Avatar the Last Airbender Ultralite

Long ago the four nations lived in harmony... This image is all over the place and I can't find the artist... Play worlds, not rules. This is an Free Kriegsspiel Revolution game inspired by Jim Parkin's excellent Galaxy Away Far RPG for Star Wars. Notable features: Quick character gen - Roll 1d6 seven times. Done.Flexible … Continue reading Avatar the Last Airbender Ultralite →

Iterative Design

Shipwright. I’ll make it quick. I’ve made a few things. Some projects I’m proud of. Others are just projects I cringe to look back on. Here I’m going to talk process. I make games in Microsoft Word, because I’m a design punk, not because I’m scared of my purchase of Affinity Publisher that stalks my … Continue reading Iterative Design →

108 (d366) Fantasy Spells

For use with your Maze Rats games... Or any other d6-based fantasy game of your choice. No levels, (generally) totally diegetic. Here is the two page PDF. Here is the three page Word Doc (because Word is drunk). Stolen from Knave/Cairn and repurposed for d6-only games. All praise the almighty six-sided die! EDIT: Changed all … Continue reading 108 (d366) Fantasy Spells →

Stealing Seven Samurai

The village. Ross McConnell. Play worlds, not rules. This includes the worlds of movies. Anyways, I steal ideas from media recklessly. My media diet has to be good for something, right? I stole from Kurosawa for a World of Elements game that I ran. The Scenario Winter time. Bandit gang has stolen half of the … Continue reading Stealing Seven Samurai →

Playing with Youngers: Anachronism Stew

Honestly, Shipwright has SOOO many great pieces of art I could've chosen for this. What genre tropes are there to break when your younger players have no sense of genre? None. None tropes. It's like when you were young, playing with a Batman action figure and then some other kid brings a G.I. Joe. Or … Continue reading Playing with Youngers: Anachronism Stew →

Third Person Narration + Information

Dream on 'til your dreams come true... Shipwright. Last time, I talked about portraying NPCs and the world in the third person. Something like this: “The ranger moves to you table and whispers a rumor about the Iron Circle gathering forces just south of Harkenwold. They seem to expect some petty payment for their service … Continue reading Third Person Narration + Information →

First vs. Third person

His favorite pen. Shipwright. Not gonna lie, I’m a terrible actor. I’m just a total goofball playing a dorky game about pretend elves with my friends. So when a buddy of mine is leaning across the table all-serious-like to interrogate a murdering swashbuckling Captain Barbossa character that I’m portraying RIGHT AFTER he made a fart … Continue reading First vs. Third person →

Tabletop Rituals

Merrily, merrily, merrily. Shipwright. It’s the season of Advent. My brother, grandparents, and I have been doing Advent devotions after each dinner. We clear the table, dim the lights, and light the required candles in the required order. Then my grandfather reads the Word aloud. It’s a fun ritual. When I pointed out how much … Continue reading Tabletop Rituals →
