Sometimes my fellow gamers will ask me what is your favorite Role Playing Game. That is almost the same as asking me your favorite; child. I love them all equally. It's impossible for me to pick which game in my library is my favorite. So I'm just gonna make a list of them, in no particular order!

1. Sixth World

Sixth World is a Dungeon World hack of Shadowrun. Like Shadowrun, it is a cyberpunk urban fantasy setting that takes place in a world that is filled with corporate intrigue, crime, paranoia, and betrayal. However it strips away Shadowrun's clunky d6 based system and rebuilds it to use most of the standard d20 set of dice. Also Sixth World places more focus on narrative than stats and skills.

2. Kuro

Kuro is a French cyberpunk horror game that takes place in near future Japan. As one can infer, it is inspired by Japanese horror films, anime, and manga. The system uses 2d6 which is added to a character's attribute or skill value. The game blends the horror and cyberpunk elements masterfully, producing interesting adventure seeds. Example: imagine the Ju-on (or the Grudge, for you American audiences) equipped with cybernetic powers coming after YOU. Yeah, it's that INTENSE.

3. Pathfinder

A reworking of the world's oldest role playing game. Pathfinder takes its predecessor's flaws and problems and completely removes or fixes them. Not only is the game totally and legally 100% free (at www.d20pfsrd.com), but the Open Game License allows you to make and publish your own content for the game! The game uses your standard array of d20 dice (which for you non-gamers is a d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and a d20).

4. Rifts

One of the most talked about games in the role playing games in the gaming community, Rifts takes place in the far future where and magicians and psychics run amok in Post Apocalyptic Earth. Often praised for its setting and shunned for its clunky system and lack of editing, the system is percentile yet uses a d20 for some rolls.

5. Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition

I just heard most gaming otaku just lose their collective shit right now. For those not in the know, the 4th edition of Dungeons and Dragons was considered to be the worst edition in the franchise's 40-year history. They took the standard d20 rules and made twisted them around to make the game appeal to the console and PC gamers. Anyways, this game uses the d20 system but focuses on miniature use and combat over role playing. But still, this was my first role playing game and is near and dear to my heart!

And that's it with this list ladies and gentlemen! I hoped you guys enjoyed it. Give my RPG Facebook page a like!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
