Last one for this year, seventeenth time links post in this series (two meta-posts, one announcing the series, one looking for an RSS aggregator to make my life easier — I expect to have more on this in a week or two). I just realized and remembered, I’m hosting the …
Years ago, a friend online told me of the guidelines she was given in designing her character for a supers campaign. Have a way to get to the fight. Have a way to be useful in the fight. Have a way to survive the fight. It occurs to me that …
Thank you very much to Dennis Santana for bringing this to my attention. I’m adding a new feature (I hope) to KJD-IMC to help me with my weekly reading and round-up and I screwed up my permalinks. Once he clued me in that the primaries were broken, I fixed that and it …
A couple of months ago I posted some thoughts about hit points and healing . This is playable model, and the martial artists I discussed it with said that while it’s not exactly realistic, it has the shape of something believable.

I am looking for an RSS aggregation tool. I have found in the last few weeks that I read about 250-300 blog posts a week, which then get summarized into my ‘Links of the Week’ posts. This is a lot of reading, and I end up spending either way too …

Well, what else would be the past tense of “it must be mine!”? Called up the FLGS today to see if they would be able to get a copy of Tome of Adventure Design from Frog God Games, when it was available (since it’s still shown as pre-order at FGG). The conversation …
Another really big day of reading. I was on a course all week — as soon as I write and pass (though I’m not worried about failing) the exam I’ll be a Certified Penetration Test Engineer. Ethical (that is, legal) hacker. However, this left me with little time for keeping …
As best I can tell, tonight I have read 150 blog posts, plus some secondary ones either linked from the primary ones or to gather related articles. I didn’t count the secondary links precisely, but let’s use a low ball estimate can call it ten secondary posts. This means I …
In a recent conversation on google+, Jason Pitre asked how many non-player factions we thought should be present in an RPG campaign. There were several different suggestions that included small numbers (say, 4) and larger numbers (0-4 to start, then at least one per dungeon or adventure after that). My …
