Cleric Domains – 5e – Travel

Another Cleric Domain, this time the Travel Domain. There were a lot of cool spells to choose from, many of them not in the Cleric list. Probably could have put the spell list together either just from Druid or just from Wizard. Made it a little harder to put together the abilities, because most of […]

Cleric Domains – 5e – War and Peace

Yes I know there’s already a War domain, I just liked the title. The Peace domain was harder than I thought. 5e is a role playing game with many rules for combat. Of course this means that there are not a lot of rules for “peaceful” actions. There were a good number of spells, and […]

Cleric Domains – 5e – Death and Pirates

One of the players in my 5e game is playing a Cleric, but was unhappy with the selection of domains. His cleric has a seafaring/pirate background. While Tempest is close to what he wants, it just isn’t quite right. So we have been going back and forth creating a new domain for him. I’ll post […]

New Games – Torchbearer

Just received my copy of Torchbearer from Burning Wheel. I’ll have a more detailed review later after getting to play. Right now, I love the way this book looks. There is a consistent style to the art and the layout that really takes me back to my first RPG books. While the cover is in […]

Writing is Hard

In this part of the 30 Day product creation the focus is on writing. Just write – get words on the screen. One of the things I’m struggling with is a technique where you don’t edit as you type/write. This is proving to be the hardest part. At work I write emails to respond to […]

Product Beginings

My first product is started. I’m participating in a 30 day Gaming Bootcamp designed to get a small product up and running on DriveThruRPG. Like I stated in an earlier post, I’m creating a set of linked Fronts for Dungeon World. The first one is already complete and posted on the site. Although, after planning […]

Cards Against Humanity

Short gaming session last night led to a game of Cards Against Humanity. One of the players had printed off the free pdf, and after some cutting and shuffling, we were ready to play. The rules took less than 2 minutes – it took longer to pass out he cards. Needless to say – hilarity […]

Making Something to Sell?

What would you make to sell as a gaming product? I had to figure this out for myself. And the better question is what would I buy as a gaming product. As a GM, I like adventures and accessories (maps, figures, terrain, pre-made NPCs). Maps are out for now. Can’t draw and can’t afford mapping […]

First Playtest and Front

Taking my life and imagination in hand, I had my first playtest with my two sons and two daughters of one of the folks in my regular gaming group. They started through the first adventure in the “Why Did the City Burn Down” adventure. The number one thing that I learned is – kids have […]
