Longevity and Level Limits

kjdavies February 11, 2012 February 19, 2012 Experimental itemprop="discussionURL"One Comment

If the rules endow demi-humans with extremely long life-spans without level limits it seems logical that powerful, high-level demi-human NPCs would come to dominate the game world. I am not entirely certain this is true. I mean, I know this is not true in my campaign because I said so… …

Well, looks like I’m gaining — I’m only a week behind now. It’s getting quicker, though. Technology Google to launch pilot program for Android-based HUD glasses… I honestly don’t have much to add to this. I want to see how they work and how well they do their job, and …

Link of Fame: How to write a free RPG

kjdavies February 7, 2012 February 6, 2012 Link of Fame itemprop="discussionURL"2 Comments

Rob Lang of the Free RPG Blog has presented a guide on how to write a free RPG, and since it looks like he’s now done (which is his cue to add an Epilogue, just watch) I thought I’d present a list of links to each section of the guide.

All in all I like how it’s presented. I’ve copied the entire thing to a Word file (so I can convert it to an EPUB and load it onto my ebook reader and read it during my commute, when I have more time to absorb the material).

I cannot explain how awesome I find this. Until the end of the month, DAZ is offering three of their 3d modeling packages (DAZ Studio 4 Pro, Bryce 7, and Hexagon 2.5) for free download. FREE 3D Software Suite DAZ Studio 4 Pro Bryce 7 Pro Hexagon 2.5

Simplifying Armor Class

I thought I would expand on an almost incidental idea in Falling off the RNG. I think D&D 3.x has too many armor class values. I believe this is mostly to model certain types of play and to encourage player characters (and other monsters) to act in specific ways. I …

Okay, so this one went up earlier than expected, I forgot how far ahead I’d set it. Ah well, I should have time to catch up this weekend. The RPG Blog Festival: Fantastic Locations wrapped up this week. Over forty submissions from twenty sites, a pretty good turnout overall. It …

Sandbox Resource Site

kjdavies February 2, 2012 February 1, 2012 What If? itemprop="discussionURL"One Comment

I floated an idea yesterday at google+, and figured I’d see if there’s broader appeal. I am considering (because I don’t seem to have enough things to do) starting a sandbox resource site, ideally with shared input. I’d likely create and manage the site but want submissions from other people …

Fantastic Location: Rime Tower, Part 3 — Implementation

kjdavies January 31, 2012 February 24, 2012 2012-01 Fantastic Locations / Campaign Setting Design / Entity / Gazetteer itemprop="discussionURL"4 Comments

Finally, I am in a position to describe Rime Tower in (hopefully succinct) detail. I started more than two weeks ago looking for Inspiration, applied some Perspiration, and now move to Implementation. Potential (because I’m not describing them now) other entities are highlighted in bold. Text in <angle brackets> indicates …

Fantastic Location: Rime Tower, Part 2 — Perspiration

kjdavies January 30, 2012 January 31, 2012 2012-01 Fantastic Locations / Campaign Setting Design / Gazetteer itemprop="discussionURL"One Comment

A couple of days ago I came up with the idea of Rime Tower. I started basically from a blank sheet of paper, some dice, and a small (mmm… about six-inch) stack of RPG books and went looking for ideas. I ended up with a rough idea of what I …

Links of the Week Delayed Again

… but this time it should be less than last time. I’ve got things tuned so I can cover more ground when I’m reading. I should have a post in the hopper in the next couple of days, no labs to do this week.
