Hey, second Wednesday in a row. Watch out. Tuesday Gaming: We had gaming! I Gm’d a session of my continuing Dungeon World game. I think I did a better job incorporating actions expectations from the players. However, I think that the reveal of the adventure is going a little slow. More next week. Game Production: […]
I think I’m Doing It Wrong
A great new Dungeon World product was released this week – Truncheon World. It compiles all the Dungeon Master rules into one document with some formatting and organizational changes. Brilliant. (It’s on Drive Thru RPG on a pay what you want basis.) As I was reading it this week, I came to realize that I […]
Wednesday Update
Welcome to what will hopefully be a weekly Wednesday Update. I’m borrowing an idea from one of my favorite Star Wars authors/gamers – Sterling Hershey – and trying to dedicate myself to a weekly update. I wont have as many specific Star Wars links as he does – I’m sure there will be a few […]
Failure and Inspiration
I’ve mentioned a post or two ago that I was trying the Gamer Lifestyle 30 day product boot camp. It is not going well. A few days into the writing and creating process, I got stuck traveling down too many paths and ended up stopping. Embarrassing. My ideas collided with the current options I found […]
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 […]
Numenera Fan Use and Licensing
Monte Cook’s new game Numenera is very exciting. I joined the Kickstarter at just the pdf level, so got the electronic versions of the complete book and players guide. I’m still waiting to play (C’mon Scott!), but have read through the book and tried the online character generator. Now they’ve created a Fan Use, Limited/Small […]
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 […]
