Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / It is what my character would do.

« on: November 27, 2015, 02:59:24 AM »

Sooooo,

Caleb has managed to sum up why "It's what my character would do..." is stupid. He has done it really well several times.

I can't however remember in which episodes.

I am currently dealing with a fellow player who acts like a dick  at the table, and use his character as justification. It would be nice to share Caleb's explination with him.

So if any of you happen to know where I can find examples, that would be good.

Yes, yes it is.  This is also my favourate ever description of the scenario.
 
By the way, I totally owe Caleb for The Bosworth House.  I was emmulating what he did with "The  Red Tower". I don't think I ever would have gone the literary fan fiction scenario route without him having shown me how awesome it could be.

So, a while back, i wrote a scenario called The Bosworth House for the Arkham Gazette. An actual Play podcast called "On the remembered slopes" is running it at the moment and it is a lot of fun to listen to. While they lost the first part to technical difficulties you can find the second part  Here

Depends how old they are....

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

Hi guys,

For a while now I have been doing some old school Geomorphs as a hobby, relatively recently I set up a patreon, because the process of turning them into a thing for sharing took a lot of time and with a wedding coming up it became pretty important to be able to justify that time in terms other than I like doing this.  I hope you guys will check it out and consider backing it.

Here it is .https://www.patreon.com/the_geomorph_project?ty=h

Recruitment Board / The Enemy Within

« on: May 18, 2015, 12:31:34 PM »

Would there be any interest in a google hang outs game of the classic "The Enemy Within" campaign, running sundays  from 5pm GMT?

It would be run using second edition WFRP and be for players.

RPGs / My Geomorph affliction

« on: May 10, 2015, 06:02:42 AM »

So for a few months now, I have had a strange affliction. The need to draw lots of little maps. It is eating my life a little bit. I thought you guys might be interested in the results of this affliction. Below, are six of the geomorphs I have been working on this weekend for Daves Mapper this weekend.

Thanks. Not all of it is my work sadly, while the boarder and copy are mine, as is the poor arsed  layout, the art is stock art. For the final thing I need to replace that, because while I maybe can't do better, I can do something that will fit with my style and approach better.

So this is my first experiment with laying out the adventure. Thought you guys might enjoy seeing it. The copy is still far from finished and this was my first time using scribus, but still, a lot of fun.

Ross, for the unicorns I was thinking something alone the lines of equoid, because the premise is going to be that all fae creatures are the result of Shub-Niggurath, with the entire setting in a massive battle between chaos and law, where nature is chaos and law is THE CITY, and the city is ruled by the King in Yellow. Carcosa is going to be this gothic-punk heavy metal dystopia of heavy industry and smog and pipes and oil and crazy bureaucracy, and horror, while nature is going to be fecund and sensual and mutates and alien and totally gross.

Not that I wasn't tempted to have them be like sparkles!

So, you gits have done it again. between the van art episode and the Sailors on the Starless Sea, I am know hooked on DCC.

Below is the sketch for the map I am drawing for my first attempt at a DCC lvl-0 funnel. As it progresses(some might consider it NSFW, so be warned), I am going to post more of it here, along with any future one page DCC adventures I put together.  I'd love to hear what DCC stuff the community has been upto too.
