I was playing in a Dungeon Fantasy game GMed by Timothy “Humabot” Ponce and one of my fellow players (Tai Parry) created what was essentially Link from Legend of Zelda. What eventually became one of Tai’s signature moves was a slam with a shield. It was, in a word, devastating. Inspired by various game sessions and a few […]

When I was starting to run Dungeon Fantasy for the first time I decided that I’d make a bunch of options that I knew my players would like or use. I did this both to fill out my handout a little more and to be able to use the content later on in a publication […]

So +Douglas Cole talks about a few more uses for the Tactics skill in a recent blog post. I’ve already covered Evaluate as a skill. But the idea of Tactics doing is certainly a great springboard. So what would I do? Well, like always, I have a few ideas at hand. More Tactical EffectsBesides its Basic Set uses, […]

So +Peter V. Dell’Orto threw down this interesting post about an alternative approach to how HP can affect your healing. Normally, at HP 20 you multiply all sources of healing by two, at HP 30 you multiply them by three, and so on. Now, that works well enough – if you have monstrous HP then you get […]

So here’s what we came up with… …if you’d like to read more, consider becoming a patron! (If […]

I like to toy around with game mechanics when I create campaign settings. It allows me to make a campaign setting feel unique and give it its own flavor. The rules for a single attribute for all paranormal powers came to me after a discussion on physics (of all things) and how you might apply […]

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Revenge is best served cold. Justice will be served. Our language is littered with phrases like this. But what’s the difference between justice and revenge? Who cares! This! Is! Dungeon! Fantasy! Whether It’s a noose or bringing ‘em back alive you get your man and he gets what’s […]
