Here’s what I’m thinking for the basic die roll for the dice pool system. The broad outline for how stats and such work is the same as for the most recent version of the Hero Die + Trope Die system, but with a dice pool set up. That way instead of fiddling with the difference…
I just posted an update to the Elvismancer Kickstarter. The plan was to include a writing sample, but the completely reasonable few paragraphs I originally meant to write combined with a throwaway line from an old Death Cookie article and became an 1800-word in-world article. Since that was way too long for a Kickstarter update,…
The Hex Ficton is the fictional setting where Hobomancer, M-Force, Weird Times at Charles Fort High, and numerous other games published by Hex Games take place. We often describe the Hex Ficton as a world that’s like our own, but vastly weirder. This list provides some insight into how weird it is. You can learn more at the Hex Ficton page.

That’s just wrong, so here are a few ideas to help get…
I know I said I’d get back to the Guardians of Shymeria campaign design walk-through this week, but I’m running a Qerth game using Cinemechanix at GenCon. I’d forgotten how long (compared to QAGS and Cinemechanix) it takes to create a Qerth character even when you’re not also converting them to another game system. So…
