From D&D, there’s the Skill Challenge system, as well as Rituals and Martial Practices. From Warhammer, there’s the Progress tracks, Stance Meters, and Party Sheet, among [...]

Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows.

Number of Views :684I’ve been blabbering on and on about Mini-Campaigns and their benefits. I know, I know. “Move on!” you say, “we get it.” But I thought I’d share some mini-campaigns I’m looking forward to running in the future. 1. Mouse Guard: Naturally.
