Table top games take us back to the good ole gaming days, before we had to plug in to play.
Henchmen and Goons
When most of us think of overcoming challenges in an RPG, we tend to focus on our personal characters (or our party of characters), and what things they are capable of doing themselves. And while that makes total sense for tales of heroic fantasy, where our characters are the fulcrum on which the universe turns, not all games operate this way either thematically, or mechanically.

Spirits of Battle
"There is malice in this sword. The dark heart of the smith still dwells in it. It will not love the hand it serves, neither will it abide with you long." —Melian on Anglachel (The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XXI: "Of Túrin Turambar")

The "Amateur" Adventurer
When we think of so-called adventurers, we tend to think of those who are in it for the money. Those men and women who turn up to get a share of a lost pirate treasure, a dragon's horde, or at least a pouch of gold coins for bringing in a bandit bounty, or ending the threat from a nearby goblin cave. However, the idea of professionalism is one that we might be able to look at through another lens. Because the way we think of them now is different from the way we once did.

My DM Journal
My first session DMing I had been offered a chance to DM a oneshot. I was loaned some books by the previous Dungeon Master and with some help from a friend I was able to have the larger group on a short adventure to save my character from that campaign. Brynn had been a Tiefling Druid with an Ocean circle set up. I had chosen pretty blindly but I rolled her up and doodled how I wanted her to look on the sheet. we got to a point where the DM had gotten tired of writing out his campaign or buying one shots and we did a few intermittent game nights before I asked if I could try it out which was no problem. The others in the group had no problems with any of it or said they wouldn't make it.

The Counterspeller: Turning Off Your Enemy's Magic
Magic is one of the great powers in any fantasy RPG. It allows one to shape the face of the cosmos, to control the minds of a populace, to call lightning from the skies, or to render the most powerful warrior little more than a broken, mewling weakling. And while magic may be in short supply among one's enemies rather early in a campaign, spells and spell-like abilities are some of the most common tools used by antagonists once things really start rolling.

Witch-Knights: Warriors of the Lost Gods
On the lost world of Arathia, hidden from the rest of the Multiverse, there was a terrible betrayal. One god, the Measurer, grown corrupt and tyrannical, cast his divine kin into an inescapable prison. From this well of infinite silence they could not hear or answer the prayers of their worshipers. Cut off from the gods, the holy warriors of this world could no longer use their priestly powers. The minions of the dark god of stone ruled with an iron fist, grinding away all joy from the lives of the people of Arathia. This was the start of the Grey Times, an era of endless toil, fear, and oppression.
