What Will Escaping from Tarkov Actually Consist Of?
(Intro) We’ve all wondered this question: what will escaping from Tarkov actually look like as a game mechanic? With the knowledge that BSG wants this game to reach 1.0 by the end of the year, it makes sense that these kinds of question begin to pop up. All we know currently is that we don’t have any of the critical quests we will need to complete to beat the game, and that Terminal is going to be our golden ticket out of here. But there are still so many questions left unanswered: What is the new story progression going to look like? What will we need to do to reach the end game? How much of the game will we go through before the option to leave becomes available? A lot of unique and interesting questions that we never really had to think about. Everyone kind of hand-waved the idea of reaching 1.0 off, as the years went on because it just felt like BSG was never going to get there. But they are determined to see it through by the end of 2025 and I hope they can deliver on that timeline. In the meantime, I think asking, answering and coming up with some hypothesis about what Tarkov will look like with all the main quests integrated is interesting and compelling. So, let’s do just that; what will the players in EFT do in order to beat the game, and finally escape from Tarkov?

The Sanctified Killer
The arch deacon entered the chapel with no fanfare. She was not clothed in her ceremonial regalia, but only in her simple robes, the badge of her office emblazoned over her breast. She gestured for her two guardians to stay behind. Kostar opened his mouth to object, and the arch deacon raised an eyebrow.

Silent Raids in Tarkov are the Most Stressful
(Intro) Silence in EFT can be some of the most stressful moments in the game. Many have called Tarkov a horror game, and for good reason. You’re minding your own business, casually going about your raid when out of nowhere, you start taking fire from either an AI or player. Things can go from zero to one hundred so fast in this game; it’s those moments where if you are able to survive and get your bearings, that can really define a raid and create a core memory that’ll last during your time in EFT. But if raids were that high octane all the time, it would quickly become a novelty. It would feel more like a traditional battle royale game instead of an immersive and difficult extraction shooter. You need to find a balance between the fast paced and intense moments, with the slower and more quiet moments in each raid. Leaning too heavily into either side creates problem points in the game that ruins the replay value. Sure, you can have opportunities where each of these moments might appear more often based on numerous outside factors, but what a lot of developers don’t get right is the dance between the two. Luckily, BSG did a fantastic job walking that tightrope in EFT. So, let’s talk about how difficult it can be to find a healthy medium between raids that are jam packed with action, and other raids that are just sightseeing in any given map. When you don’t hear anything going on inside a raid, that’s when you should be the most concerned.

How to Handle Problem Players in D&D (Without Killing the Vibe)
Being a Dungeon Master is a rewarding but challenging role. You're the storyteller, referee, world-builder—and occasionally, the conflict mediator. While most game nights are filled with laughs, creativity, and epic moments, every DM eventually faces a difficult truth: problem players happen. Whether it’s the spotlight hog, the rules lawyer, or the player who treats the game like a PvP battle royale, disruptive behavior can derail even the best campaigns.

Best D&D 5e Backgrounds for Roleplaying Potential: Unlocking Rich Storytelling Beyond Mechanics
In Dungeons & Dragons 5e, character backgrounds are often overlooked in favor of flashy subclasses or min-maxed builds.

Creating Memorable NPCs: A Guide for Dungeon Masters
In any Dungeons & Dragons campaign, your players might expect epic battles, ancient dragons, and magical artifacts—but what they'll remember most are the characters they meet along the way. Non-player characters (NPCs) are more than just background noise or quest dispensers. When crafted well, NPCs bring your world to life, enrich your storytelling, and offer players emotional investment beyond the next encounter.
