Space Stations are common in many forms of science fiction, especially in the more fantastic variants. Characters in galaxy spanning campaigns will visit merchant outposts,deep space rescue holdouts, rogue hideouts and even pirate holdings. Even the more realistic settings will have a fair share of refueling depots, relay points, way stations and extraterritorial enclaves. And […]
German Disclaimer for my players: Meinen lieben Spieler, BITTE BLEIBT DRAUSSEN BIS ICH EUCH EINEN LINKS HIERZU SCHICKE! (Note: I started to write this blog post about two weeks ago, but never finalized it till now) Things do not go according to plan. This time, my plan was to provide a -REAL- “one-session-thing” for my […]
So, I want to send my players on a little monster hunt (based on and created with Rampaging Monsters by Zzarchov Kowolski). The PC of my players would rather continue to loot a dungeon they entered through a Skullface in the Mountains, I thereby need a nice hook for them.
Captain Kirk and his crew encounter a technological item back from the 20th century in an otherwise completely clear part of the open space. Do you know what it is?
Today is the day, my friend will arrive in the afternoon for the session. I started the morning with a cup of coffee (well, more than just one) and a bit of fine tweaking to my RPG play list. After all, I want the Fiend of Mudheath to be an entertaining experience for my friends […]
This morning I realized that I was making a mistake: my current incarnation of the Faceless Giant was fitting my FATE(tm) group, but it was not true to the vibe and scheme of my LotFP(tm) game. I started in Dunnsmouth, they had face strange people and weird events. The kind of monsters that make you […]
My LotFP group is going to meet again this Sunday, so I am back to session prep once more. Right now, they expect to travel back to Spillswick (a fictional city at the southern coast of England; about 1530), to sell loot, to re-group and then head out to Dunnsmouth and the nearby Skull in […]
Originally, I planned to use an NPC knight errant (and his squire) to function as the hook for my next FATE(tm) session (tomorrow evening it will be), but after a while it came to my mind that it would be better to use one of the PC (or more precisely, one of the PC´s ambitions) […]
The fixer known as Ace Glasses looked around the small room, into the face and the eyes of each of the professionals he had gathered here. His poker face was up, but he could read in those of the others like in an open book. That was one of the things he made a living […]
Another player wants to join my current OSR group, so I provide the same service to him that I provided to the others as well: I offer a couple of pre-made characters. Somehow, these tend to be a success with my players: they adopt the frame work I provide and flesh it out to make […]
