In light of the news, I’d like to share my thoughts on Charlie Kirk. I know this has nothing to do with roleplaying, but I suspect I’ll be sharing these thoughts elsewhere, so I figured it would be useful to have them in one place that I can link to. If public speech was…

Taking a break
I’m taking a break from buying RPG products for awhile. I’m sick and tired of having consumerism take over every hobby I enjoy. I feel like I can’t even ride my bike without Google telling me what underwear I need to buy. Sponsored advertising is everywhere. Dice towers are cool, but I’m fortunate enough to…
Vampire Music Box
The Vampire’s Music Box is an ornately decorated purple and black music box. Inside is a small golden figurine of a female elven dancer. It takes a full minute to wind the box up. When it’s opened, it produces a haunting, delicate melody that soothes nearby undead. This works as if using Turn Undead as…
Decipedes
Decipedes are intelligent, semi-humanoid creatures not quite like anything else, though perhaps most closely resembling centaurs. Aside from their black compound eyes and the small chittering mandibles discretely tucked within their cheeks, the parts that make up their anatomy are all clearly human. It is the distinct configuration that sets them apart: a decipede has…
Saintamaris
Also commonly referred to as Saintamaris the Pure, Saintamaris the Compassionate, and the Radiant Maiden. Saintamaris is the goddess of love, innocence, purity, and light. She appears as a beautiful woman, fair in complexion with fine snowy hair, at once both youthful and yet ancient beyond time. She wears a gown of the finest gossamer….
Current state of my megadungeon
This is an overview of the megadungeon I’ve been working on (and off) for a couple years, now. I’m hoping that by writing out a status report of some sort, I can gain some more focus on how I want to continue developing the dungeon. The dungeon currently has 225 rooms total, across ten…
A quick opinion on truffles
Chocolate truffles with peanut butter creme belong in high fantasy. Hell, while we’re at it, let’s allow corn dogs, too. Corn makes no less sense than barley. If we can have distinctly Earth-based life like wolves and hawks in worlds that are very clearly not Earth, then it shouldn’t matter where on Earth it came…
Elegy Halloween Game
It took awhile to get this done, but here is the writeup of the Halloween session of Elegy that I played. Truths These are the Truths I picked for this game. I wanted to try for something that emulated the setting of Vampire: the Masquerade. History: Vampires inhabit Santa Maria since its earliest…
Look
I have a number of drafts of posts, including the write-up for my Elegy game. I would like to work on writing, so I can finish a couple off and post them. Right now, though… I can’t. I just can’t. Everything is way too much to handle right now. I can’t focus on my hobbies…
Happy Halloween!
Today, I’ll be playing a solo game of Elegy, and hopefully handing out candy to some of the neighborhood kids. Elegy is a cool solo PbtA game based on the system from Ironsworn, but adapted for a urban horror vampire game, very much like Vampire: the Masquerade. The character I’m playing is Eric, a…
