Tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) have been around for decades and have seen a surge in popularity in recent years. When I was younger the hobby was a very particular niche which led to the stereotype of the bookish, stickler-for-detail nerd. Nowadays this has changed to be more inclusive and attracts people from all demographics, young, and old, it doesn't matter everyone seems to be giving TTRPGs a try and I am overjoyed to see such an influx of people looking to the hobby. The great thing about the hobby is that it offers a unique and immersive experience where players create their own stories and characters, and take part in thrilling adventures. If you're new to tabletop RPGs, getting started can be intimidating, but fear not, I will outline a guide to what I feel will help you get started on your TTRPG journey!

Over the last few blog posts, I have outlined several nerdom-related stories or recommendations I have for nerd stuff. I thought I would go through how being a nerd has literally saved my life over the course of many years. 

Hi Everybody, Scott here again. I was wracking my mind about something that you would hopefully find interesting and something that struck me was that a lot of people these days who have come into the hobby in the last few years, due to one reason or another, would only really have experience of 5e DnD. 

Hi Scott, here again. Time to open the vault doors to the good old days of my gaming life. early nineties was a time where being on the fringes of social society meant being kept out of a lot of the "normal" activities everyone else enjoyed, sports, popular music and in later years being one of the cool kid who could manage to get cheap bottles of alcohol on a Friday night, to sit in a dark and dank place, hidden from sight and "hangout" talking rubbish.

Hi Scott here, I thought I would have a look at the development of the TTRPG(Tabletop roleplaying game) genre over the course of my gaming career(life). It is great to see the massive influx of people willing to give the medium a try and even better to see the number of people who have decided to stick around and dive head first into the wonderful world of imagination.
