Last month, I got the chance to game with what I still consider my weekly group. Most of the time, I’m approximately 12 time zones away from them while they’re gaming. This makes it very difficult to join in to … Continue reading →

Bundle of Holding: Jovian Chronicles

Posted on 2018 March 21 by njwMarch 21, 2018

If I ran an SF RPG these days, it’s very likely I would use the Silhouette rules to do it. The rules were pretty influential on Blade & Crown. I really like the “roll multiple D6, keep the highest, get … Continue reading →

High-powered fighting styles?

Posted on 2018 February 25 by njwAugust 21, 2021

How do you add flavor to an Awareness roll?

Posted on 2017 October 27 by njwJuly 17, 2018

One common problem for B&C players is how to use the Variation Die when they’re rolling for Awareness. You don’t know what you’ve noticed yet, if anything, so how can you narrate the way you’re trying to notice things? My … Continue reading →

Blade & Crown: Characteristic and skill combinations

Posted on 2017 April 24 by njwFebruary 29, 2020

A passing thought: Medical campaigns?

Posted on 2017 March 31 by njwApril 3, 2017

Cyberpunk 2020 introduced me to the concept of the medical campaign, where the PCs are medics. They probably all share an ambulance, and go around saving people from disease and injury and whatnot. For some reason, this always struck me … Continue reading →

Pre-gen PCs 2: Kathalla the Theologian

Posted on 2016 September 17 by njwSeptember 17, 2016

This is another of the pre-gen characters from my Medieval Mountain Monastery Mystery scenario. Kathalla is not from Morensia, the main culture where the adventure is set; instead, she’s from a nearby kingdom that is, arguably, more advanced than the … Continue reading →
