Medieval Weapons So, I've mentioned Sceletus a few times. It's not doing too badly, but not surprosingly, interest has dropped off now that Erin and I are ch...

Symbol of three eyes on a triangle, backed by a stylised black stardust. It is the symbol of the Salubri Antitribu from the game Vampire: the Masqurade.

Not wearing my heart on my sleeve, but did get my allegiance permanently marked on my flesh...

I love the Kiasyd... one of my favourite bloodlines in V20 (I dread to think what they might have done to them in the latest edition of the game).

She's come up well... great job.

Thought for the day:

"Hmm, that's weird" is never good thing to hear when you've got sensors attached while lying on the table in the doctor's medical rooms.

Open Source TTRPG Resources I love a good list of resource links, and this list from ThoughtPunks certainly fits that criteria. Open Source TTRPG Resources  (I'd recom...

I've been there a few times. I hope it all works out for you.

School holidays are great.... they let me recharge my emotional and creative batteries by completing projects with friends that are long overdue. This one should have been completed months ago.

Perfect is the enemy of good Ever since I was first introduced to the concept of perfect being the enemy of good. I've been a fan of it. That doesn't mea that I've been ...

Indie game designers (like myself) have been saying this for decades... but the publicity of things like "Critical Role" hasn't helped the cause.

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

How to Run a Game I started running games in the late 1980s. Does that make me an expert? Maybe. I've met a lot of Dungeon Masters, Game Masters, Storytellers...

I enjoyed writing this series on how to run TTRPGs, and in the two years since then I've seen so many people ask the same questions I answered in this sequence.
