Living 4 Crits: The Next Great Campaign
http://ilive4crits.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-next-great-campaign.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. The Next Great Campaign. One of my favorite things to do as a game master is plan out the “next great campaign.” My fellow game masters know exactly what I’m talking about: that mythical future gathering that will fulfill all of your gaming fantasies and more! Most players want stability, and to watch their characters grow and evolve over time. Ended in legendary fashion, and one of the players recently moved which puts the future a little up in the air. Regular readers of my blo...

Living 4 Crits: $15 Shopping Spree!
http://ilive4crits.blogspot.com/2015/08/15-shopping-spree.html
Sunday, August 9, 2015. Rolling in Mad Stacks of Store Credit. Yesterday morning I woke up to the sickening realization that something terribly, terribly wrong was happening to my DriveThruRPG account. When I logged on, if I selected my "Account" I could see an "Account Credit" surpassing $15. I blinked, but it was still there, calling to me:. Spend me. spend me, James. I'm all alone here." the voice of DriveThruRPG whispered. Note: the voice of DriveThruRPG is none other than Dame Judi Dench]. This blog...

GM's Note: For the full experience of reading this blogpost, open another window/tab, go to YouTube, and start listening to the full original soundtrack for The Banner Saga. It'll add to the experience… promise! A Rune Carved Summer. On the History Channel. And I'm so glad they did since this show is awesome! This is what television was made for: epic battles, fierce winds on the high seas, dark and gritty religious rites.

Strange Encounters: January 2015

Tuesday, January 27, 2015. An Alignment System for the Cypher System? In my early experiences with RPGs (mostly ADnD), alignment was a central part of the character creation. Getting parties together often involved discussion of how the mix of alignments could co-exist. Players would point out that one character or another was acting inconsistently with their environment, etc. Thursday, January 15, 2015. Precision and Balance in Narrative Skill Systems. The result is a system in which the influence of ...

Adventures, planar in nature. Thursday, June 11, 2015. Roundtable 6: the sliding scale of difficulty. Another month, another GM Roundtable post. The Game Masters' Roundtable of Doom is a meeting of the minds of tabletop RPG bloggers and GMs. We endeavor to transcend a particular system or game and discuss topics that are relevant to GMs and players of all roleplaying games. This month's topic comes to us courtesy of Lex Starwalker:. Where do you, as a GM, fall on this spectrum, and why? Refers where all ...

Saturday, July 25, 2015. IRL Adventure 1 - #GetOutAndArt at Twin Lakes Park. A Quest for Creativity. No pleasure, no rapture, no exquisite sin greater. than central air.". Sure, we've had other excursions over the last few months. #GetOutAndGame with our friends Melinda and Tristan. Was awesome, as was our summer beach vacation. In Delaware. But if I'm ever going to teach my kids how to properly appreciate nature, I need to spend a little more time outside. I just needed the proper motivation. Every Satu...

Adventures, planar in nature. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Preparing the Purple Coast. My current 5th edition D&D game. Set in the Forgotten Realms and inspired by Narcosa has reached its third season and it is going really well. After two sessions that were partially devoted to character creation, we finally had a full session. Picking up where the group previously left off: leaving Beregost, heading south to Nashkell. I've implemented location based encounters as approximately single page, both sides. Th...
