Tuesday Table: Monster Death Scenes

Steve Johnson13 years ago3 years ago01 mins

  “I think I should warn you all, when a vampire bites it, it’s never a pretty sight. No two blood suckers go out the same way. Some yell and scream, some go quietly, some explode, some implode. But, all will try and take you with them.”–Edgar Frog Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr Email

Cinemechanix Design Journal: Guardians of Aetheria PCs

Steve Johnson9 years ago3 years ago01 mins

With the new rules changes, I had to change a few things around with character creation, so while I was at it I rearranged, renamed, and simplified character creation. Since I also had to rewrite the Sample of Play Theater entry for character creation, I went ahead and upgraded the characters for the Guardians of…

Soulfaring

Steve Johnson5 years ago3 years ago01 mins

I just posted an article on soulfaring to the City of Ten Thousand Daggers site. This is mostly a slightly revised version of the soulfaring section of Tales from the Lusty Minotaur without the rules, but there are a few new details. The patron-only “Secrets” section (click the button at the bottom of the page…

Core Mechanic

Steve Johnson4 years ago3 years ago02 mins

Here’s what I’m thinking for the basic die roll for the dice pool system. The broad outline for how stats and such work is the same as for the most recent version of the Hero Die + Trope Die system, but with a dice pool set up. That way instead of fiddling with the difference…

Archetype of the Week: The Rookie

Steve Johnson16 years ago3 years ago01 mins

  The rookie is the new kid on the block who doesn’t have a lot of experience. Unlike the hot shot, he also doesn’t have an amazing knack for his line of work. He’s just a regular guy starting his career. As a newbie, most rookies are subjected to all sorts of condescension, practical jokes,…

Game Chef 2015

Steve Johnson10 years ago2 years ago06 mins

I’m still recovering from OMGCon, which keeps getting better every year, and getting ready for DieCon, so this week’s blog is another quick one. I’ve been wanting to submit something to Game Chef for a while, but always end up missing it. This year’s event kicked off on June 12th, the day I left for…

Campaign Design Walk-Through 1: Premise

Steve Johnson8 years ago2 years ago02 mins

Since the whole idea behind Cinemechanix is that you use the core rules to create the kind of game you want to play, it seems like it might be a good idea to go through a sample campaign design. I keep going back and forth on whether I want to continue the Sample of Play…
