The Felling Blade: February 2013
http://thefellingblade.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 7, 2013. Choose Your Doom, Players. I've been playing around with the idea of players outlining scenario/campaigns for their PCs to survive - and letting them choose the amount of risk vs. reward they want to take on. I think my first serious introduction to it was John Wick's Wilderness of Mirrors. Where as the players develop the mission from the GM's premise, they get the equivalent of plot points. What would it look like? There are three primary challenges:. Happening at a collecti...

Thoughts, rules hacks, and inspiration for tabletop RPGs. Saturday, August 28, 2010. Art of DMing: Making Published Modules Your Own (Part II). I didnt intend to leave this big of a gap in between the entries in this series, but real life and scheduling problems intervened and I didnt want to get ahead of what actually happened in the game. As you might remember from Part I. Clearing monsters out of a castle that had been purchased by a local merchant with too much money and too little sense. Since the ...

4e D&D is not D&D. November 7, 2008. I have nothing particularly against 4e D&D (I am currently enjoy playing in a campaign), but I have to say it isn’t D&D. That isn’t a bad thing, it just has changed so much that it is no longer the same game. Which is okay, as I like playing all kinds of games: D&D, Call of Cthulhu, Runequst, etc, etc. Combat is not fast in 4E. I’m sure some of it is familiarity, but I have found that combats actually seem to take longer in 4E than in 3.5. December 22, 2005. 8211; cre...

The Felling Blade: October 2013

Sunday, October 13, 2013. 13th Age: Character Creation and Initial Thoughts. I am GMing again, and yesterday evening was character creation for 13th Age. I'm excited about the potential, and I'm thrilled that my players, as they look at the system and the world are getting excited as well. My wife is working through the setting material and loved the bit about the Koru Behemeth migration pattern and how it trails across the entire map and then some. Right now the character list stands at the following:.

Saturday, November 23, 2013. 13th Age: Conclusion of the Case of the Missing Grimoires. Session 2, Mission 1: Case of the Missing Grimoires. Little directly occurred in the morning; however, Sarvag, Crito and Kinarao Epukena all managed to present compelling letters to force Antis to open the vault (i.e., they had sufficiently powerful patrons where it would be unwise to anger) - where the most sensitive of histories and stories, as well as the most powerful of grimoires. Even the Crusader's troops like ...

The Felling Blade: June 2014
http://thefellingblade.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 29, 2014. Reactions to Firefly the RPG. Mechanically, the system did everything I wanted the system to do. Generating the dice pools went fairly smoothly; though using the distinctions was a bit rough for the first hour or two, and didn't smooth down right away - the various abilities that the distinctions gave were used frequently, remembering that those distinctions also could give you a d8/d4 to your pool didn't go so well. And everyone at the table had their share of failures, but even w...
