Even more than categories, posts in a series are related to a single recurring topic.
From a campaign about five years ago, playing Stephen Grodzicki’s Low Fantasy Gaming… Last night we were at Talomar Keep, returning the body of one of the Queen’s Rangers we’d found. Well, most of the body, the head was missing. We were offered a place to stay for the night, …
To my mind a good sandbox campaign doesn’t just plop the PCs down and tell them to find some way to entertain themselves. A good sandbox is seeded with points of interest to give the PCs something to start with. The PCs can find their own trouble after that, but …
The other day I stumbled on Midjourney, an AI generating images from descriptions. Out of curiosity, I decided to see what happens if I input one of the seeds from the other day. I picked the first one of the most recent ’12 seeds’ posts (Eldritch Fairy Tale): An iron …
Another 12 seeds using the Story Engine Deck. Tonight I’m combining the Fantasy expansion with the Eldritch Horror and Fairy Tale boosters. I had planned to use the Gothic booster with the Fairy Tale booster, but it turned out when I packed up the other night I put stored the …
Third up in my 12 Seeds series, after Horror and Fantasy, it’s time to break out Science Fiction-based Story Engine Cards. I’d initially thought to use the Sci-Fi expansion and the Cyberpunk and Dystopian boosters, looking at a Snow Crash or Shadowrun kind of vibe, but the Post-Apocalyptic or Military …

The few days ago I saw a request on MeWe for Good blogs for Adventure Seed ideas? I’m looking for one or two short sentence prompts to build on. The more grim, dark and seedy the better. Betrayals. Murders. Narcotics. Abductions. Etc. Jeremy Hart I figured that since I recently …
I’ve been on something of a hiatus for the last little while. I work in the social sector — the part of the provincial government that provides more or less direct support to vulnerable citizens — and the last couple years put unprecedented demand on us. It’s been tiring. In …
Ten posts complete… I think this is the shorted A-Z Blog Challenge failure I’ve had. I started to write ‘earliest’, but it took almost two weeks for me to admit it to myself. We’ve had some shakeups at work this month. These don’t actually directly add to my workload (in …
For many years I’ve wanted a system to formalize developing relationships with organizations or other entities. I don’t want to apply it to everything — the number of connections can become immense — but where a relationship becomes significant enough to track, I want a way to formalize it. Most …
