Random One-Shot: La Novia Princesa
The last few months on the blog I’ve been rambling about creative projects, but most of my actual project time has been spent on re-working a game system, which (at least late in the project) is more about structure and math than creativity. So this week I’m going to take a break and give the…
Wiki Articles Are Wizards Play-Thru Review
I backed Ben Meadows’ Wiki Articles Are Wizards [Citation Needed] during this year’s zine quest because I like wizards and I like game-like systems for generating RPG stuff (my article about using Tarot cards and IMDB to generate campaign history is probably around here somewhere). The PDF was delivered earlier this week, so I gave it…
RPGaDay2015 Part 4 (#18-21)
Today I’m going to answer 4 questions, which will bring me up to the question with a number that matches the current date. I’m then going to fall behind immediately by not posting on the weekend, but at least I’ll be completely on schedule for the meme for 24 hours. For 18-20, I’m going to…
The World of 1998

Monster of the Week: The Rock Demon
Also Known As: Stone Demon, Gargoyle Description: Rock demons are humanoid creatures made out of stone, but size and appearance varies considerably from one creature to the next, as does the specific type of stone they’re made from.

Tuesday Table: Mash-Up Madness
Since I’ve been knee-deep in hobos and haven’t gotten around to posting a table in the last few weeks, I’m going to post 3 today. Use these to come up with an idea for a one-shot. The first table gives you the genre, the second the plot, and the third the style of the game….

Review: Gamemasters: The Comic Book History of Roleplaying Games
Jon Peterson’s Playing to the World was one of those rare books, like Guns, Germs, and Steel or High and Mighty, that’s extremely engaging despite covering subject matter that seems like it should be boring as hell. While I’m not bothering with the multi-book “let’s see if they’ll buy it twice” reboot of Playing to…
