- A little more progress... May 24, 2019Oh man! I've been quiet on here since I've been working on Brazen Backgrounds, a detailed character-background generator written specifically for Bronze Age campaigns (but also useful for most sword-and-sorcery settings). I finally just finished the pre-layout draft, and the thing is 30 pages.Next up - adventures in layout...I'm hoping to have this thing available […]Gundobad
- Encounters: overload your encounter dice May 24, 2019If the standard encounter occurs on a roll of 1 on a d6 by rolling every two turns, you might as well roll a d12 every turn (the encounter still happens on a roll of 1). I don't recall where I've read this first, but of course it's not my idea.Rolling a d12 allows you […]Davide Pignedoli
- Retail Déjà Vu May 24, 2019This is going to look familiar to those of you over 30. You may remember when D&D was sold in Sears stores. I actually never got any of my stuff from Sears, but I did buy the Sear's exclusive poster from Larry Elmore last year at GenCon. If you needed any further proof that D&D […]trollsmyth
- On a Trip Though Hell May 24, 2019I said every day this week, but let's pretend like Thursday didn't happen. I wasn't expecting my daughter's kindergarten graduation to be so. . . disruptive to my schedule.She sang a song and it was just great.Oh!

- These Wood-Elfs Are... (d100 Table) May 24, 2019Here’s another quick d100 table. This one may prove useful if and when the party trespasses into decidedly Sylvan territory. As you will see, I prefer to paint my Elfs with the “weird and unsettling” brush, but you could easily re-skin these as Faerie Folk or something similar if your setting gravitates toward a more […]ktrey
- Ennui of not getting enough gaming. May 24, 2019Sweet surreal nonsense like this is almost good enough to want to stop sitting on my ass doing nothing and get back to doing stuff.https://wasitlikely.blogspot.com/2019/05/the-blade-is-binding-magic-violence-and.htmlThis is fascinating idea. Is it gameable as is? Hell no. Not without serious thought put into it. There are few games like Whitehack or Mage that might pull this off […]Arturs
- Caverna do Dragão / Cave of the Dragon May 24, 2019Like many gamers my age I have had a "complicated" relationship with the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon of the 80s. At the time I thought it was stupid. But as I got older I came to appreciate it for what it really was. My kids LOVED it, especially my youngest son. I bought the boxed […]Timothy S. Brannan
