Traveller…the skill based OD&D. August 18, 2010. August 18, 2010. James Maliszewski started an interesting conversation. On his blog about the literary influences of. What struck me is how a fair number of people thought that the game’s overall setting has not aged well. To me, these conversations are fascinating as I’ve never treated the core rules — the first three LBB — as being in any way concrete. In fact, I see the basic ruleset as being synonymous with. With Mongoose’s relaunch of. What people rea...

August 23, 2010. August 23, 2010. I’ve been a long time opponent of the accountant-heavy trader campaigns that present themselves as the default story arc for classic. It is possible to pull together a game that centers on transporting cargo but it takes a great deal of work and ingenuity on the part of the GM. With that in mind, it would be hard to find a better example of pulling this off than Joss Whedon’s. Over the last year, a diehard core of. Follows this pattern it will be worth watching for ideas.

https://805pm.wordpress.com/about
I began playing RPGs (pen and paper) with the basic D&D boxed set back in the late 1970’s. As a teenager, the games seemed like an excellent way for a young, wanna-be writer to exercise some creativity and hone the art of plot and world building. It turned out that I rather enjoyed the interaction between player and GM which ultimately inspired my ongoing interest. If you’d like to reach me:.

How a butler sold me on LOTFP. August 16, 2010. August 16, 2010. I downloaded the free version of Lamentations of the Flame Princess to see if I wanted to dive into another clone. After glancing through the Rule Book, I stumbled across a chart of retainers. It contained the usual suspects — mercenary, craftsman, alchemist, scholar — but then I noticed the game’s true glory. Butler A… Continue reading How a butler sold me on LOTFP. August 13, 2010. August 16, 2010. August 12, 2010. August 6, 2010. You can...

https://805pm.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/671
January 9, 2012. January 9, 2012. The New York Times published an article. This morning about the much talked about 5e for AD&D.

February 7, 2011. February 7, 2011. I’ve commented a number of times previously that I enjoy the idea of gaming in the. Universe but ultimately pass it up for its cumbersome tropes. The idea that “adventures” are constructed around the crew of a starship is awkward at best and often impossible. The same problem arises in almost any space-faring Sci Fi setting which I imagine is one of the reasons that Fantasy frequently wins out as the genre of choice. Yet, whenever I come across a.
