Songs You Can Turn Into An Adventure
Here are some songs that suggest interesting adventure ideas. Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr Email
Tuesday Table: What Are You Doing Right Now?
A lot of times, I’ll start off a game by asking the players to describe what their characters are doing. While this always works out well with the Hex group (with the intro scenes often becoming the focus of the adventure), I’ve found that groups who are used to more typical mission-based role-playing don’t…
The Psychic
The psychic is a character who has paranormal abilities of some sort. Some psychics gain their abilities through mystical training or encounters with supernatural entities. Most, however, are simply born with their unusual abilities. Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr Email
Submitting Your Game To A Publisher
Since people seemed to like last week’s blog about writing adventures for publication (and since I’m still trying to figure out the best way to approach the more in-depth discussion of Cinemechanix), I’m going to follow up with a blog about actually submitting the game.

Monster of the Week: The Snallygaster

REVERB GAMERS 2012, #13: Who’s the best GM/storyteller/party leader you’ve ever had? What made him/her so great? (Courtesy of Atlas Games. Visit us at www.atlas-games.com) I think every member of the Hex Games con crew could hold their own against any GM out there, but if I had to pick just one I’d vote for…
Cinemechanix Design Journal: Game Book Organization
I was hoping to use my 4-day weekend to finish and post the (hopefully) long-awaited next draft of the Cinemechanix rules to the playtest group, but unfortunately that didn’t happen. Partly it was because I ended up having to work Saturday, but since I knew that ahead of time I probably should have gotten right…
