Turn Family Game Night Into a Real Adventure ROLL THE DICE ON FUN

Has Monopoly caused one too many fights? Are you tired of stockpiling resources in Settlers of Catan? Maybe it’s time to introduce your family to a new kind of game, one where you control the story and a single roll of the dice can change everything. This is the world of tabletop role-playing games (RPGs), where players embark on epic adventures under the supervision of a central Game Master. There are a lot of RPGs out there to choose from; here are a few your whole family can get into. Go On a Quest: Dungeons and Dragons The first. The biggest. The king of tabletop RPGs. Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) has been around since 1974, though shows like “Community” and “Stranger Things” have only recently helped the fantasy game gain mainstream

acclaim. There are a lot of rules involved in the gameplay, so D&D can seem overwhelming to new players. But once you become familiar with the game, there are limitless options for characters and quests. How will a human fighter, an elf wizard, and a dwarf cleric save the world? Roll the dice and find out. Become Super: Masks If your family has ever had a long conversation about who would win in a fight between the Hulk and Superman, then Masks is the RPG for you. Fly into Halcyon City where your family can take on the role of a team of young superheroes. Create your own hero and work together to make the world a better place. Fight supervillains, rescue citizens, and ultimately determine who has the best superpower. Solve a Mystery: Bubblegumshoe Did you grow up reading “Nancy Drew”? Are your kids all about BBC’s “Sherlock”? Then Bubblegumshoe is the game for you. This teen sleuth adventure is geared toward younger players, so it’s easier to start than other games on this list. Don’t worry if you’re not a mystery writer; the game comes with prewritten stories for your brilliant characters to solve. The villain might have gotten away with it if it weren’t for your meddling kids!

What are you waiting for? Grab some dice and get the party started!

What to Do When You’re Injured DOG BITES

When you’ve gotten away from the dog and are at a safe place, wash the wound as soon as possible, because dogs’

During summer, everyone is eager to get outdoors and enjoy the sun, but that also means there will be a lot more dogs walking around. While everyone at The Champion Firm is just as excited as the next person to see our four-legged friends out and about more often, we also want to put out a word of caution. Dog bites are among the most frequent injuries that occur throughout the United States, and it can be beneficial to prepare for a worst-case scenario. Preventing Dog Bites The best way to avoid a dog bite is to be wary, especially with unfamiliar dogs. Before you interact with an unfamiliar dog, always ask the owner if it's okay to approach and pet them. If a dog approaches you, remain still. Keep in mind that a dog will bite when it feels threatened, scared, overly stressed, or when it wants to protect something or someone. What Should I Do? In the event of a dog attack, try to put your jacket, purse, or bag between you and the dog. If the dog knocks you to the ground, curl up into a ball and cover your head, neck, and ears.

mouths contain bacteria and germs which can cause infections. If the injury is serious, or if a minor wound worsens over time, seek medical help immediately.

Involving an Attorney The owner of the dog may be liable for the dog bite, depending on the situation. In the city of Atlanta, a dog owner may be held liable if the person knew the dog was dangerous and/or the owner was in violation of a law that required the dog be either confined or on a leash. We also encourage you to see if the owner has insurance that can cover the bite. More often than not, the owner won’t have insurance for dog bites, but you are still entitled to be compensated for any missed work, pain and suffering, and medical bills. If you or someone you know has suffered from a dog bite, call The Champion Firm today. We can talk to you about your options and do our best to ensure you’re fully compensated for the incident.
