Worldbuilding Summer Camp at World Anvil

Steve Johnson5 years ago2 years ago04 mins

World Anvil’s World Building Summer Camp event ends next week. Since I didn’t start it until a couple weeks into July, I knew I wouldn’t have time to write entries for all the prompts, but I thought maybe I would be able to do 10 (which would get me a badge for my WA profile)….

Tolva’s Veil

Steve Johnson5 years ago3 years ago02 mins

So I included some throwaway (and mostly completely made-up-on-the-spot) references to the City of 10,000 Daggers (mostly its history) in the Dumb Tables at the end of Tales from the Lusty Minotaur, some of which I do plan to write up details about at some point.  Conveniently enough, World Anvil is doing writing prompts every…

So Close… (Khezvaros Map)

Steve Johnson6 years ago3 years ago03 mins

I’m getting very close to finishing the City of 10,000 Daggers map. Since the last post, I’ve added some green and trees, changed the contour lines into terrain effects with some creative beveling, cleaned up the brush-painted buildings, and added effects to the named buildings. I’m tempted to add effects to the noble villas in…

Khezvaros Updates

Steve Johnson6 years ago2 years ago03 mins

Here’s the new map, now with buildings, docks, a moat around Castle Vargo, and a few other additions and modifications. The next step will be to clean up the brushed-in buildings a bit and probably rework or modify a few sections here and there. Then I’ll start putting in some green space and other visual…

Dumb Table: Random Mash-Ups

Steve Johnson6 years ago3 years ago02 mins

It’s Dumb Table kind of week, so here’s a (not-quite) double sized table of random mash-up game ideas. Just roll 2d20-1 for a random game to run. Smokey and the Time Bandits Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Towers The Serpent and the Rainbow Connection The People Under the Stairs Vs. Larry Flynt Hudson Hawk the…

Cinemechanix Playtest Report

Steve Johnson6 years ago3 years ago013 mins

We kicked off con season a couple of weeks ago and got to try out the latest version of Cinemechanix with real live con people for the first time. At DieCon, Leighton ran a sword and planet style game and Hobomancer using Cinemechanix, while I ran a game set in the City of 10,000 Daggers…

Dumb Tables: The Absurd Plot Generator

Steve Johnson7 years ago3 years ago01 mins

It’s a Dumb Table kind of week. I might convert this to a script at some point, but for the time being I’m going to do it the old-fashioned way. Just follow along and roll on each table to generate your plot. Figuring out what the elements mean is your problem. Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr…

Dumb Tables: B.A.D.A.S.S.

Steve Johnson7 years ago3 years ago01 mins

In every con game, there’s at least one guy who wants to play the badass action hero who spouts one-liners and plays by his own rules. Sometimes there’s more than one. At some point, we were talking about this and decided we should run a game where everyone was the badass action hero who spouts…
