Hello fellow game master,
Thank you so much for visiting and for your interest in RoleplayingTips.com. My name is Johnn Four and this site and the Roleplaying Tips Newsletter have been running since November 1999.
I started this site for a selfish reason: to improve my own game mastering skills. I thought if I shared my own tips and experiences then others would send in tips of their own. It is amazing the tremendous response this little project has received….and my GMing has improved greatly! I hope my subscribers’ games have benefitted as well.
My goal is to make this site the Internet’s premier resource for game masters all around the world. You have a lot of knowledge to share, whether you know it or not, just from your life’s experiences and skills, if not from actual experience at the game table. Please subscribe to the Roleplaying Tips Newsletter (low volume & SPAM-free), enjoy the tips, and share some of your own for everyone’s benefit.

About Johnn
Well, let’s keep this part mercifully brief, shall we? I read a joke recently and laughed about how a roleplayer’s dice were now old enough to vote…but then my dice received their registration card in the mail and I stopped laughing.
My favorite system is Dungeons & Dragons. It was the only system I played for many years and it became “hard wired” into my brain. The same with my players.
I started roleplaying in elementary school when my grade 5 teacher let a student run a game for the whole class. He had pre-made 20 characters, handed them out and cracked open good ol’ B2 – Keep On The Borderlands. Within the hour 14 kids were off doing their own thing and six of us stuck it out. I remember getting paralyzed and then slain by a carrion crawler. Cool. So we played during lunch breaks thereafter until the DM moved out of town.
Then my friend received a D&D boxed set for Christmas and I started DMing. I was hooked and bought the AD&D books soon afterwards. By that summer my friend had 50th level characters named Merlin, Conan and Thor, and we were going through the monster manual in alphabetic order slaying every type of monster on the way. LOL.
Do you have any questions about Roleplaying Tips or Johnn four that weren’t covered here? Drop me a note. Thanks!
Cant help but notice there is no seach feature in your blog or news letter archives…
Or is it just me??
Sorry but you have a lot of great content, and sifting through it manually is going to take for ever.
I read your awesome newsletter all the time. I just don’t get to the website to often, and I remember it having a prety good search the last incarnation I visited.
Long time fan

Top right hand side on the bar at the top of the page is the “search” function.
On my screen (firefox 4.0) the far right hand side is a button for a “feed burner” RPT link. Am I missing something?
Thanks for the feedback, John.
When I switched from the clunky old CMS to WordPress, I picked a theme without a search function.
I hope to get that fixed soon.
