Dungeon 23 and why I stopped, for now

Just a little update, nothing much in the way of RPG stuff, more a therapeutic post for myself.

How many attributes are enough?

Where do they come from? When thinking about game design, the idea of Attributes for a character is one of the basic things many of us first learned about when we started in the hobby. Strength, that is a pretty easy one to understand. Intelligence, well we all know what that means. Then we get … Continue reading How many attributes are enough? →

Riding the Mastodon

This is not a post about a cool new mount in some game that I found somewhere, though come on people I think it is obvious that there needs to be this somewhere. No, and if you've been paying attention to the world, you have probably seen that a certain trillionaire recently purchased an (already) defunct social media platform for an amount of money most people will never understand.

The L. F. stands for Luxurious and Fancy

f you are new to this hobby of TTRPGs. If you are looking for awesome production of finely crafted items. If you're looking for nifty (possibly) collectible items. If you want to support one of the kindest people in the industry.

Magic in Whitehack

Magic casting is often a make it or break it for me in a game. One of my favorite systems comes from Whitehack by Christian Mehrstan... ...Whatever the result the conversation happens quickly, it is not meant to be a long drawn out process, referencing tables and charts looking up damage dice and rolling only to have your spell fizzle out, for a wasted casting and even worse a wasted turn for the wizardly character.

He said it was so broken, it soaks up the souls of slain demons … Continue reading Power gaming with kids! →

Mazes: A Review

Mazes was a series of zine sized books turned describing a game where each player only gets a single die for which to play the game with. The referee never needs to roll dice and the game plays like an old school dungeon crawler. It claims to support both one shots and long term campaign … Continue reading Mazes: A Review →

Golden Age of Khares

The Golden Age of Khares, currently Kickstarting. Do not miss out on this one!

School’s back in session… A Tomb review.

I am now even more excited to play this game with the students, there are just enough rules to keep them focused but not so many as to stifle or stop their creativity!

#TTRPGRedList

First off, all I can say is fuck those dudes. Seriously, making a list of TTRPG publishers who care about the world and the people living in it and advising people not to play them? Who the hell are these fascists? I made the mistake of hopping on twitter this morning and found a post … Continue reading #TTRPGRedList →
