Number of View: 309This is something I’ve heard discussed by Chatty in the past, and I’m sure a few other RPG Bloggers have done it as well: Mini-Campaigns. I was thinking about the long, drawn out DnD campaigns that have been run by my group over the last couple of years: Points of Light, Forgotten [...]
Number of View: 2258Staying on my Savage Worlds kick I’m on at the moment, I was thinking about an awesome Jurassic Park RPG. As some may know, they’re working on a new Jurassic Park comic, and that’s what got me thinking. You would open the mini-campaign by encouraging the players to make a a character [...]
Number of View: 302 Knowing I’ll be moving soon has gotten me thinking of new D&D campaigns. In my next campaign, do I want to use previously created settings, such as Eberron, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance and Midnight, or do I want to make up my own campaign world, giving it the full breadth of originality [...]
Number of View: 207I’ve been re-watching season one of Rome while out to sea. It’s a phenomenal show (not for kids) depicting life in ancient Rome, following the stories of Gaius Julius Caesar, Marc Antony, many other notable historical figures, as well as the lives of a centurion and legionnaire. By the end of season [...]
Number of View: 263So, it’s been almost a year now since I wrote the last “Using Sons to Inspire an Adventure” post, covering Eli the Barrow Boy by the Decemberists. There’s another Decemberists song I used in a campaign more than a year back, when we decided to play Forgotten Realms. One of the players [...]
Number of View: 396I just finished reading the Percy Jackson series, by Rick Riordan. I didn’t even know these books existed until I saw a preview for the first movie. I greatly enjoy “children’s” series; especially fantasy/magically based ones. Therefore, I decided to give Percy Jackson a shot. At first glance it feels like you’re [...]
Number of View: 283A few weeks back, I had (once again) attempted to start up a play-by-email campaign with some guys I know. I had just read through Underdark, and was really looking forward to running a game in the setting. Trying to get them motivated, I presented them with this introductory email post. – Beneath [...]
Number of View: 303A while back I spoke about injecting RP to your war games, and now the idea comes full circle. What about combining RPGs with war games? How would that work out? Considering RPGs sprung from war games, so it’s a natural progression. Imagine a campaign where war had begun to spread across the [...]
Number of View: 525Last week, the wife and I went to Central 111, a local club, for my friend’s 30th birthday. Now, mind you, it’s my first time in a club. I’ve been to bars (quite a few in Manhattan), but never a club. It was an experience, let me tell you. But, as always, [...]
Number of View: 523Warning: This post features an adult, using adult language. You have been warned. How should language be handled in fantasy and sci-fi? Naturally, most people have heard the traditional swear-replacements in sci-fi, from “Frak” (Battlestar Galactica) to “Frell” (Farscape), from “Gorram” (Firefly) to “I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my [...]
