Rants, Ramblings, and Essays on Gaming and RPGs. Also on Game and Story Design. Sunday, August 2, 2015. GenCon Day 3: Star Wars, Paizo, and Sol. Day 3 is over, and all in all it was a much more sedate day. It was also the first time I ran a game at a con, and I felt it went well, especially considering I had no intentions for GMing at all this weekend. Booth and talked about The Strange and Numenerra. With a comatose racer pilot to get him past his manager/crew and into his race car. Good work diving in ...

Rants, Ramblings, and Essays on Gaming and RPGs. Also on Game and Story Design. Monday, August 10, 2015. A Diggy Dig Hole. I recognize the original post for today is a bit on the short side, and so you guys get TWO short posts instead of one normal posts. So, fun news. I'm finally going to be able to run a D&D 5th ed game of a sort. Not a long game, but a game. How? Other options for random rolling I've found:. Roll 3D4, drop the lowest, and add 7. Roll 4d6 reroll the first 1 on each die, drop the lowest.

What kind of negative notables? As for the sec...
