Welcome to RPG Storytelling

RPG Storytelling is dedicated to you, the players and game masters of the various and numerous role-playing and tabletop role-playing games around the world . . . and off-world.

It is our mission and goal to assist both RPG players and those who lead the games (commonly referred to as Dungeon Masters, Game Masters, Lore Keepers, etc.) by offering them writing prompts, tutorials, templates, and videos about how to create fun, intriguing, and in-depth character backstories.

While there are tons of resources out there to assist the person who is leading the game, we here at RPG Storytelling felt it was about time that there was a place that is primarily (but not exclusively) dedicated to assisting the player(s) in developing their characters beyond the RPG system's specific character building mechanics (A.K.A. what the character can do).

While a character backstory can be as short as a few sentences and as long as an epic novel, the important thing to remember is that it should focus on your character's life before they started the first session of your current game. This is the place where you get to explore and discuss who your character was before they became a World Champion Adventurer.

Using the Grain Prompts - Backstory Starters, Videos on Demand, and all other tutorial articles and templates offered through RPG Storytelling, you will quickly start to find that you know more about your character than you initially thought you did. And your Game Master will certainly thank you for it by including those backstory elements into the game so as to further draw both you and your character even deeper into the game's storyline.

Happy Gaming!!

Questlandia Game Day | Medusa's Wake

Join our fun-loving cast as they attempt to the terror of The Gorgon. "The Story So Far" - from the adventure's introduction Unbeknownst to the adventuring party, a vile monster has taken shelter in an abandoned cave a day’s travel outside of town. The creature’s vicious attacks and growing number of victims has all but halted trade for the bustling metropolis and its surrounding towns and villages and threatens to upset the very ecosystem the city is built upon. The monster – known colloquially as The Gorgon – leaves no survivors and has responded to any attempt at diplomacy by turning its pursuers to stone with little more than a glance. Desperate to find a group of warriors strong enough to standup to The Gorgon and survive, the city’s Merchants Guild has called upon the local coliseum to hold a series of gladiatorial games open to all who dare. The Colosseum, known for epic battles of man versus mighty beast, may just be the test of mettle the city needed to find the fighters and bring this monster down… ================================================== Questlandia Game Nights (a service of RPG Storytelling) was developed based on the decades old pastime of family game nights.

Questlandia Game Day | Urbil's Fools

Created and written by Griffin Porche and currently available for purchase (https://bit.ly/3xerzdN), "Urbil's Fools" is the third game for RPG Storytelling's Questlandia Game Nights. Our third rotation of community players had a blast as they found their characters battling against consistent "high" rolls and reversed opponent Ability Scores (lower d20 rolls hit while higher d20 rolls miss). Guess we can blame this one on the Deck of Many Things. From the DMs Guild website: Urbil's Fools is a one-shot adventure designed for April Fools' Day, but makes for a great adventure anytime you want to do something whimsical with your party. The adventure features a mischievous nilbog who has flipped luck on its head, and it's up to the player characters to put a stop to him before he recovers a legendary item that can only make things worse for his gullible victims! Urbil's Fools is intended for a party of 3rd-6th level characters, but can easily be adjusted for a party of any level, and contains roughly 4 hours of adventure. This modular one-shot breaks all of its encounters into "Scenes," allowing you to choose the best one to start your players in, and allowing for a very customizable experience while still being supported by the amount of structure required to make a satisfying one-shot adventure. ================================================== Questlandia Game Nights (a service of RPG Storytelling) was developed based on the decades old pastime of family game nights.

Black and currently available for purchase ( https://bit.ly/3eV1z0l ), "Magic Village for Sale" became the inaugural One-Shot game for the launch of the new Questlandia Game Nights. Our first rotation of community players had a blast as they found their characters shrunken down to only an inch tall in this "Honey I Shrunk the Kids"-esque adventure within the Dungeons & Dragons game world. Adventure information from the DMSGuild.com website: Tristan Harpell, a self-centered though likeable young mage, has bought a magic village! A month ago he sent his servant off to take possession of it, and he's heard nothing since. Our heroes are sent to investigate - and find an adventure unlike anything they've experienced before... Magic Village for Sale is a 3-4 hour adventure for characters of 4th-5th level. It features exploration, role-playing and thrilling combat encounters...
