FOR BECOMING GREAT SUB-CREATORS
I've been reading and watching and reading Goblin Slayer (watch it on Crunchyroll, NSFW) and Vinland Saga (watch it on Amazon Prime, rated mature for violence and language), both very OSR types of anime/manga. Consuming these has put me in a very inspired, creative mindset. So, I refurbished my hack of Knave and gave it … Continue reading Rascal (Knave Hack)
This has been a passion project of mine for two years now. Avatar: The Last Airbender is my favorite show ever. Apocalypse World has forever changed my RPG experience. Mashing the two has been a blast. Watching Samurai Champloo has reinvigorated my interest in this game and my design philosophy has changed a bit since … Continue reading World of Elements
Confession #1: I don’t like roll-under systems. Don’t get me wrong, I adore Into the Odd, but that’s mostly because of the simplified tri-stat characters and razor-sharp, wicked fast combat. The math is opposite and it feels wrong. Confession #2: I love six-sided dice. A lot. Most gamers use d20, which is fine. But nothing … Continue reading Union: Troika! + Red Ink Adventures
Here is a hack of Red Ink Adventures from u/StrongholdPressGames! This is a link to the discussion over at r/osr! Some changes I noticed: Flexible Target Number. Not all Danger Rolls are "6 or bust."Initiative is 1d vs 1d, higher goes first.Attack Rolls are Opposed Rolls. This also changes how damage works.Dying Roll is switched … Continue reading Red Ink Slashed: An RIA Hack
I've seen these all over the internet (and in a game or two if I'm not mistaken). The idea is that a random encounter on a 1-in-6 is basically not worth rolling. If I'm going to roll the dice, something BETTER happen. "Every four hours in the wilderness or one hour in the dungeon, roll … Continue reading Hazard Roll (d6)
Cyberpunk 2077, Cyberpunk 2020, Altered Carbon, Shadowrun, and, of course, Bladerunner. Lazy name, I apologize. I made a cyberpunk hack of Swords Without Master called Guns Without Master, based on my Into the Odd hack, called Blood and Chrome. This is not an RPG. Well, if you consider FATE an RPG, than this is too. … Continue reading Guns Without Master
Paul Revere I made a capstone project for my Honors program. Me being me, I made role-playing scenarios to be put in a social studies classroom. Two of these were for the games Quill and Parsely. The links to the actual scenarios I made are hidden in the article and located at the bottom of … Continue reading A Tale of Two Scenarios
The title. I made a character sheet for a Lord of the Rings RPG game based on the Tolkien Quest books (which apparently was also called Middle-Earth Quest at one point?). Essentially, I thought "well, Troika is an RPG based on the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, why not make one based on the Tolkien Quest ones?" … Continue reading Fighting Fantasy is to Troika as Tolkien Quest is to Middle-Earth Adventure Game
I love this game very much. 🙂 I've been working on a Maze Rats hack of my own. This is the character generation sheet. The "features" referenced on Step 3 is something I have yet to create. Some rapid-fire changes I'm shooting for: Lower armor (base 5 instead of 6)Increased health (like, double maybe more)No … Continue reading Maze Rats v5 CharGen Preview
"GRIT" is a system I've begun to develop in order to run a game online with some casual friends. I've run World of Elements and World of Dungeons (both are simple PtbA games) with this group of players before. They aren't too keen on the rules aspects of the games, remembering all the numbers, and … Continue reading Grit System
