• Swords for the Dragon Age PnP RPG

    This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series Dragon Age Magical Items

    The official Green Ronin’s GM guide to Dragon Age came with a few items; In preparing for my first game, I’ve decided to give the PCs some more items to play with, and have the idea of using existing items from the CRPG instead of coming up with my own. So today I would start with enchanted swords, and slowing move my way down. The list comes from the official Prima’s Strategy Guide, to give credits where it is due.

  • Qitai: Tales from Jiang Hu

    News, Other Systems, Role-Playing 30.05.2009 No Comments

    This has been something that I wanted to do for some time – a Wuxia conversion for Fate/SoTC. In many senses, a Wuxia game is pretty much like pulp ficition (I hope to explain why in a later article) and I think the Fate system is perfect for such a genre. I will begin writing the game one page per day and am starting a designer journal for it. Please feel free to share suggestions, gives comments and etc.

    One thing for now is that I think I would put the game out on as “donation-ware” with an optional “buy if you like it”. After all, this is just my first work :D

    First chapter coming up tonight!

    When Hogshead (and Guardians of Order later) went down, so did a couple of Nobilis resources (or maybe my google-fu is too weak to locate them). So I have uploaded here (and please do tell me if I should need to take them down) for the players of my upcoming games, as well as any others who may need it.

  • GameMastering is not just for master storytellers

    Role-Playing 12.04.2009 No Comments

    Over time I have asked people to GM games for me I got the response “But I am not a very good storyteller”. That’s a valid objection, but not a insurmontable one, as this article over at PopCultureOfDestruction.Com shows. Please read it and tell me if you are willing to GM a game for me please (I am always the group’s GM!)
