Willmark's Darkside Blog: August 2013

Sunday, August 25, 2013. FASERIP, aka Marvel Superheros and its damn awesome. Some like Champions with its crunch, some like Villains and Vigilantes, for me its neither. If I'm going for a Super hero system it has to be Marvel Superheroes. In my mind nothing else even comes close. The Marvel system does a great job recreating the comic books. Henceforth I'll be referring to it as MSH. The Marvel system is a breeze with many fans knowing it as Marvel FASERIP. FASERIP stands for attributes in the game F.

Monday, December 23, 2013. What I've been up to. So its late in the year and my ADD has kicked in again (I don't really have it, but it happens from time to time none the less). As you've probably noticed I blog in spurts, which tends to mirror real life. This fall was an exceptionally busy one so I didn't get on here as much as I would have liked. 2e modules- These are a bit of a conundrum. Right now they first three, W1- Tomb of the Lost Lich Lord, W2- Assault on the Hill Giant Raiders and W3- Aeri...

A haven for exquisite Fantasy, Role Playing games, books, visual art and moody music content. A place for all wandering souls who let their imagination roam free. Come in, come in. Wednesday, 24 December 2014. D&D 5 Monster Manual review. The first of my D&D5 manuals' reviews. Since I got the D&D5 trilogy it was all too clear to me they all deserved that. I am a sworn AD&D2 fan, I started my adventure with it and thought I'd finish with it. What's so good about it? Yeah, I remember leafing through MMs an...

Thursday, 18 September 2014. Encounter Tables pt.3. After over a year of playtesting I finally had some practical conclusions regarding the encounter tables I shared previously. Thus, using too much random combat encounters destroys the game rather than constructs it. Please note that it is not a tale of the 90's kid being sed...

Thursday, January 30, 2014. 1st Edition AD&D Part II- My character, Relendor Silkenweb. In my previous installment I chronicled the genesis of THE CAMPAIGN here. Also it was later on in the campaign as I had acquired a few more magic items and lost others. Now looking at the first page a few things are noticeable. First, I wonder why my character has such a low charisma? Trying to tell me something Jeff? Lastly a Fighter/ Rune-caster. For this game the magic users used runes. Each day we would chisel...

It all started with me being frustrated over the fact Paizo does not accept AMEX cards (shame on you Paizo, shame on you). I was h...The b...

Willmark's Darkside Blog: February 2015

Sunday, February 15, 2015. Since its sub zero Fahrenheit here in western NY, (it about -2 with wind chill its -22) I figured this would be a great time for this post given the location of the movie! Continuing my musings on campaign worlds on the blog as of late, here's a thought: How about a game (and it could work in almost any game system) based on the Thing? Obviously, the horror genre games would work, but in a way it could be derivative of zombie genre as I covered here. So as an RPG? Barring that,...

I have just come across a great site designed by Seva (I believe) providing access to the complete AD&D2e Monstrous Manual. To all you GM's out there! Tuesday, 14 May 2013. Of course I ...
