The Other Side blog: Character Life-Span Development
http://theotherside.timsbrannan.com/2010/06/character-life-span-development.html
Wednesday, June 16, 2010. So I am working on getting my Life-Span Development course up and running for the next term and it got me thinking about the life-span development of characters in games. I know sometimes people just want the collection of numbers so they can beat the crap outta monsters and steal their stuff. That is fine and I like to do that too sometimes. Other times, most times I would say, I prefer to invest in a character and know what makes them tick. Given a number of factors (games I h...

Beyond the Drowning Woods. Dungeon World, Old School Renaissance and WFRP 3rd Edition. Sunday, February 3, 2013. In case you are interested in my thoughts on Old School gaming, I'll be keeping the blog around a little bit longer. But I won't be doing any updates anymore.

Beyond the Drowning Woods. Dungeon World, Old School Renaissance and WFRP 3rd Edition. Tuesday, August 7, 2012. Tainted Magic for Lamentations of the Flame Princess. Tainted magic is a house rule that is inspired by Dungeon Crawl Classic's and ACKS's take on the magic-user class. It is intended for Lamentations of the Flame Princess, where magic-users are already considered chaotic in alignment. The rules also affect elves, but to a lesser degree. To cast a spell, a magic-user has to roll a spellcheck (1...

Beyond the Drowning Woods. Dungeon World, Old School Renaissance and WFRP 3rd Edition. Sunday, January 6, 2013. Whatever happened in Bögenhafen? Athelas and Finubaryel spend time at the Schaffenfest, but apparently elves weren't very welcome there. The market judges more or less banned them. Lutz was feeling out the underworld of Bögenhafen. Apparently, a halfling had taken over the thieves' guild and was running a brisk business in stolen body parts (yes this is as gruesome as it sounds). Meanwhile, Fin...

Beyond the Drowning Woods. Dungeon World, Old School Renaissance and WFRP 3rd Edition. Sunday, July 29, 2012. Meeting Jakob Bauer, Witch Hunter. The session was mostly taken up by rather unsuccessful exploration and rather successful negotiation, so newly discovered information was at a minimum and the plot also didn't develop very far. Saturday, July 21, 2012. I just discovered the GM Merit Badges. Things I have considered and left off:. Beer and Pretzels-style gaming:. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. 1 One rol...

Beyond the Drowning Woods: What I learned from Indie Gaming
http://beyondthedrowningwoods.blogspot.com/2012/07/what-i-learned-from-indie-gaming.html
Beyond the Drowning Woods. Dungeon World, Old School Renaissance and WFRP 3rd Edition. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. What I learned from Indie Gaming. For the most part I think that Indie games (with some noteable exceptions) are an effort in focused game design not neccessarily intended nor useful for campaign gaming. But Indie gaming teaches us some valuable lessons, nonetheless. 1 One roll stands for success or failure. 2 Social stats/skills/abilities are not to be ignored. Joshua L. Lyle. You seem to be pa...

Beyond the Drowning Woods. Dungeon World, Old School Renaissance and WFRP 3rd Edition. Saturday, August 4, 2012. BDQ4 The Quest for the Silver Sword. Originally I had intended to call the next module in the series "The Revenge of the Black Queen", but events turned out differently. The actual play report covers the fourth session of the BDQ series that began with the "Barrow of the Dwarven Queen". As Dungeon World has not released yet, I will still follow my playtest format. Grimdrig fetched Lucius, was ...

Beyond the Drowning Woods. Dungeon World, Old School Renaissance and WFRP 3rd Edition. Wednesday, August 1, 2012. I just saw that at Untimately's blog. If you could only keep ten of your printed RPG books, which would you pick? That is at once difficult and easy. let's see: I am going to follow the rules that Untimately followed: I have to own it and I value the content of the book. I am going to treat boxed sets as one single item. Dark Sun Original Boxed Set (sentimental value, art work and innovation).
