Feodor's Character/Flavour Cheat Sheet

#Roleplaying

A couple people have expressed interest in the "cheat sheet" document I had with me when playing Feodor, the original character. Rather than putting together an in-depth character origin story, I opted for an outline of notes I could refer to wh

Why I Like The Burning Wheel Roleplaying System

#Roleplaying

Two friends and I started a dwarf-centric table-top roleplaying game a year and a half ago. We are nearing our 40th bi-weekly session and all three of us are still excited about the game, so I guess we're doing something right. But this success is al

More Alexeyevich Documents Uncovered

#Roleplaying

Several weeks later, I am still playing in and enjoying the WW2-based roleplaying game. Our characters are deep in occupied France, ahead of Patton and Montgomery's lines, clandestinely chasing down our targets through Paris and, inevitably, Germany

Trying Out The D&D Next Playtest

#Roleplaying

Two Dwarves And Two Games

#Roleplaying

Another two games of Clans And Codex under our belts, and I'm happy to report all three of us are still having a fantastic time. The two sessions dovetail together nicely, so I've combined the summaries into a single blog post.

More Jungle Pulp Adventure Worldbuilding

#Roleplaying

We met at a downtown coffee shop, and my two players each had a character sheet they had each put together over the break. In the last session, we had laid down some broad strokes in our game world. Now it was time to start getting to specifics.

Dwarves And Dice Versus Politics And Prejudices

#Roleplaying

This session was particularly interesting because the players' goal in it wasn't to defeat a monster or to retrieve a treasure or to accomplish anything so heroic. They simply had to convince some politicians, bureaucrats, officials, and lords t

Pulp Jungle Adventure

#Roleplaying

Getting together with a couple friends at a coffee shop, we collaboratively make a Dungeons And Dragons setting right straight out of the madcap imaginations of Doyle, Burroughs, Haggard, and Conrad.
