Random One-Shot Game Generator

Steve Johnson11 years ago3 years ago02 mins

Sometimes, instead of a blog, you get a widget. This is one of those times. I made up a random generator script to generate one-shot (or if you’re really brave, campaign) ideas based on the tables in The Book of Dumb Tables 1 & 2. You can play with it on this ugly-ass page here….

The Soldier of Fortune

Steve Johnson17 years ago3 years ago01 mins

Most warriors fight for a higher cause: king, country, God, or honor. The soldier of fortune fights for a much more practical reason: to earn a living. In theory, the soldier of fortune is a mercenary whose only loyalty is to his own self-interest. In practice (at least in fiction), soldiers of fortune often discover…

Cinemechanix Design Journal: Defining Ambiguous Character Abilities

Steve Johnson10 years ago2 years ago01 mins

Before I get into the blog, the whore-like nature of my existence obligates me to mention that my newest ebook, 20 Movies You Probably Haven’t Seen Reviewed By Some Guy You Don’t Know is now available for just 99 cents at the Kindle store. My reviews of Dark Dungeons and the D&D movie may be…

The Skull of Kirlyok

Steve Johnson7 years ago3 years ago015 mins

Editor’s Note: This was originally posted to Patreon before I started the C10KD page. The current version can be found here. The game mechanics in the table are from an older version of Cinemechanix. No blog this week due to the holiday, but I do have a new chunk of the City of 10,000 Daggers…

The Road to QAGS 3E, Part 10

Steve Johnson1 year ago010 mins

Once SupaGenius was gone, we spent the rest of Origins comparing notes, but that didn’t really help us. We found out that Corporate Sugar Daddy had paid for the M-Force print run, but I don’t remember the excuse SuperGenius gave him for not using the money that was supposed to be in the bank account…

RPGaDay Part 9 (#28-29)

Steve Johnson11 years ago3 years ago02 mins

I’m going to do two questions today and then finish up the last two on Monday. 28. Favorite Game You No Longer Play I’m going to assume that “game” here refers to specific game worlds rather than systems or genres, since the main differences between Deadlands and the weird west games I run using QAGS…

The Real Danger of AI

Steve Johnson10 months ago10 months ago014 mins

Last month I wrote several articles about why I don’t think AI art is the threat some people make it out to be. Today I’m going to talk about the thing that I do think is scary as hell about AI. Oddly, this doesn’t seem to be something people are too concerned about. I’ve mostly…
