The distant call of seagulls and the gentle crashing of waves can be heard near these City Docks, where sailors from faraway lands and merchants visit. These docks are always busy, as ships are loaded up with shipments both mundane and rare…

I think my sister in law colorized this one while playing with my niece.

Hello! My name is Jürgen, and I translate German folk tales.

The bard’s 20th level. It’ll be quick.

I am currently running a “dungeon delving” campaign (in the Ptolus campaign setting), and one of the characters has decided that she wants to get some side income by carving chess sets out of monster carcasses they have come across and selling them.

Hear ye, hear ye! 📯 Tales From the Tables is back with episode 62: Stage Fright, part 2!

This worked surprisingly well, the fan is held in place by hopes and prayers, and my hand when moving up or down hill

This is another area from the same giant map I talked about in this post.

The Secret Origin of Free RPG Day

Back in the 1990s and the Oughts, I loved conspiracy-based RPG settings and material. I devoured GURPS Illuminati, Delta Green, Kenneth Hite’s Suppressed Transmission columns, and so on.

When reading Cory Doctorow’s recent essay "The tedious power of stroytelling", I had a breakthrough in my understanding of folklore:

This is from last year.

GURPS 3E had an amazing number of supplements on the most bizarre subjects, and I wonder what your favorite among them is.

Have you ever done a map using a GIS (Geo-Information System) framework?

I love the setting of Brancalonia. I love the humor, I love the folklore, and I am currently learning Italian in evening classes to boot, so this is basically a perfect mix.

While GURPS is still one of my favorite RPG systems, I have to admit that I haven’t paid much attention to it in the last few years - my local gaming group is absolutely uninterested in using this system, and my new side business of translating German folk tales has left me with far less time for recreational RPG reading.

That things rarely go according to plan is part of running an RPG. The players will surprise you, and often this is entirely fine - in fact, it might result in a more memorable experience and a better game.

I love the idea of modular micro maps that can connect together, so I’ve been working on a solo RPG that uses that mechanic. This is a map of floor 13 of the dungeon I’m exploring, constructed from 6 basic room shapes (with a little flexibility to make them join up in some places).

I tried (and failed) to write a decent pun for a title.

Hear ye, hear ye! Tales From the Tables is back with episode #61: Stage Fright!

Okay, I am going to say it: What’s with all the Nazeem hate?

Here’s a fillable version of the official character sheet for Dicey Tales, the pulp adventure RPG.

I’ve long thought that portraying elevation in top-down maps is extremely hard.

They should be useful to connect other micro-maps as geomorphs.

While the Player Core has straightforward prices for what it costs to hire someone to cast a spell, I’ve always struggled with what it would cost to hire ritual casters.

For reference: There is a duell in the module where a shaman tries to secretly help one NPC by continously casting Cure Wounds on him while supposedly only helping him “stand up” after he intentionally let‘s himself fall prone. To spot this, a PC has to specifically declare checking for interventions a then suceed a DC 15 perception-check despite being within earshot…

Let’s share some fantastic, bizarre, and weird real world locations that would make perfect fodder for #ttrpg !

Biomes - environments that fall into a certain category - are a great way to set the atmosphere for a specific adventure. We all know of deserts, forests, swamps, mountains, and so forth, and each of these biomes have their own iconic adventures and adventure sites.

Share some cool historical details you’ve learned that just beg for inclusion in an RPG!

This is an almost abandoned project from many years ago. But I thought I’d share anyway.

This might have been better if I’d done it with “murderhobo” instead of “min-maxer,” but it is what it is.

I am running a fantasy campaign (using the Ptolus setting), and the PC just looted a “conspiracy board” from the hideout of a rather unhinged creature.

I’ve long had problems picturing the way that the spoke in Death Station works. Hope someone here can help me understand it (or figure out a way to explain it).

Game - Princess: The Hopeful, a New World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness fangame

It’s been a while since I posted a scifi “map”/deckplan. These are the other two decks:

What are your top three Pathfinder Adventure Paths, from either edition - and why?

I buy a lot of digital RPG books - the shelf space in my apartment is ultimately limited, while the space on my hard drive is far less constrained (despite current storage prices). Furthermore, while the reading experience is still slightly better for physical books, I have a color e-ink reader which comes close enough for my purposes.

While fantasy is a many-varied genre, religion in fantasy RPGs is often some mix-up of polytheism with Christian notions - including of the afterlife. The common assumption seems to be that while there are a multitude of gods, if you dedicate your life and belief in that god in particular you will end up in the specific afterlife of that god.

StatblockWizard can now be installed as an app ("PWA") on systems that support this.

The practice of using fantasy counterpart cultures - cultures and societies that are very similar to real world cultures of specific times and places - has a long history in fantasy in general, and fantasy RPGs in particular.

I wanted a fairly clean SW sheet for an upcoming pulp one-shot.

Surely most of you have already heard about this, but in case some of you haven’t:

Ich bin sehr an deutschen Sagen und Legenden interessiert, und aus diesem Grund haben mir schon mehrere Leute das Rollenspiel Hexxen 1733 empfohlen. Ich habe mir jetzt kürzlich mehrere PDFs aus der Reihe gekauft, und basierend auf den ersten Eindrücken ist das Setting tatsächlich sehr stimmungsvoll. Allerdings muss ich zugeben, dass ich mich mit einer zentralen Prämisse des Settings nicht anfreunden kann:

This run against gatekeeper was too much fun.

Hello everyone. I’m posting this to ask what people would think would be useful in software designed for supporting Solo RPG play in the (incredibly advanced) Emacs text editor.
