Cinemechanix Design Journal: Areas Where QAGS Needs Improvement
You’ve probably already figured out that I took a break from blogging last week because of the holidays. I was tempted to use the same excuse this week, but decided to start the new year off on the right foot and finally get around to the Cinemechanix posts I hinted at a few months ago…
Random Dungeon Name Generator
Like Qerth, most fantasy game worlds are full of dungeons, crypts, tombs, caves, mines, and other big holes full of monsters and treasure.

D&D 5E Review Part 15: Spells (Actually a GenCon Report)

Almost two years ago, I sent Juan (who’s done art for Qerth, Fort High, Tales from the Lusty Minotaur, and other Hex products) a pitch for a troll illustration to use on the City of Ten Thousand Daggers page. We both got distracted by other stuff and kind of forgot about it until I was…
