Being in the Main the Mouth of Olde House Rules. Thursday, April 30, 2015. Armor Piercing in Pits and Perils. In Pits and Perils, armor provides bonus hit points (and greater survivability per Infernal Realms). Fine. But how does one depict armor piercing weaponry in this kind of game system? How about a sword 1 vs. armored opponents? The game already does this with the axe of hewing ( 2 vs. shield using enemies). So consider the following ready to use weaponry:. Armor piercing blades are deadly,. We all...

http://goblinstomper.blogspot.com/2017/01/the-dm-its-not-job-its-adventure.html
Thursday, January 5, 2017. The DM : It's Not a Job, It's an Adventure! I want to be very clear on what I say next. 1 Play in games with other DM's. You may have done this a time or two and now you think you wanna be the DM, but you can do both. Keep playing and when you play, determine what you like and dislike about how the DM runs his/her game. Do I use any online sources, or watch any games being played? I really like the community currently going over at the DMSupportgroup. Being a follower of folks ...

Monday, September 19, 2016. Real vs. Virtual Fantasy Role Playing.wait.what? Playing TTRPG's at the actual. Along came Virtual Tabletops (VTT's) at about this time, and I started investigating. My friend and gaming buddy of many years who lived many states away began this journey with me. At first, we found a game that utilized Maptool. There weren't too many options at this point, so we flipped over to Fantasy Grounds and decided (after some research) to pull the trigger and each buy a Full License.

Tuesday, January 31, 2017. It's Torture, Playing OSR Style. This blog post isn't about right or wrong. It's not about good, or evil either. The way I approach torture in-game is not about my personal beliefs or my moral compass (assuming I have one), it's about two basic concepts, role-play methodology and a mechanic. In other words, what is the PC doing in order to extract the information they seek, and how does the target of this behavior react? Infliction of pain, abuse. Inflict severe pain on. 8220;P...

The Rod of Seven Parts! Sometimes, if you take c...

Friday, May 13, 2016. Clerics and the God Worm. Below are my thoughts for clerics serving the God Worm, based on Tony Dowler's Purple Worm Graveyard. In the adventure, it's implied that there's a tradition of human cultists worshipping a powerful Worm God, and that it usually goes badly for them. CLERICS AND THE GOD WORM. The God Worm is neutral in (or perhaps prior to and separate from) the great Cosmic Struggle between Order and Chaos, but its worshippers may be of any alignment. Whenever the cleric ro...
