Review: Chivalry & Sorcery Essence – Mark Rolls Dice
https://markrollsdice.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/review-chivalry-sorcery-essence
Mark Damon Hughes on playing and writing tabletop RPGs. Review: Chivalry and Sorcery Essence. The new Chivalry and Sorcery Essence. PDF from Brittannia Game Designs is out. This is the first new set of C&S rules in years, and is the start of a line of products. BGD has been making C&S settings for some time, but I haven’t actually read any of those. And choose a vocation, which give you a number of skills with 1 to 2 bonuses, so not very significant compared to stats, though they will be easier to improve.

Mark Damon Hughes on playing and writing tabletop RPGs. Hi, there. I’m Mark Damon Hughes, gamer and game designer. You may know me from my old RPG site and reviews at kuoi. And there’s a ton of resources there. My old games: Phobos, DUDE, and GPA. My reviews, detailed and sometimes soul-crushing. Archives of various things. A billion links to obscure RPGs. All of these things will be kept there for now, I may move them over eventually, or not. For comedy or one-shots, I still use Tunnels and Trolls.

Classes in D&D – Mark Rolls Dice
https://markrollsdice.wordpress.com/2012/05/09/classes-in-dd
Mark Damon Hughes on playing and writing tabletop RPGs. D&D 5th Edition’s (#dndnext) classes seem to be varying between 4 and 50.

Scholars can just be Magic-Users. Bards can just be Clerics. Tradesmen can just be Fighters, o...D&D Next Playte...
