The Importance of a Good Sidekick
One of the most overlooked characters in writing is the sidekick. Far too often, the character is limited to comedy relief and that's a shame; the sidekick can be used for so much more. Properly used, the sidekick can be one of your best tools and make your job that much easier.

Making Fighters That Much Scarier
One of the biggest problems in fantasy is that fighters can be easily overpowered by mages. While the fighter usually just has to outlast the mage, that can be hazardous to the fighter; the mage is still summoning nasty creatures and throwing fireballs, and that assumes that the mage doesn't have a small spectrum of powerful items to potentially bring to bear (which they usually do). However, with a little planning, the fighter can put the odds in his favor.

Traps of the Social Kind
Too many players (and referees) forget that the "RPG" part of "TTRPG" stands for "role-playing game." While the players have no problem getting into specific roles and do their best to act in those roles, the scenarios they tend to find themselves in are pretty much some variation of a fight, be it in a dungeon, bar, or forest; there are few scenarios of the non-combat type. It may be useful to think about different types of social challenges just to shake things up and to give people a chance to try something else.

More Than Rough Brigands
Every so often you see someone point out that thieves' guilds could not possibly exist because they are so unrealistic. This is because the person saying this doesn't understand the idea of either how organized crime works or how secret organizations work. It doesn't help that most of these people are working with fantasy worlds; if you can accept the idea of fireballs, dragons, and talking swords as everyday problems, why is the idea of a thieves' guild such a problem? However, it may not be a bad idea to look at how these groups function and how they serve a practical purpose in most fantasy worlds.

The Void Priest
The mob roared, a hundred mouths all giving rise to a single cry as they raised their torches high, marching upon the hill. There were no words to that roar, and no individual voices; they were all subsumed into the single, overwhelming whole. Men and women both had become part of one beast, and that beast surged forward in search of blood. When they crested the hilltop, they found the woman they sought standing in the center of the open field, her eyes closed, and her lips moving silently in the starlight.
