The Head of Vecna. Sometimes amusement requires a little too much sacrifice. Saturday, February 21, 2009. If my wife and I ever do have children, I now know what to get for them. Links to this post. Thursday, February 19, 2009. The Day Everything Changed. February, 2009. That's going to go down in history as the month everything changed. Human rights in mind. Why would we want to place ourselves under their jurisdiction? What's the next big axe to hang over our necks? Not that we can do anything about it...

The Head of Vecna. Sometimes amusement requires a little too much sacrifice. Sunday, July 5, 2009. The Fourth World, For The Third Time. Today I learned that one of my original gaming group's old standbys, Earthdawn. Is going to be seeing a new edition. Mongoose Publishing, a British game company known primarily for producing D20 games based on properties such as Babylon 5. Will be producing Earthdawn Third Edition. But Mongoose seems to be doing well with the newest iteration of Traveller. Dead games wi...

The Head of Vecna. Sometimes amusement requires a little too much sacrifice. Wednesday, March 25, 2009. The 'Good' Old Days. I recently came into possession of a few PDF scans of the very first issues of Dragon Magazine. Back in the 1970s when it was known as The Dragon. On one hand, you've got interesting articles describing how to wargame the Battle of Five Armies from The Hobbit. And munches on a can of 'Tree Frog Beer'), and truly odd articles like "The Idiot Class", which describes an NPC that playe...

The Head of Vecna: The Un-Men

The Head of Vecna. Sometimes amusement requires a little too much sacrifice. Saturday, September 24, 2011. Ever read GURPS Fantasy II: The Mad Lands. Me, neither. I mean, I skimmed it once or twice when I saw it in the game store years ago, but it never grabbed me enough to buy it. Don't get me wrong, it could be pretty awesome, but I didn't have the opportunity to find out. Bearing that in mind, I jotted down a list of monsters like this, just to see what I could come up with:. 1e-worthy than others, bu...

The Head of Vecna. Sometimes amusement requires a little too much sacrifice. Monday, February 13, 2012. An Embarrassment of Riches, or, Who Blogged About A Lock-Picking System Using Playing Cards? Okay, this is driving me nuts. One of the mixed blessings of the OSR movement is that there are SO FRACKING MANY good gameblogs churning out interesting and useable information that a) reading them can seriously eat up my time much in the same way that Wikipedia can spark a Wiki-Walk. But I can't find which blo...

The Head of Vecna: April 2011
http://headofvecna.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
The Head of Vecna. Sometimes amusement requires a little too much sacrifice. Friday, April 8, 2011. While trying to figure out some character designs, I went through my bookmarks to call up the old HeroMachine 2.5 website, hoping to stir a bit of creativity and help me flesh some character design ideas I've been developing. Check it out here. Links to this post. Sunday, April 3, 2011. Six (Well, Seven) Angry Men. I finally got around to finishing the last drawing of the WWI soldiers from No Man's Land.

The Head of Vecna. Sometimes amusement requires a little too much sacrifice. Sunday, October 30, 2011. Save vs. Cholesterol. I am on a number of emailing lists, as I imagine most people are. One of them is a free newsletter from Spes Magna Games. Which features short articles on things you can use for your D&D 3.5/Pathfinder. So, in case you had a good game use for it - maybe a spell or magic item that rapidly ages a character, or a character who has been noted as being overweight - here's the D&D. Magaz...

The Head of Vecna. Sometimes amusement requires a little too much sacrifice. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Call of Cthulhu: The Great War. Partially at the insistence of Mr. Slusser (and partly due to my sentiment that I've been waiting until his children were old enough that they could entertain themselves so we could play a horror RPG again as we did Back In The Day), I've started to run a Call of Cthulhu. Investigators, but I've long has a document on my hard drive putting published and amateur CoC.

The Head of Vecna. Sometimes amusement requires a little too much sacrifice. Wednesday, September 17, 2008. Elminster's Law, or, The Law of DMPCs. May have just given a name to a well-known roleplaying phenomenon. I don't know if he actually invented it or heard it from someone else, but I only care that I can now refer to it by name:. The PCs' desire to kill an NPC is directly proportional to the DM's love of the character. Links to this post. Wednesday, September 10, 2008. The Forge of Fury. Now takes ...
