I haven’t had time to crack the previews I’ve received of the Adventurer Conqueror King Player’s Companion, but conversation with the Adventurer Conqueror King or Die! group I play with on Saturdays suggests this idea isn’t there. Right now all PCs get a general proficiency at first level, fifth level, …
Hey Pop, Last I told you, we were back in the village. Well, we went back to the catacomb place and searched around some more. Found a room with some crystal statues, and you were right again — mess with things like that, they’ll come alive and try to kill …
I was examining the equipment list for a post-apocalyptic RPG. I can easily see the value in having a Geiger Counter in such a setting. In Call of Cthulhu? I think I want an HR Giger Counter.
Charles Jaimet and I were talking last night about Apocalypse World and its resolution system. I had a quick thought about it, and how it seems not quite complete to me. Short form, as I understand it: 2d6+modifiers. 10..12 success (“you do it”), 7..9 partial success (“you do it, but…”) …

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, …
Some more links this week. A few (big!) Hall of Fame entries, a longer list than usual of videos (mostly science — Feynman! — or science fiction), some blog posts (still losing ground there) and a Kickstarter project. Hall of Fame Fantastic Maps (Jonathan Roberts) Jonathan Roberts has a site, …
This started off as an entry in my Links of the Week for May 28, but I got caught up in what I was talking about. After about 600 words I decided to pump it up to its own post. Jim over at Carjacked Seraphim got fired up by my …
