kjdavies March 1, 2012, 5:22 pm November 12, 2017 West Marches-Style Campaign

Brendan at Untimately posted a list of 20 Quick Questions about rules as applied in your campaign. I’ve put this off for weeks, but here are my answers for my next campaign. Keith’s Westmarch-Style Campaign Rules I’ve spoken before about wanting to run a Westmarches-style sandbox campaign. I was planning …

Well, falling behind a bit again, but here are this week’s links. I’m trying to straighten out my sleep schedule, so I can be properly rested (which leads to eating better and working out more and apparently way more patience with people). Getting up to seven hours of sleep a …

For those interested in petty details and statistics, I’m now aggregating over 500 RSS feeds. Of those, a handful aren’t RPG related but are related to my interests (a couple on cooking, a handful of art sites)… but it’s still more than 500 RPG sites. This amounts to about 150-200 …

Huzzah! A couple of days late, but I’m all caught up (up to 4:00 pm February 14, at least). Finally. No Kickstarter projects this week (next week; I just want to get this wrapped up). Added to the Hall of Fame this Week (Well, since I only started the Hall …

Introducing the Hall of Fame

I’ve gotten more serious in my blogging and have been posting my Links of the Week for about five months now, and I’ve noticed a few things. The same blogs show up repeatedly with a series of related articles (such as JB’s current Land of Ice series, or Niccodaemus’ series …

Longevity and Level Limits

kjdavies February 11, 2012, 7:46 pm February 19, 2012 Experimental

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, 5:32 am February 6, 2012 Link of Fame

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).
