The King of Dungeons is my new fantasy RPG that puts the role of the adventuring party front and centre. It went to Kickstarter today and funded in 13 minutes. As I type it’s at 500% of its goal. The King of DungeonsA tabletop RPG about fantastic shenanigans. www.kickstarter.com It’s a...

Howdy. It’s taken us nearly 70 episodes but we finally got round to our D&D 5e episode. If you wanna hear a Brit take on the old warhorse, point yourself here and enjoy https://smartparty.wordpress.com/2018/03/20/1181/

Honestly, sometimes my game design looks like it's not really design at all. It's more a remix of classic ingredients; an RPG compilation album of greatest hits. On a mechanical level, you can see the lineage though on a surface level, you might need to squint a bit. For me, game mechanics are...

Being a gamer used to be so simple. Designers designed. Publishers published. Stores stocked and we played. With the advent of cheap technology, those boundaries have blurred. Now I can design games from the comfort of my own armchair. I could even write it on my phone and upload it tonight...

Hmmm. Works for me... Sorry! Try here: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/5880/Grand-Scheme-Publishing

Hi, I've just started putting some of my work up on DriveThru. I've been published under other guises in the past, but this is my own thing. Early days yet, but I'd be grateful if you could drop by, check 'em out, and tell me what you think! So far, both on Pay What You Want, a chatty guide to...

Thanks for highlighting my review. Glad you think it's balanced. I've done the first seven parts of the mod now. Just the last one to go. Summary? It gets better, but the editor was still asleep on the job.

Sorry, it was truncated in the original post... http://rpgtreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/knee-deep.pdf Try this!

I almost exclusively run published adventures. For years I've thought about doing my own, but I always want to write them out in full, with maps, art etc. I get all itchy palmed about the idea of putting something strictly amateur out there. But then I decided to man up. I've just put out an...

I love this game. Been playing it over Hangouts recently and getting great responses. The clever bit about the level 0 pcs is that the funnel system replaces the building game in other d20 games. Instead of picking and choosing, you go with chance and its survival of the fittest. Also, your...

I like adventures. I couldn't find many that suited my personal style, so, inspired by 13th Age, I wrote one. It's called "Up to Our Necks in the Knee Deep". It's an adventure supplement for 13th Age. To be honest, I think it's worth checking out no matter what your favourite fantasy game or...

I really like Souls for Smugglers Shiv, the first installment of the Serpents Skull AP. it's self contained and a little jewel of a sandbox. Cross Lost with Isle of Dread and you're about right. I ran it in 4e if that matters.

Mines ace. See sig.

Everything. I'm not pissing about here you know. ;) Heroes of the Feywild was really strong, but the best of recent releases has to be Mordenkainans ME. Useful, and full of flavour. Couldn't ask for more.

Ask the question, what would you be trying to achieve by playing E only? I suggest that the answer to that question is perfectly achievable while still including the whole game.

Heroes of the Underdark. Heroes of the 5 Nations Heroes of Xen'drik Heroes of the Undersea

Thanks for the article mate. I used a couple of these in my game last week, to represent Yellow Musk monsters actually. They worked a treat.

There's a fantastic book: Adventurers Guide to Eberron (I think?) that you can pick up for next to nothing on eBay. It's very slim and 90% art. On release the pricing was absurd for what was basically a hardbound advert. Now, it's a perfect steal. Slap that down on the table, let your players...

My only real experience of Bruce's work has been for 4e. His adventures are... poor. Nightwyrm Fortress? Prince of Undeath? And it wasn't the format that made those modules as bad as they are.

The question is, how am I not going to work this in! I'm loving this book. The adventures practically write themselves. It's a sandbox in a book, a sand book if you will.
