Tokyo DnD notes

Session 3 recap - Calendar dates - 5th of Springwane, left Voltaine. 15th - Arrived at the Mountains of Peril. 19th - Arrived at Grizdak. Downtime - Moradin and Ousk - Went and did some crimes. They were mildly successful and also saw that there is quite the rival, to the point of animosity, between …

Basic Fantasy, OSR and solo play.

I have been quite interested in the OSR scene for a while now. The main interest I have had is this divide, nearly a tribal feel, of 'old school vs 'new school' and what that entails. So seeing as getting groups together to play RPGs is a trial in itself, solo it is. Basic Fantasy …

New campaign, new map!

Yesterday we had our session 0 / 1 all combined together. It went well. Of course, one of the hardest things about GMing is giving yourself credit for doing a good job. Always things I would like to have done better. One thing that did go well without a doubt is the world building. We …

Forbidden Lands – Trying out the solo rules

The recent release of the Bloodmarch and Book of Beasts had me excited about two things mainly. The first was monsters with with even and encounter ideas attached. I felt these would be great as one session, monster hunter type scenarios. The other was the official solo rules released by Forbidden Lands. I have become …

Prep for a game can be better than the game itself.

While I hope the title doesn't ring true, the main point is that a new DnD 5e game is upcoming with my old North American Burning Wheel mates. We will set the game on the other side of the world to our 2 year long Burning Wheel game and have some loose connections to that …

RPG so far this year.

This year has really just been about playing one on one games with my son. We have played around 6 or 7 sessions of the Mausritter hexcrawl I posted at the end of the last post. My wife even played which was a great fun session and she brought different energy and role playing ideas …

2022, rpg’s and me.

It has been nearly a full year since I've posted on my RPG website. Work and a re-establishing of a video game habit have definitely contributed to that. I also just haven't had as much passion for gaming in the past year as previously. It has been a struggle to get players involved on the …

Scum and Villainy session #1

So after playing a two session game of Microscope, then spending the equivalent of a session building out locations and factions (this was actually really fun and helped endlessly from our Microscope game), we played our first session of Scum and Villainy. It was really fun, with teething problems. The teething problems were mainly that …

Ironsworn – Sibilia’s Tale – Chapter 1 Part 2

Vengeance for Vigo We made good progress up the cold face of the Peak. A landing of sorts, a deep cut in the cold stone, was a good place for us to take a rest on the climb. No one wants to get altitude sickness before a fight. After another day of hard clambering through …

Star Wars D6

So i have been playing some D6 Star Wars these past few weeks. It has been really fun. There are a few things going for it. The system is nice and light, with the way the GM has implemented it. It is Star Wars, which i have not had the chance to play in before. …
