This month’s theme for the Brotherhood of Bloggers Who Blog Too Much is all about powers systems we’ve used in our games. What we used “out of the box”, what we’ve adapted to suit the campaign, and what we changed because we didn’t like it. Instead of giving you specifics for what I did dear […]
I’ve been running a urban fantasy campaign for the better part of two decades. The same campaign setting but multiple systems until I finally settled on GURPS just over fourteen years ago. It was one of the first things I created in GURPS and I’ve learned a lot over the iterations. I am of course […]
And I’m back again looking for players. For a while now my groups were steady, but life and withdrawals to do other things have hit me hard on the gaming front. I’m specifically looking for 2-3 players for my Monday night B-Team. We play every week at 1930 hours EST to 2330 hours EST. The […]
Here are how things went for me in 2019: The Good (What I did well or that went well) GURPS Realm Management (aka “SNO-51”) was written, revised, and is currently in playtest. The playtest is likely to be extended and as of this writing there have been over 1,000 emails traded back and forth between […]
Authorial Highlights Work continued on GURPS SNO-51. It’s all coming together in a really great way. I upped my required word count per day to 1,000 and if all goes according to plan I’ll finish sometimes mid-month in March with the first draft. (A 1,000 words the mechanically intensive or research required projects is […]
Authorial Highlights My Pyramid article “Chevaliers and Commanders” (originally titled Cavaliers and Commanders”) was published in Pyramid #3/122: All Good Things. My other Pyramid article “Native American Crusaders” was published in the same issue. This, along with the small box in GURPS Monster Hunters 6: Holy Hunters was part of my short contract I hinted […]
Authorial Highlights My Pyramid article “Merlin’s Magnificent Menagerie” was published in Pyramid #3/120: Travels and Tribulations. I sent back comments on that short GURPS item along with a bit more material. That’s done. I hope. My non-GURPS project stalled got some headway and there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel. And none to […]
Like my last four years in review. Here are how things went for me in 2017: The Good (What I did well or that went well) I was among the privileged few to participate in the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game as an author. As I’ve noted elsewhere, the other list of names included Phil Masters, David L. Pulver, Matt Riggsby, and […]
The following are links to fiction I’ve written and published. Patreon-Only “A Midnight Ride”: A short story set in the world of my game setting “The Chronicles of Ceteri.”
Carpe Blogiem posts are all about not fitting in well elsewhere. Sometimes, it’s just me “thinking out loud” on gaming stuff or some notes/updates/whatever about the blog. It might be me answering questions about my blog or writing or just be noodling out loud about how a movie, video game, etc. might fit in gaming […]
