A vote was held last week on what we wanted to play next quarter. The decision was that everyone wanted to play a new D&D-style campaign set in the same world as the old one. So, while it looks like we’re not going to be revisiting the adventures of our former party of characters, we […] Read more
It occurs to me that I haven’t posted anything on here in some time. Let’s remedy that with this picture and short discussion of the enigmatic figure known to the players of my D&D game as “Mr. Rich.” I put the name in quotation marks because it is likely that this is an alias of […] Read more
Despite the D&D game not happening currently, I still can’t resist drawing things for it… The Guild of Assessment is the police/investigative organization controlled by the Princeps of the Grey City. Initially intended to be an impartial investigator and judge in mercantile disputes and crimes, the Guild’s purview has expanded since the Grey City fell […] Read more
If the Rogue Trader campaign were a book, this would be the cover. Or at least the inside cover. I would have drawn something with the entire crew in it, but I don’t really know what most of them look like yet. Read more
Played Rogue Trader for the first time last night. It was Peter’s first time ever GMing anything, though frankly I couldn’t really tell during the game. His only problem was an obvious nervousness as to how far his notes would take us into the game. Seeing as we stopped playing at 2:30 AM, I’m thinking […] Read more
Games I played over winter break: Legend of the Five Rings: Dorf ran two sessions of this. We played as Jake Magistrates in the Empire of Rokugan, going around trying to suss out treason while still acting honorably in this pseudo-Japanese society. I had a helluva lot of fun playing a mildly-dishonorable Scorpion-clan asshole with […] Read more
Short version: A while ago there was this, which led to this, and now to this. Long version: The Secret Santicore PDF is finished, courtesy of the apparently-a-genius-at-organizing-spur-of-the-moment-projects Jez Gordon. It’s got forty-two entries on everything from new races to poisons to cults and post-apocalyptic stuff. There are over a hundred pages of […] Read more
The D&D game has gone on a temporary and undetermined length hiatus–half the group wants to keep playing immediately, the other half wants to wait until next quarter before resuming, I don’t know what’s going on so whatever. This means that the only gaming that I’m going to be getting for at least a couple […] Read more
So there’s this thing. Perfect excuse to write something interesting and get something interesting; Secret Santa, but with D&D material. The prompt I got: “I would like alternative randomly generated strongholds to encounter in wilderness hexcrawls (or for setting design). Like the ones in The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures, pages 15 an 16. This […] Read more
Peter (my roommate) is starting up a game of Rogue Trader, which will be played whenever we get a chance/aren’t playing D&D. It’s the first time he’s ever run a game; here’s hoping it’s a good one. We did character and ship creation the other night, which took far longer than I expected (I should […] Read more
