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.

#RPGADAY2016 All At Once

Steve Johnson9 years ago2 years ago01 mins

I’m going to do all of this year’s #RPGADAY questions real-quick like. 1) Real dice, dice app, diceless, how do you prefer to “roll”? Don’t care. If I’m sitting around a table, I’ll usually go with real dice. If rolling dice is a pain in the ass, I’m fine with an app. Facebook Twitter Reddit…

Steve Johnson9 years ago3 years ago01 mins

It’s been a while since I did a dumb table, so that’s what I’m going to do this week. Swiping characters from history and folklore is a common trope in RPGs (I’m pretty sure that Rasputin was a vampire, a werewolf, AND a mage in the original World of Darkness), partly because it can save…

One Shot: Argonauts in SPAAAAAAACE!

Steve Johnson9 years ago3 years ago01 mins

Things are slow on the Cinemechanix front this week. so let’s do one of those blogs where I sketch out a one-shot adventure using my handy One Shot Generator Script (adapted from some of the tables in The Book of Dumb Tables and its sequel). As always, I have two options, since each Book of…
