The Cat Burglar

Steve Johnson17 years ago3 years ago01 mins

Anyone can bust out a window and steal some stuff, but if you want to rob someone blind without drawing too much unwanted attention, you need a cat burglar. Cat burglars have the experience, skills, and (most importantly) style to get the goods and get away without arousing any suspicion. The really good ones have…

Review: Gamemasters: The Comic Book History of Roleplaying Games

Steve Johnson1 year ago1 year ago09 mins

Jon Peterson’s Playing to the World was one of those rare books, like Guns, Germs, and Steel or High and Mighty, that’s extremely engaging despite covering subject matter that seems like it should be boring as hell. While I’m not bothering with the multi-book “let’s see if they’ll buy it twice” reboot of Playing to…

Vrajites

Steve Johnson4 years ago3 years ago01 mins

The Vrajite article comes to just under 4000 words, which means I’ve officially passed the 10K goal for WorldEmber. I’ll probably still do a few more, but I don’t think I’ll shoot for 25K this time around. View at World Anvil Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr Email

REVERB GAMERS 2012, #11: Have you ever played a character that was morally gray, or actually evil? Why or why not? If yes, did you enjoy it? (Courtesy of Atlas Games. Visit them at www.atlas-games.com) Most characters in hack and slash games are genocidal sociopaths by modern standards (and sometimes even medieval/primitive standards), so back…

Christmas-Themed One-Shot Generator

Steve Johnson10 years ago3 years ago01 mins

Turns out I’m going to be working util 7 on Mondays, so I’ve tentatively moved new blog day to Wednesday. We’ll see how that works out and maybe change it again later. This week instead of a blog, I did a new random generator script, the Random Christmas One-Shot Adventure Generator. Give it a try!…

The Grizzled Veteran

Steve Johnson16 years ago3 years ago01 mins

  The grizzled veteran is somebody who’d been around, seen it all, and done most of it. Because few situations are all that new to him, the grizzled veteran tends to take things as they come, going about his work in a calm and in some cases methodical way. Although the grizzled veteran is very…

I didn’t set out to write 3000 words about a tax revolt that ended with a rain of fish, but that’s what happened. Read at world Anvil Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr Email
