Tuesday Table: Fight Scene Events
Descriptive combat can be tough, and even the best GMs and players occasionally fall back on “I swing at it.” “You hit it.” If you’re having trouble keeping a fight scene interesting, roll and either introduce the new element, give a player a chance to take the action rolled, or have a bad guy…

“I think I should warn you all, when a vampire bites it, it’s never a pretty sight. No two blood suckers go out the same way. Some yell and scream, some go quietly, some explode, some implode. But, all will try and take you with them.”–Edgar Frog Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr Email

Tuesday Table: Unusual Medical Conditions
As anyone who remembers the old “Medical Bag” feature in Fortean Times knows, people suffer from a lot of strange and bizarre medical conditions. These can be used to crank up the quirkiness of an adventure GMC, or (for particularly brave players) even a PC. Except for conditions with obvious effects, I’ve provided very…
