Should higher-magnitude spells require longer intervals to cast? As it stands, higher-magnitude spells are rarer to find nodes for, and more dangerous to cast. But perhaps there should also be a set frequency at which they can be cast. In … Continue reading →

New Traits for Blade & Crown: Quiet

Posted on 2021 January 31 by njwJanuary 31, 2021

Inspired by recent game-play. You are Quiet. Perhaps you speak softly and carry a large sword; or perhaps you don’t have much to say, because you know words only cause trouble. Your quiet may give you gravity, or it may … Continue reading →

A reminder

Posted on 2020 February 29 by njwFebruary 29, 2020

The Medieval Mountain Monastery Murder Mystery is a scenario in which all the characters are trans. All the characters. And it deals with some pretty deep trans issues. I’ve done what I can to get the word out about it, … Continue reading →

Variation Die: Things to say

Posted on 2020 January 29 by njwJanuary 29, 2020

Another thing I perhaps didn’t clarify enough about the Variation Die in the Blade & Crown rules: You can use your Variation Die roll as inspiration for an original, evocative thing you say. It doesn’t just have to be a … Continue reading →

Posted on 2019 December 29 by njwDecember 29, 2019

While I was preparing for my most recent Blade & Crown campaign session, set in Calteir, I noticed that the wiki entry was number 100. That meant my campaign has had a full hundred sessions. Wow! Not sure how many … Continue reading →

New Traits for Blade & Crown: Naïve

Posted on 2019 October 14 by njwOctober 14, 2019
