Welcome to (unofficial) Summer! It’s the first day of the work week, my brain doesn’t want to wake up, and I came down to a full sink of dishes before coffee. I’m both groggy and cranky, and these are random TTRPG thoughts.
- I’m going to run a test of Forbidden Lands this Wednesday. So that’ll be interesting.
- I need to try out FantasyAGE at some point.
- I got to play a hacked version of Marvel Super Heroes RPG this weekend. It was my second time running The Bolt and I enjoy this character a lot. He’s…quirky.
- I pulled out an old Wonderdraft map yesterday and reworked a number of elements. It should be an interesting world to play in, if I get the chance to develop anything.
- More and more I’m coming to like games with simple mechanics that get out of the way of game play.
- I created a Savage Worlds character last week and recorded the process. It’ll be my video on the DM Tales YouTube channel this week.
- Part One of my Forbidden Lands written review will be posted to the site later this week. I need to do some more editing first. It’ll become the bulk of my video review on the game.
- I created a new tee-shirt design last week, I’m rather fond of it.
- Last week I helped a friend make up his first character so he can join our Numenera campaign. He’s been doing research on the system since then and that makes me happy.
- I’m going to put together a Dragonbane table so my youngest can play with other folks more often.
