Social combat via CMP

Posted on 2019 November 30 by njwNovember 30, 2019

I designed B&C with no specific social combat system. As I’ve mentioned before, I and a lot of other people tend to find social combat rather deprotagonizing. That is not to say, though, that B&C couldn’t have a social combat … Continue reading →

New Traits for Blade & Crown: Naïve

Posted on 2019 October 14 by njwOctober 14, 2019

Another B&C Trait, not inspired by anything in particular: You are naïve. You tend to assume the purest motives in others, to look at the world with childish simplicity, and to perhaps assume that the way things appear now is … Continue reading →

Posted on 2019 January 27 by njwJanuary 27, 2019

Would you be interested in a new edition of Blade & Crown? It’s now been out for more than six years. It’s had some small degree of success. I always wonder, though: would a new edition help it get more … Continue reading →

High-powered fighting styles?

Posted on 2018 February 25 by njwFebruary 25, 2018

I included Fighting Styles in the rules because it seemed like a neat mechanic, and a nice way to get those kind of “I find that Thibault cancels out Capoferro” and “Aha, I see you studied with Heren of Lestul; … Continue reading →

Bundle of Holding: Catalyst series

Posted on 2017 July 14 by njwJuly 14, 2017

A current Bundle of Holding is a very nice one. This iteration contains the CityBook series, which has long since been one of my favorite supplements for fantasy RPGs. Each book is a really nice slot-anywhere book of encounters, structured … Continue reading →

Management Og

Posted on 2017 June 30 by njwJune 30, 2017

A while back I had another great session of Og. The cave-people started a forest fire, made some fish paste (which they wore very tastefully), and managed to get abducted by an alien boy-band scout. Typically brilliant Og silliness. It … Continue reading →

Another classic personality trait that makes a good Trait: You are generally happy. Most of the time, you enjoy yourself. You usually seem to have a smile on your face, and your expression matches your feelings. Other people might take … Continue reading →

Alternate healing rules for B&C, part 2

Posted on 2015 February 1 by njwFebruary 1, 2015

During today’s B&C session, we briefly discussed healing of wounds. (Pretty much the entire party has one or another wounds, so it’s pretty important right now.) I suggested trying my proposed quick and easy healing rules, but quickly realized a … Continue reading →

New Traits for Blade & Crown: Funny

Posted on 2015 January 19 by njwJanuary 19, 2015

I suppose an argument could be made that this Trait overlaps with some or another skill, but I think it’s clear enough that it’s a personality trait all its own: You’re Funny. Other people often find your words or actions … Continue reading →
