The Benign Brown Beast: Anniversary and Crowdfunding Analysis
http://benignbrownbeast.blogspot.com/2013/08/anniversary-and-crowdfunding-analysis.html
The Benign Brown Beast. Wednesday, August 7, 2013. Anniversary and Crowdfunding Analysis. I apparently missed my one-year aniversary, but the blog's been slow recently. A lot has happened in the last half-year: I've graduated, I've moved (Boston to Buffalo), I've found employment. Unfortunately, I may not be gaming as much any more, but we'll see how that plays out long term. I would like to dedicate this to Erik Tenkar. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Anniversary and Crowdfunding Analysis. And the s...

http://benignbrownbeast.blogspot.com/2013/01/bestiaries-and-ubiquitous-sages.html
The Benign Brown Beast. Sunday, January 20, 2013. Bestiaries and The Ubiquitous Sages. The Ashmole Bestiary (Source: Wikipedia. Monster books are great. Let's look at some more obscure ones than the Monster Manual that everyone knows. By Jason Bulmahn and F. Wesley Schneider. Paizo released this pamphlet as a preview of the Pathfinder Bestiary on Free RPG Day. As of the Bestiary 3, I think all of the monsters in this book have appeared in other Pathfinder supplements. The MMII is unique among the monster...

The Benign Brown Beast: September 2012
http://benignbrownbeast.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
The Benign Brown Beast. Monday, September 17, 2012. Non-transitive Dice with Cards. Are a fascinating phenomenon. However, I don't really want to buy more dice*, especially dice that look, at a glance, like all my other dice. So I've been trying to think up a way to have non-transitive dice without actually needing new dice. Example of non-transitive dice (opposite sides are same) (Image Source: Wikimedia Commons. I don't personally have a use for them yet, but if you come up with one I'd love to know.

The Benign Brown Beast: July 2012

The Benign Brown Beast. Saturday, July 28, 2012. The standard non-human races work well for a high-fantasy and high-magic setting, but I have trouble explaining them in settings with fewer deities. On the other hand, I do feel that these races can add to a setting and I have players who like them. The elemental parliament remains distant and makes few contracts, but contracted halflings become dwarves. It is unknown however, what contracted humans might become. Contracts with the true fey are responsible...

The Benign Brown Beast: November 2012
http://benignbrownbeast.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
The Benign Brown Beast. Friday, November 23, 2012. Miscellaneous Mechanics and Ideas. I haven't had a whole lot of time recently, but there's still some ideas kicking around in my head. For making an alien in Samurai Jack:. Roll 1d6 for number of eyes. For characters from large families:. The higher number is the number of children. The lower number is your birth order. For halflings, use 2d20. Use AC as splinted mail, with a bonus to Cha, and penalties to Dex. Tell me these are really so different.
