Another year, another retrospect post. It's been a pretty rough year for me (as for many others). Not because of RPGs obviously. Mostly schoolwork has been very heavy, especially since I never really got to rest up for real since last year. Being ground down is not a pleasant experience. But well, I'm trying to … Continue reading The End of 2018
So, one player got themself vampire-d. I had to write this up so they would know what that entailed. Yay? Might be updated when I realize something was unreasonable. Edit: now also with drawing of creepy vampire
So this little questionaire seemed interesting, let's have a go. A little late but, oh well, it's exam period. 1. One article or blog entry that exemplifies the best of the Old School Renaissance for me: This thing, you know, the GLOG. Okay, it's not that this is a revolutionary blog post in itself, it's just … Continue reading Zak’s Questions of Perplexion
I'll dump this here so I don't forget it again. It's about the handling of flesh-and-blood injuries in RPG's, not the plot armor that is HP. When you get wounded, you'll save three times: Once upon being injured, to see if you die of shock. Once upon the end of the fight, to see if … Continue reading An Old Idea on Wounds
I will now try to reconstruct this several months old post from only the header. Yay! Basically, it's about hybrid people (you know half-elves, orc-gnomes, giant-dwarves, etc.). Because weird stuff tends to happen when you mix two different races. You roll once, at the first crossing of the species, based on how similar the two … Continue reading Hybrid Babies
One day I had an idea: what if the optimal vampire can suck your blood straight out of your capillaries through your skin. What if you don't even notice. A bunch of nice people, making casual skin contact and just nibbling on your blood reserves. Just a bit from each person, adding up to enough … Continue reading Osmosis Vampire
Apparently, I just made 200 posts. What a mistake, as that makes this 200-posts post the 201st post. Ah well. I assume this warrants some kind of 1d200 table? I'm not too big on tables, so probably not. At least I'm ahead of 100 posts per year, which is... good I guess?
When I was about to go to sleep last night I had a strange, and possibly pointless, idea for how one could play out magic memorization on the table... It went like this: if the player can correctly tell the GM all relevant attributes of the spell (target, range, damage, components) etc. the spell is … Continue reading A Weird Idea for Magic-User Players
The moment a soldier becomes a fighter, is when battle goes from being a job to being a calling. It's when they realise that surrender is worse than death. It's when they bite back the pain, and stand up in the pool of their own blood. It's when they charge the enemy line alone, somehow … Continue reading The Moment a Soldier Becomes a Fighter
Happy new year! It's time to fail with writing the correct year on stuff for several months! And also, here's one of those retrospect posts or whatever. RPGs I did release a thing! A dungeon. I finished a campaign, and have run a couple of sessions in a new one. People are as bad at … Continue reading The End of 2017
