GROGNARDIA – Sat, 16 November, 05:00 AM

As I mentioned previously, one of the highlights of this year's Gamehole Con was attending Marc Miller's panels, where he talked about Game Designers' Workshop and the many games it published, including my beloved Traveller.

Friday Roundup

Dungeon Fantastic – Sat, 16 November, 02:02 AM

Just a few notes. - I've finished up the NPCs for Felltower, mostly due to a lot of help from Vic. Making the guys was easy; putting them on paper was fast. Getting them into GCS is harder for me, and Vic stepped up to deal with that. I'll just lightly modify them according to the Hidden Traits tab... read more.

Friday Encounter: The Clever Stag

Tales of the Lunar Lands – Fri, 15 November, 11:47 PM

In the Lunar Lands, all living things - and some non-living things - are sapient.

Something To Listen To

B/X BLACKRAZOR – Fri, 15 November, 03:51 PM

Running a Tolkien Game that Does Not Exist

Rise Up Comus – Fri, 15 November, 03:12 PM

It is a "starter RPG," designed to ease new ... read more.

The point of this is straightforward: your character’s lineage should be a cornerstone of deep roleplaying,... read more.

My experience with Ryuutama (Why you should try it!)

Gnome Stew – Fri, 15 November, 11:00 AM

All images were taken from the Ryuutama game Again I found myself in the situation of introducing someone to the TTRPG world. D&D keeps being the one everyone knows about, but it can be hard to grasp how to play a game with such depth. I looked into my TTRPG collection, looking to find something ne... read more.
