Review: James D’Amato’s ‘The Ultimate RPG Character Backstory Guide’ Will Have You Reaching For Dice!

One of the most enjoyable aspects of playing role-playing games (RPGs) is the ability to create an avatar of you to go on perilous adventures may they involve lifting curses, protecting villages from bandits, stealing relics from trolls, or befriending a dragon to fulfill a prophecy. Sometimes people have trouble coming up with a believable character or find it difficult to really “know” their character which may make their character not enjoyable to fellow RPG adventurers. James D’Amato’s book “The Ultimate RPG Character Backstory Guide” will help you bring your character(s) to life! After reading this book I see it’s more than a “how to” book, it’s an interactive tome that makes creating your character fun and unique! If you’re new to the whole RPG world like me, don’t be afraid of this book! Each chapter is based off skill level, just like RPG games you start from level 1 and work your way up as you gain more experience!

Travel Channels’ Series “Monster Encounters” Introduces Viewers To Nightmare Causing Creatures

Sometimes, the monsters we create in our imagination are not nearly as frightening as the beasts that lurk outside in the real world. Travel Channel‘s new Series “Monster Encounters” will introduce viewers to some of those nightmarish, deadly creatures. Wildlife expert Casey Anderson is not afraid to get dangerously close to the largest and fiercest creatures on the planet.

This October ‘Cucuy: The Boogeyman’ Is Coming To SyFy

Cucuy: The Boogeyman is coming to SyFy this October! Hybrid Entertainment’s original movie is a timely twist on the indelible legend of a story young children are told by their mothers about a Latin American boogeyman known as the Cucuy who would come at night to snatch misbehaving children and take them back to his cave to be eaten. Directed by Peter Sullivan (who helmed Stan Lee’s The Sandman, SyFy’s runaway hit last October), this highly anticipated seasonal gem is set in fictional Glimmer Peak, the kind of small town where nothing ever happens. As the Cucuy, the Mexican Boogeyman, is known for preying on misbehaving children, we chose to revolve the story around a troubled teen currently on house arrest, says director Sullivan. We shot in an abandoned neighborhood on the site of a former state hospital in Pomona, CA. The facility, no longer in use, provided an additional uneasy quality to the film’s aesthetic,” he emphasized. “The holiday
