A little while ago, I posted about Deliria, while I was still reading it. Well, I just finished last night, and I wanted to follow up with a few things.
First, I still feel fundamentally the same about the game. I like the setting, and I like the rules; I’d probably jump at the [...]

I just got done watching Pan’s Labyrinth. Very, very good. Those who are unacquainted with the movie should go in knowing two things. First, though it is a fairy tale, this movie is most assuredly not for kids. There’s some profanity, and there’s more than a little bit of fairly graphic [...]

Got Fhtaghn? Those who have been reading this blog for a while may remember that I’m a fan of both Munchkin and Arkham Horror. It should come as no surprise, then, that a game that combines aspects of both games would interest me. I bought Munchkin Cthulhu last night and got to [...]

Treasure Tables just posted on the role of published adventures now that Dungeon has gone toes-up, and it got me thinking. Was there much demand for published adventures at my table? Not really, no. That isn’t to say I don’t own any; I own an Eberron adventure, and I got five or [...]

In no particular order:
1. The Elder Scrolls 4: The Shivering Isles is really, really cool. It’s so vastly different from the main game that it reintroduces the sense of wonder you got from the original. The characters are really interesting (you know, cause they’re all crazy), the dungeon design seems pretty good, and [...]

I just got back from seeing Spider-Man 3 (some spoilers ahead; be warned). It’s interesting; had I gone in not having heard anything about it, I probably would have been disappointed. As it is, though, I wasn’t, since I had heard a lot of people say that it wasn’t as good as the [...]

I’m currently making my way through Phil Brucato’s Deliria, and I have mixed feelings. I should mention, at this point, that I’m not finished with the book, though I am in chapter 6 of 7. The first three chapters are all setting and atmosphere, and they’re completely awesome. Brocato uses a lyrical [...]

Treasure Tables posted an article, complete with lengthy commentary, on fudging die rolls. As has been mentioned in that article, the topic of fudging is something of a hot-button in the RPG world. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why. Why is it so important that other people game [...]

I’ve just finished posting Saga as a free PDF on Lulu.com. It’s the same file you can get on this site, except that it’s got a cover.

On the off-chance that there are publishers looking for a new card game reading this blog, I just thought I’d mention that I’m now shopping around for a publisher for Skullduggery. For those who don’t know, here’s the skinny on the game, straight from my proposal:
Skullduggery is a card game in which the players [...]
