RPG session cancelled for tonight, so those of us available ended up playing Plunderlust, a card game set in the Vast Grimm RPG’s setting. We were a bit iffy on the rules, but we got through a game, and it was interesting. I’d like to try the Vast Grimm RPG as well… […]

The Halls of Arden Vul (OSRIC) Session 21:

Last session was mostly social, but tonight’s was dungeon bashing. We investigated some catacombs, but because we each had a Feather of Maat we were unmolested by the undead.

But after climbing a staircase we were immediately set upon by the savage […]

The Halls of Arden Vul (OSRIC) Session 20:

After donating a bunch of silver and copper treasure (that we couldn’t have easily retrieved anyway) to the goblin kingdom, we were introduced to their version of high society. Met some important-seeming folks, both goblins and emissaries from […]

I’ve mentioned before that I like including helpful undead in my Mörk Borg games as a sort of curve ball tossed at the players.

But I also like making them the most *cheerful* NPCs the player’s meet. That just feels right to me. The worst has already happened, they’re dead. They’re now outside […]

I've often joked that ongoing tabletop campaigns are actually schedule-based puzzle games with a bit of roleplaying from time to time.

[Dungeon of the Mad Mage Spoiler Alert]

Session 14 of this year; a six hour marathon.

We continued to explore the shrunken castle, until its wizard master suddenly returned home. It seems the homunculus was fibbing about the wizard being a prisoner of the faerie dragon.

He was a gracious host […]

I’m tempted by the new version of Apocalypse World, but ambivalent.

The most successful RPG campaign I’ve EVER run was with AW 2e. I suspect that was a one-time lightning in a bottle situation and that any attempt to run it again is doomed to be a disappointment […]

I’ve seen it across many RPG campaigns across the years, but I think all players want a home base for their characters. Players get really into upgrading and improving it, myself included.

In Arden Vul we’ve conquered a section of the dungeon and are about to get some sort of housing in the […]

The Halls of Arden Vul (OSRIC) Session 19:

After solving a statue puzzle and revealing a hidden chamber last session, we found a massive amount of ancient coins. This session was spent getting those coins back to “civilization.”

After two trips, the goblin kingdom got curious about the source […]

We solved a significant puzzle involving posing statues and found more treasure […]

Dungeon of the Mad Mage session 13 this year.

Last session we entered a miniature castle, shrinking as we approached. We encountered a giant (to us in our shrunken state) homunculus who wants us to free his wizard master from a faerie dragon (normally small, but doubtless huge here).

The Evolved Edition of the Alien RPG looks cool. I’ve played and enjoyed the previous edition. But despite owning quite a bit for it, I haven’t yet run it myself, which is why I’m not rushing out to get the new version.

The Halls of Arden Vul (OSRIC) Session 17:

Having established friendly “diplomatic relations” with the pyramid’s goblin kingdom, we spent the session poking around their territory. We spent an exorbitant amount of gold on magical curiosities in the goblin market, most of it of dubious utility […]

My latest Bandcamp acquisition. I own a mountain of dungeon synth, much of it only listened to once (sometimes never! I buy in bulk), but this Quest Master album is so good I had to own it.

Someone is Kickstarting a fully illustrated omnibus edition of Clark Ashton Smith's Zothique tales, as well as TTRPG books (for 5e, DCC, and Shadowdark) based on the same stories. It looks like you can mix and match fiction and games.
