As I mentioned in my last roundup, I didn’t see nearly the traffic for this RPG Blog Carnival: Fantastic Creations that I did for Fantastic Locations. This surprises me a little, since I would think it would be one of the easier ones to post for — if nothing else, …
I haven’t seen nearly the traffic for this RPG Blog Carnival: Fantastic Creations that I did for Fantastic Locations, so I’ve decided to do a mid-month roundup rather than weekly. Round-Up As with the Fantastic Locations roundups, presented in order of blog title and (approximately) date. Exchange of Realities Simple …
I posted a few new magic items last week a couple weeks ago (I’ve been too busy to take part in the RPG Blog Carnival I’m hosting, how sad is that?), and got some favorable response to them. I thought people may be interested in how I devised them. The …

I almost forgot! I’ll be hosting the RPG Blog Carnival again, starting a week from now. The topic will be ‘Fantastic Creations’. Magic items, cyborgs, golems, sonic screwdrivers, how to make any of the above, what to do with them, and so on. I think it’ll be fun, and joining …
