One Year Gone

GROGNARDIA – Fri, 02 October, 04:00 AM

While yesterday marked the commemoration of the birth of one of the hobby's founders, today marks a rather different milestone: one year since the conclusion of my House of Worms campaign.

Optional Rules for RAM

To Be Resolved – Fri, 02 October, 01:57 AM

RAID Array Mischief is intentionally a lean and mean game. The goal is to get a table of people playing one of your poor, neglected adventure modules in as little time as possible, which is why there's no character generation and there's a single shared memory sheet. In my open table lunchtime game,... read more.

Simic NPC Tactics

The Monsters Know What They’re Doing – Thu, 01 October, 06:53 PM

The Simic Combine’s shtick is mad bio-science, and its rank-and-file NPCs are, curiously, not listed in the “NPCs by Guild” section of the Guildmasters’ Guide to Ravnica, chapter 6, but rather in the “Creatures by Guild” section. Still, Simic hybrids are humanoids by type, so they’re NPCs as far as ... read more.

A Dungeon God for October. The term "thief" is intended in a broader, non-classed sense.

A couple of months ago, I released a converter that would calculate Into the Oddish enemy stats for any Pokémon based on their game stats.
