The truth is that allergies and heat are still being very unkind to the rare Ballard Spotted Bruce, but I have something in hand I want to enthuse about anyway: The Book of Glorious Joy, written by Jamie Revell. I’ve had this in proof form for a while now, and am delighted that it’s finally [...]
Rather than reviewing a particular book today, I’m going to talk about how a setting I’ve long been interested in opened up for me in the “I want to run this, and feel I can” way.
One of my regular players, Lon Braidwood, is the biggest fan of Fading Suns I know personally. Other folks [...]
More Pathfinder-compatible fun today, featuring the ever-capable Owen K.C. Stephens’ Anachronistic Adventurers: The Enforcer, a 19-page PDF available from DriveThruRPG for $2.99 US. Owen writes his own introductions just fine, so I’ll quote:
The enforcer is the epitome of the modern fighting combatant, from professional soldier to citizen militia, mercenary-of-fortune to experienced insurgent, and [...]
Tonight I’m looking at an adventure for 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons, The Adventures of Frank Frazetta’s Death Dealer: Shadows of Mirahan. Some of you need to stop laughing, and some of you need to go fire up any convenient heavy metal or hard rock album to listen to while reading this. (In case you’re not [...]
A couple days ago, I burbled about a book for people playing intelligent but not anthropomorphic animals. Today I’ve got the logical companion to that: Fursona: The Definitive Guide to Creating Anthropomorphic Characters, by Chris A. Field. This is a 105-page PDF, available for $9.99 from DriveThruRPG. It’s written with the Pathfinder RPG in [...]
Today I’m going to praise The Noble Wild, a D&D 3.x supplement by Lee Garvin. It’s a 168-page PDF for sale for $8.99 US at DriveThruRPG. The subtitle is “An Animal Player’s Handbook for Fantasy Role-Playing Games”, and that’s just what this is: a book about playing characters who are intelligent but still animals. [...]
The Neat Gaming post series will be shared between 20′ by 20′ Room and Google+. Here’s the Google+ comment in which I announced my intention:
I got really grumpy tonight about some of the usual cascades of gamer negativity tonight, and I’ve decided to do something about it. My new goal is to write about [...]
Inspired by a post of Plume’s over on rpg.net, I wrote down a game sketch for detective roleplaying I’ve been thinking about for a while. It’s a sketch, because it’s not finished, but I think most of the essential features…
(Crossposted to my LiveJournal, comments welcome either place.) I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting for Lions on the Precipice, Jonathan Walton’s notional Dogs in the Vineyard expansion. I’m still waiting, but in the meantime, this emo snippet…
Saturday, we played Nine Worlds again. The highlight of the session is probably when Hypatia pit her magic against Prometheus’s, and beat him, on live television broadcast across the Nine Worlds. She resolved her Muse to humiliate Prometheus, and now…
