TTRPG Tip! Players when making your characters, put together a short list of possible storyhooks. And even it isn't used as written, it can be still be helpful for your DM/GM/ST as possible ideas/inspirations.

Role-Play Tip: Conversations on the Road

We all know them: the times your DM says "you travel for x hours and arrive at your destination," "you walk along for x days," "travel on this road is slow, but you eventually arrive." So often, this 'missing time' of hours, days, or even weeks is reduced to a single sentence with no encounters, skill challenges, or role-play to speak of. Players! I encourage you to fill in this dead airtime with role-play. Think about how many times you went on a long road trip or a long hike with other people. Did you all spend the entire trip in total silence? Did nothing interesting happen whatsoever? Of course not. People share stories, talk about their feelings, tell jokes, and all sorts of similar things whenever they travel somewhere for an extended period of time. Your characters probably would too, don't you think? So, Players, next time your DM starts to say "the trip is uneventful," say "actually, my character wants to talk to one of their companions." This will allow you to practice Role-Play, increase bonds between people both in and out of character, and really help everyone at the table come to understand who your character is as a person. Besides, role-playing is fun!

DM Tips: Pathfinder DCs

Pathfinder is the eccentric cousin of Dungeons & Dragons. For those that don’t know the history, when DnD moved on to 4e there were a significant number of players that did not like the changes and they took the 3.5e rules and ran away to make their own system. Pathfinder is that system and it has only grown into its own crazy distant relative of the more predictable (and somewhat stodgy) DnD in the intervening time.

DMing Pathfinder can be a bit tricky. For someone used to running 5e, Pathfinder produces some numbers and abilities that might boggle the mind.

One of the hardest things new Pathfinder DMs face is determining what a fair DC is for any given task. I’m hoping that this guide will help!
