Getting ready for my next Mordheim campaign. I thought i'd quickly write about the game, for those unfamiliar. My undead warband is ready to play again! save.vs.totalpartykill.ca/blog/mordheim-…

What's this rumbling I hear about two mysterious adventures for OSE in the development pipeline? I wonder who the authors might be...

I agree with this ... but think we still need more examples and instruction on how to do location based adventures as well. This hobby seems to bleed knowledge and expertise at an alarming rate, with new designers making the same mistakes again and again.

I love it when a plan comes together

You don't have to like Mork Borg, you don't even have to like the layout, but you should read this anyway to learn a bit more about how and how intentionally it's layout was done.

I like to use a limited number of colors in my drawings. It turns out to be more atmospheric this way.

Having talked to Yochai about Cairn 2, it's worth a look for OSR grogs even - still a light ITO based game, but it now with post-OSR proceduralist inspiration and tools. I might even say it has some influence from 𝐍𝐞𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧's Errant.

13 sessions complete of DMing 𝕹𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙𝖜𝖎𝖈𝖐 𝕬𝖇𝖇𝖊𝖞! Below I blog about how random generation & PC action created an exciting emergent play moment and what I am going to do about it! Plus 🩸BLOOD CULTS!

A rather grimdark blog entry about both my current setting and how I handle ethics and morality in my games without using Alignment or a similar system. alldeadgenerations.blogspot.com/2024/06/crysta…

Some thoughts about measuring encumbrance in GP, which seems superficially like too much hassle, but also makes some sense seen in the light of XP. necropraxis.com/2024/06/21/xp-…

A friend pointed me towards this blog - about creating a Crystal Frontier sky tomb for this blogger's home game. It's pretty cool. fistfulofvalkyries.com/2024/06/redire…

To all the refs auto-asphyxiating: the lore police are in your head. You have all the freedom you choose to take. If your players are pedants of some IP, then lay the ground rules before you play.

Good stuff here - the case for Gygax messing up the simple functionality of OD&D with his mucking about. It's an argument that I agree with, and it's nice to find a real old (2003!) RPG blog that is new to me! talesoftheramblingbumblers.com/2024/08/04/the…

My current campaign of playtesting and "just in time" keying continues. alldeadgenerations.blogspot.com/2024/08/mont-s…

So I hear Wizards will be returning to the Keep on the Borderlands. I can't say I'm excited for this, it feels a poor choice for the contemporary style of D&D. Any of the nuance or complexity in the original drowned in a sea of "humanoid" blood. Sigh.
