an element of delight to the experience. It elevates the act of gaming into something almost ceremonial, where the tools themselves carry significance. This author has kept his original dice in a leather pouch for years, while displaying his new nice in a decorative chalice in his home office. How do you store yours?

Conclusion

The gamers here at Tabletop Beard feel that the appeal of collecting RPG dice lies in a combination of artistry, nostalgia, and the joy of connection. Whether carefully displayed in shadow boxes or carried in a pouch for weekly campaigns, these small, multifaceted objects encapsulate creativity, community, and an enduring love for storytelling. It’s no wonder that for so many gamers, the humble die has become a cherished collectible.

We’d love to see your favorite dice!

The post The Fascination Behind Collecting Role-Playing Game Dice appeared first on Tabletop Beard.

We at Tabletop Beard love rolling dice, both physically and digitally. That’s why we wanted to discuss this important topic. Are you ready, gamers?

The past decade has witnessed an amazing convergence between traditional tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) and the ever-evolving world of video gaming. Fans of tabletop RPGs have been delighted to see their favorite games make the leap from the physical tabletop to digital platforms, bringing new life and expansive possibilities to beloved franchises. Here, we explore some of the best tabletop RPGs that have been successfully translated into video games in the last ten years.

Baldur’s Gate III

The epitome of tabletop RPGs, Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), has continued to enchant players with its deep lore and engaging gameplay. The release of Baldur’s Gate III has brought the D&D universe into the digital realm with spectacular success. Developed by Larian Studios, Baldur’s Gate III builds upon the mechanics and narrative style of its tabletop counterpart while offering stunning graphics and dynamic gameplay. Players can explore a rich fantasy world, undertake epic quests, and engage in strategic combat that mirrors the beloved D&D experience. Yes, you even get to watch the dice roll! We love that!

Expect to find this game with a mid to high 90% rating.

Cyberpunk 2077

Originally a tabletop RPG created by Mike Pondsmith, Cyberpunk 2020 envisioned a dystopian future filled with technology and intrigue. The transition to the video game platform culminated in the release of Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt Red. Although the game faced criticisms at launch due to technical issues, it has since evolved into a captivating experience that channels the gritty atmosphere and complex narratives of the original tabletop game. Gamers can immerse themselves in the sprawling metropolis of Night City, undertake cyber-enhanced missions, and navigate the moral complexities of a cyberpunk society. We enjoyed every second of playing this game, especially following the storylines of some very fun and interesting characters like Panam and Judy Álvarez.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2

White Wolf Publishing’s Vampire: The Masquerade has long been a favorite among tabletop RPG enthusiasts (and the favorite of this Bard). The dark and enigmatic world of vampires, with its complex political intrigue and supernatural elements, has been beautifully translated into multiple video games. Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, developed by Hardsuit Labs, promises to build upon the legacy of its predecessor with richer storytelling and enhanced gameplay mechanics. Players can delve into the nocturnal society of vampires, maintain their masquerade, and shape their destiny through a web of choices and consequences. Dark, mysterious, and fun. Just like we like our games!

Pathfinder: Kingmaker

Paizo Publishing’s Pathfinder RPG has garnered a dedicated following for its detailed world-building and robust mechanics. The video game adaptation, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, developed by Owlcat Games, brings the Pathfinder universe to life in a grand fashion. Kingmaker offers players the chance to lead their own kingdom, explore uncharted lands, and engage in tactical battles reminiscent of the tabletop experience. The game’s intricate character development and expansive storylines provide a rich and immersive adventure. Have you played this one yet?

Shadowrun Trilogy

Shadowrun, a unique blend of cyberpunk and fantasy elements, has captivated tabletop RPG players since its inception. The video game adaptations, including Shadowrun Returns, Shadowrun Dragonfall, and Shadowrun Hong Kong, developed by Harebrained Schemes, offer a faithful rendition of the original game’s spirit. These games combine strategic turn-based combat with deep narrative arcs, allowing players to explore a world where magic and technology coexist. The trilogy’s rich lore and engaging gameplay have earned it a special place in the hearts of RPG enthusiasts. Truly enjoyable experiences await those who try out these games.

Which is your favorite? We would have to pick Shadowrun: Dragonfall – Director’s Cut from 2014.

Conclusion

The translation of tabletop RPGs into video games has enriched both mediums, offering new dimensions of gameplay and storytelling to avid fans. These adaptations have not only preserved the essence of their tabletop origins but also expanded them, providing players with immersive worlds to explore and intricate narratives to experience. As technology continues to advance, the future holds even more exciting possibilities for the convergence of tabletop and video gaming.

From Baldur’s Gate III’s epic quests to Cyberpunk 2077’s dystopian adventures, these games represent the pinnacle of what can be achieved when the tactile charm of tabletop RPGs meets the expansive potential of video gaming. Embark on these digital journeys and experience the magic of your favorite tabletop worlds like never before. There are fables to create. Which quest will you take next?

Where to Start

You’ve been thinking about growing a beard for a while, but you don’t know how to begin, right? We’re guessing you started with a Google search and that brought you to us: Tabletop Beard. Good start!

Deciding to grow your first beard can be stressful, we understand. Whether you are in school, or at a job, you may not want to draw extra attention to yourself during the transformation. But when you approach beard growth with confidence, the right information and tools, you will do it without faltering.

So, yes, you made the right decision. A beard can help increase your self-confidence, give you a more mature, experienced, or exciting new look. And all you need to do is take the first step, which you already did by researching the topic and reading this article.

Let’s go!

Gather Your Tools

Your perfect beard is not a fantasy; it doesn’t need to be born of the stuff of fables. It’s not out of reach or unobtainable. Your perfect beard is what you make it. That’s one of the coolest parts about growing one. Full customization!

But in order to design your new facial hair, you’re going to need a few tools for the journey. Let us help you by listing them for you.

Comb or Brush – your choice. Try them both and see what feels right to you. It often comes down to beard type and length. So, to start, you should be fine with a simple fine-tooth comb. As your beard grows in and gets thicker, you can try a boar bristle brush. Trust us, they are nice. Scissors – all scissors are not created equally. So, no, you cannot use your kitchen shears or the ones your grandmother uses to quilt. Beard-trimming scissors should be easy to use, ergonomic, sturdy, and sharp. Scissors should easily cut hair, not pull it. They should also excel at precision, to better snip away those stubborn flyaway or oddly wiry hairs.Beard trimmer – the same is said for beard trimming razors. There are many to pick from, so look for ones that are easy to use, lightweight, easy to clean, ergonomic, and have high-quality blades, Bonus points for being waterproof. For fine-tuning and shaping, look for a trimmer with a guide set of five or more nice-looking guides. The more, the better!

You can read a more comprehensive and fantasy-themed article about them here on our blog:  Beard Care Essential Starting Equipment: Part 1

 Stock some Premium Beard Oil, Butter, and Balm

This is one of the fun parts of growing and maintaining a nice-looking beard. Maybe you already know about using hair care products, if not, the ones you use on your head are different than the ones you use on your face.

Like hair care products, you’ll want to choose beard care products that have high-quality ingredients that will benefit the health of your hair and skin. Good news, Tabletop Beard provides premium products with the best natural oils.

We may joke that our products are magical potions, but that’s only because we are huge fans of tabletop games and all things fantasy. The truth is, our team is not just made of wizards, bards, alchemists, and rangers, it is made of men who did not know exactly how to grow a beard when they started too.

What are Beard Oils, Beard Butters, and Beard Balms? Let us Define Each for YouBeard oil – how does beard oil work? Well, it is basically a leave-in conditioner for your facial hair. It will help soften your hair and make it smell nice. Pick a scent (or scents) that represent your mood or personality. At Tabletop Beard, our scents are based on popular fantasy tabletop game classes. Try our Ranger or Bard; both are very popular!Beard butter – also a leave-in conditioner, but it also provides so slight hold too. Those might be the preferred product for people with long or full beards that have a natural shape. Cool thing, our beard butters are in the same scents as our beard oils! Take a look here.Beard balm – primarily a beard styling product that helps care for your hair and skin. Beard balm is great if you are struggling to tame your facial hair. This one has the most hold of the three.Why Use Beard Oil?

People like to ask, what does beard oil do? Think of it like this. Many of the products you have used in the past to wash your face have actually dried out your skin. Beard oil will help rehydrate your skin and beard, therefore preventing dry skin, itch, or beard dandruff. Does beard oil work? Does it help grow your beard? Well, it helps remove the obstacles that will prevent your beard from growing. That’s good news. Beard oil:

Why Use Beard Butter?

Shea butter and coco butter are the most common ingredients you will find in beard butter. Beard butter will soften and tame your facial hairs, which is going to be something you face if you decide to grow something more than a five o’clock shadow. Beard hairs sometimes grow at different lengths and sometimes different consistencies. Expect random and inconsistent hairs that just do not want to behave. Like beard oil, beard butter will help nourish your hair and skin. Beard butter:

Read our fun article about why to use our beard butter. Why You Should Use Beard Butter

Why Use Beard Balm?

Since it is a beard-styling product, you will use it mainly for the hold. Unlike beard oil and beard butter, beard balm is often unscented. It can be used in conjunction with beard oils. Think of riding a motorcycle (or dragon). All that wind will scatter the larger and longer beards. This is when having a container of beard balm on hand will keep you looking your best. Beard bald:

a Tabletop Beard story by Kevin Breaux

It’s a cool winter evening. The wind outside presses so hard against the building that the foundation groans. Balbo Garabaldi is seated inside The Dragon’s Beard, after a long and lively celebration honoring those who have passed. While staring into the roaring fire inside the oversized hearth, he strokes his waist-length beard and reminisces about the not-too-distant past.

“All’s clear boss,” Evelyn says cheerfully on her approach. “We’re closed for the night! Get some rest.”

Balbo nods. “You go ahead up. You’re opening in the morning.”

“You know I can’t sleep after one of your parties. Especially when it’s—”

“I know. I know.”

After giving Balbo’s shoulder a gentle squeeze, she whispers, “You did good tonight. The other clerics were very touched by your speech.”

“Thank you, Evelyn.”

“You’re all deeply retrospective, I can sense it.” She crossed her arms and swung her hips into a more relaxed stance and then smirked. “What fills your ale-soaked mind?”

“That first day… That very first day.”

***

After ages of questing, and gathering enough treasure to buy an entire city, Balbo purchased the inn that would later become the Dragon’s Beard. He wanted to provide a safe place for everyone to eat, drink, and find entertainment. All classes and all races would be welcome in his establishment.

Balbo had adventured with all sorts: elven rangers, human fighters, gnome wizards, halfling rogues, dwarven clerics even a warlock that was part demon. The rewards were many, but the loss of teammates, good people who had become friends, had become too much for him to stomach.

“Are you sure?” Drogan asked.

Drogan Fairstone, a dwarven cleric, was an old friend of Balbo’s. He had quested often with him through the years.  

The once young and bright-eyed man he was had gained more than gems and gold though the years; he had earned valuable wisdom. He had no doubts in his ming; it was time to move on to the next stage of life.

There was a distant howl in the wind, it sounded like a woman’s panicked scream for help. He had heard that voice before, long ago. He knew it he was imagining it now—that person was dead, regardless of it sending a chill down his spine.

“I am, Drogan,” Balbo said while he stretched the stiffness of an old wound out of his arm. “I’m…done.”

“I remember the first time we quested together. You had only a knuckle’s length of wavy beard hair. Do you recall what I told you then?”

“Indeed, I do. You said I looked like a child trying to cover up my inexperience.”

Drogan laughed before he stepped closer to Balbo, just outside the front entrance to the inn. “And look at you now, wearing a fine beard, long, full, brushed nightly by beautiful full-bodied women.”

Balbo laughed back.

“The length of a man’s beard tells a tail of his experience. When it reaches the floor, then the man must decide if it is time to change his ways.”

Balbo pointed at Drogan’s long beard. “You’re getting close, old friend.”

“I have many years of questing ahead of me.”

After he patted Drogan’s shoulder, Balbo smiled. “Teach the young ones, will you? Prepare them better than we were prepared.”

“I will.”

“Good. Now, hand me that fancy glowing hammer of yours.”

Drogan’s war hammer was his most prized possession, Balbo knew this, he was there when he forged it, and there when it was enchanted by a powerful wizard. Once he took the hammer, he aimed it and then used it to pound the post that had the quest board fixed to it into the hard ground.

 “Really, Garabaldi?” Drogan sighed. “Such a use for a legendary holy weapon?”

“Hey, now my quest board is blessed. Right? Ha!“

Drogan took the hammer back as he fought off a smile. “I see there is a quest here that requires a cleric, rogue, and fighter. A goblin den?”

Balbo laughed again. “Reports of 12-15 goblins.”

“What is so funny about 15 unruly goblins?”

“It’s not the goblins that make me laugh, it’s the fighter who is waiting for a rogue and cleric to join him on the quest,” Balbo tilts his head, crinkles his nose, and nods.

“Ahh….” Drogan moans. “Is it someone I know?”

“Yes. Someone you know.”

“Someone whose presence I do not enjoy?”

Balbo nods. “Yes. Someone you do not enjoy.”

“Does this fighter by any chance have red scales and a propensity of getting his squad mates in trouble?”

“He does have red scales.”

The dwarf stomped his feet and groaned. “Curses.”

“Ha! Still want the quest, old friend? This will be the first of my listed quest taken.”

Drogan hefted his war hammer over his shoulder, drew a deep breath and looked Balbo in the eye. “Have I ever turned down a quest?”

“No, no you have not,” Balbo flashed his most charming smile.

“So, where is this goblin den?”

“An old abandoned mine. North of here, in the hills where—”

“I know the place,” Drogan’s voice was filled with confidence.

“Good. Good.”

“I can’t recall, tell me, what was being mined there?”

“I’m told that mine was abandoned a hundred years ago,” Balbo tilted his head in thought. “Gemstones of some sort.”

Drogan smiled as he reached his hand out to shake Balbo’s. “Goblins. Mines. Gemstones.”

“No better quest for a dwarven cleric.”

The two old friends shake hands.

“Are you sure you don’t want to join me?”

Deep down, in many ways, Balbo wished he could.

“I wish you the best of luck, friend. I’ll be here waiting inside the Dragon’s Beard when you come back for your reward.”

If you’ve ever fantasized about, lurking in the shadows, and upholding ancient inhuman laws, then the award-winning Vampire: The Masquerade is the tabletop RPG you need to sink your teeth into. With a rich lore, complex characters, and the promise of eternal (un)life, this game is a thrilling ride through the dark and mysterious world of vampires.

Vampire: The Masquerade was developed by White Wolf Publishing and has held a prominent place in the gaming community since its original release in 1991. The game is part of the larger “World of Darkness” series, which explores various supernatural beings and their interactions with the mortal world. Vampire: The Masquerade focuses on the intricate and often perilous lives of vampires, known as Kindred, who exist in a hidden society parallel to the human world.

We played Vampire for several years (back in the day) and loved it. That said, let us shine a light on several key points that make this game great.

The Masquerade – What is it?

The titular Masquerade refers to the societal norm that Kindred must adhere to in order to keep their existence hidden from humans. Breaking the Masquerade can result in severe consequences from the vampire community, including death. This adds a layer of tension and intrigue, as players must navigate their vampiric abilities while maintaining secrecy.

Vampire: The Masquerade is set in a dark, gothic-punk version of the modern world (starting when the books were released in the 90s). The game’s atmosphere is heavily influenced by themes of horror, politics, and personal tragedy. Cities are depicted as sprawling urban landscapes teeming with secrets and dangers, both supernatural and mundane. The setting is rich with lore, drawing inspiration from various mythologies and horror literature.

One of the things that makes Vampire: The Masquerade so interesting is that it is set in a world that mirrors our own but is shrouded in a veil of night. Here, vampires, or Kindred as they prefer to be called, rule the darkness. Every city is a potential hotbed of intrigue, where ancient power struggles and modern-day schemes intertwine. The setting is ripe for storytelling, with gritty urban backdrops, Gothic mansions, and shadowy alleyways providing the perfect stage for your nocturnal adventures.

Clans and Factions

One of the most appealing aspects of Vampire: The Masquerade is the diversity of its characters. Players can choose from a variety of clans (13 at the start of the series), each with their unique abilities, weaknesses, and history. Will you join the aristocratic Ventrue, the rebellious Brujah, or the enigmatic Tremere? Each clan offers a different flavor of gameplay.

But it’s not just about picking a clan and calling it a night. The game’s rich political landscape means that your character will have to navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries that define Kindred society. The Camarilla, the ruling body of vampires, enforces a strict code known as the Masquerade to keep their existence hidden from humans. Break it, and you risk bringing the wrath of your fellow Kindred upon you.

Tim Bradstreet art.Gameplay filled with Blood, Betrayal, and Battle!

At its core, Vampire: The Masquerade is about storytelling. The game master, known as the Storyteller, weaves a narrative that the players navigate through their actions and decisions. Whether you’re brokering a truce between rival factions, hunting down a rogue Kindred, fighting werewolves, or simply trying to make it through the night without your secrets being exposed, every session is filled with suspense and drama.

Mechanically, the game uses a system of dice rolls to determine the outcome of actions, but it’s the role-playing that truly brings the game to life. Players are encouraged to delve deep into their characters’ psyches, exploring their motivations, fears, and desires. This can lead to some truly memorable moments, from tense standoffs to heartfelt confessions.

Since its release, Vampire: The Masquerade has had a profound impact on the RPG genre and popular culture. It was one of the first games to introduce a modern-day setting and a focus on personal horror, influencing countless other RPGs and media. The game has spawned numerous editions, supplements, and adaptations, including video games, novels, and a television series.

Vampire: The Masquerade introduced several innovations to the RPG genre too, including the focus on narrative over mechanics, and the exploration of mature themes. Its success paved the way for other games in the “World of Darkness” series and inspired a new wave of RPGs that prioritize storytelling and character-driven gameplay.

You might notice, after reading the handbooks, that some of your favorite books and TV shows have borrowed from this role-playing system.

You will soon learn that Vampire: The Masquerade is not just a game; it’s an experience. It’s a chance to explore the darker side of human nature, to walk in the shoes of a creature that is both predator and prey. With its immersive setting, compelling characters, and emphasis on storytelling, it’s no wonder that it has remained a beloved staple of gamers in the tabletop RPG community for decades.

Whether you are drawn to the political machinations of the Kindred or the personal struggle to retain humanity, Vampire: The Masquerade offers a compelling and unforgettable journey into the dark heart of the World of Darkness.

So, gather your fellow Kindred, light the candles, and prepare for a night of blood, betrayal, and banter. Vampire: The Masquerade is a game that will leave you thirsting for more.
