In this video about Video Games and Tabletop Games like D&D I ask the question why if women enjoy these hobbies do we not see more of them displaying it in public? I have seen numbers that state 47% of Video Game Players are women. Also from my experiences women really enjoy Tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and many other great games.
Why don’t we see more women participating at in store events and buying these things in the stores? Do they just order their things online and then participate with only close friends?
I want to encourage everyone to invite people to your games regardless of gender. You never know who might enjoy some of your games that you enjoy. It is my passion to help grow this great hobby and I hope you will join me in attempting to grow it.

The Fifth Edition of Dungeons and Dragons has been out for a couple of months now and I have had the chance to play it quite a few times now both as a Player and a Dungeon Master. In the coming weeks and months I will be doing a Dungeons and Dragons Basics series where I will be teaching my viewers how to play D&D5e. Hope you will come along for the ride and hopefully take something from this series. This first video is about the very core basics of the system.
The first video in our series D&D5e Basics is all about the foundation of D&D5e. I talk about the d20 mechanics with advantage and disadvantage. I also discuss Inspiration. In future videos we will continue to build upon previous ones.
Dungeons and Dragons fifth edition is the worlds most popular tabletop role-playing game and this version of it has really taken off with fans. Fifth edition and united many fans from previous editions under one solid rpg.
This series will teach D&D newbs how to play from the beginning. If you are a beginner to tabletop rpgs this series is perfect for you.

Some of you may know but I belong to the YouTube RPG Brigade. It is a community for tabletop RPG discussion. There are all sorts of people in the community who play all sorts of games. It is wonderfully diverse. Below is the post that inspired this blog post. This post was posted in the Facebook group YouTube RPG Brigade and I commented there but will explain here.
Alright everyone. Time to try something out…
In the comments section below, you are allowed to post one thing you believe and hold true in the world and mechanics of tabletop RPG gaming. Whether it be a house rule, player philosophy, or opinion about the RPG community as a whole, it’s your call. But you can only post ONE thing.
Thing is, you can’t reply to anyone else’s posts (“Likes” are permitted, of course). You may post your own belief, but that’s it.
So let us begin! Have at!
For me the one thing that I live by with all things I am interested in is that I will always try to bring people to the hobby and not further away. This is exactly what I said on the Facebook post “Do whatever you can to be an ambassador to tabletop rpgs. Bring people to the hobby and don’t drive anybody away from the hobby. Bite the bullet sometimes for the greater good of the hobby/industry.”
As a fan of tabletop role-playing games I want to see the industry thrive and be great! I want nothing more than all companies that produce role-playing games to do well so they can possibly draw more people to this great hobby. The more people that love this hobby the more products, systems, and players we will have. This means more opportunities to do what we love.
Who doesn’t want more opportunities to do the things they love? We should spend our time promoting the hobby and that is the one thing I want to say. This is a call out to all of you to go out and do something to promote the hobby. Get out and invite new people to game with you and your groups.
Hello fans!
It’s been about 10 months since I have posted here and after reading my previous posts I decided I should get back to posting here. A lot has changed in 10 months. Back when I posted before I had limited gaming experience with table top role playing games but had been reading, and watching a lot of things to get better at the hobby myself. My life now is not where I expected it to be but it is for the better.
My wife and I got married in June of 2013. My wife got a new job in Grand Rapids so we relocated and are currently staying with the in-laws but will be in our own home downtown within the next month.I am now in the real estate business and couldn’t be more thrilled. It is going well so far but I am still trying to get in the flow of things.
In 10 months before moving I was playing in D&D Encounter for a few months. Also have played a couple one offs online in chat rooms. We currently play in a bi-weekly D&D2e game with my wifes brothers family, and are in the process of looking for a Pathfinder or D&D Next group over here to host at our new home we are getting.
2014 is shaping up to be a nice year for me, my blog, YouTube channel, Facebook page, and Google + page. Just search for Juce734 on any of those if you want to subscribe to me.
Thanks,

In this video on my youtube channel I interview my fiance about gaming. In the future I may interview her again. If you have any specific questions you want me to ask her please comment on this video on my youtube channel with your questions. Thank you!
This here is my first post on my RPG Blog. I am not sure how often I will be writing a blog but I can tell you this I am currently very active on my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/Juce734 so be sure to check that out. On the channel I talk about all sorts of things mostly related to RPGs. Occasionally I will talk about sports, video games, or some other topic but all videos are named by Subject followed by video title. (example – RPG: GM Tip #1)
So a little bit about me… I have been into gaming since I was about 11 or 12 years old. I am 28 now and don’t actually have a lot of gaming experience. My first taste of RPGs even though I didn’t really realize it was Heroquest when I was 7 years old. I owned two copies of that game and I played with all of the pieces and props like they were toys. Don’t know if I ever played the game for more than a level or two. Also was exposed to video games early on like Zelda for NES.
The very first RPG game I played was Heroes Unlimited by Palladium Books. That campaign quickly turned into Rifts though as my Alien and his new friends on Earth were sucked into a Rift by way of a terrible storm and tornado. I didn’t really want to play in Rifts though and the game quickly died after that. It was a few years before I played again. When I did it was in the Palladium Books Chatroom and I never played for very long.
Then when I was 24 I met my now fiance and noticed she had D&D books. We began to talk about gaming and decided to play together. So she GMed a 2nd edition game while I GMed a Heroes Unlimited game. That went on for a few months until the other players in our group stopped playing. Since then though I have regained my thirst and have found a group nearby which helped get me into Palladium Fantasy. By way of watching youtube videos put up by members of the Youtube RPG Brigade I am recently getting into Pathfinder.
So I think I have some experience with different games and hopefully I offer some good content for you to enjoy. Be sure to subscribe to this blog if any of this sounds interesting to you. In the future I hope to get a podcast going on blogtalkradio, grow my youtube channel significantly, and hold local games at my library and gaming stores to help grow the hobby. Always looking to network with fellow gamers. Another aspiration of mine is to possibly release a PDF RPG Magazine either monthly or quarterly.
