Let's get to it: My name's Thomas and I will soon be running Skorne on Roll20 as theater of the mind. Very soon in fact: in three days! While I am excited to run combat without dice rolls, I am wondering how combat maneuvers will work and I am hoping that you can give me … Continue reading Ask the Dragonslayer #3: Diceless Maneuvers in Skorne
"Renegade Edgelord" is my vanity license plate. Skorne, upon both release and remaster, did not include a character sheet. Something it shares in common with other ultralight/FKR games. That has changed. From the itch page: KILLER FEATURES Helper text below each section to minimize book flipping while creating a new Renegade. HIT COUNTER on the … Continue reading Skorne Character Record Sheet
1998, no other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6yYi16iuYY This mood music slaps. This heroine is my all-time favorite. She's passionate, loyal, and clever. For her excellent problem-solving skills and aspirational character, I crown her queen of the OSR. If you need a plot refresher: There are five reasons I dub Mulan thus: 1: Choosing one, not chosen one The … Continue reading Mulan, OSR Queen

Here is my table of media influences. So, it's not just movies, but shows and books and what have … Continue reading Appendix N – d666 Media Influences
Got the Mausritter boxed set from Games Omnivorous. It was so good I ordered the adventure boxed set too. Reading some of Chris McDowall's Mythic/Primeval Bastionland playtest inspired a greater reliance on hexcrawling and procedural systems (something none of us can keep our mouths shut about around here it seems). Anyway, here are some changes … Continue reading Mausritter Procedure House Rules
As Space Bounty Blues is to Cowboy Bebop, this (untitled) game would be to Scooby-Doo. It's GMless PbtA. Start with the end in mind: I thought of the final move first. When you unmask the monster, the gang makes one guess who the culprit is and roll + Clues.On a 10+, you got it right! … Continue reading Scooby-Doo: Unmasking the Culprit
Shipwright This is the tale of a hero boldWho lived by the sea in days of oldEach night he stood upon the shoreAnd watched until his eyes were soreThe setting Sun o’er the endless blueToward which his dreams unbounded flewFor if the boy could have his wayA sailor would he be some day But poor … Continue reading The Ballad of Titanius McKracken

The title comes from these … Continue reading Never Split the Difference
