Everybody's Died
I'm working on a game about adventurers that meet in a tavern, only after the rest of their party has died. You'll tell your tales of woe, trying to get the tavern patrons to buy your drink for you. If you drink too much of the bad alcohol you might die at the end of the night! I'm basing the game a...

Re: What are you reading?
I just picked up my copy of Algorithms to Live By back up. It's not exactly an easy read but the information is really useful.

Re: MMP#369 – Come Aboard
I've always had a hard time with designing an onboarding system because none of the groups I've played with ever used published adventures and actively avoided pregens. It was almost to the point where we were allergic to any adventure or character info that was presented. I realize I have to be a s...

Re: The Game Master
I considered the term "character player" at one time but it seemed too derivative, it would also confuse the term player character. It's already easy to confuse player and character when speaking. I just resist the term protagonist because it isn't quite what the player is doing. Like a lo...
