Went looking for a blend of tactical crunch and narrative flow… Reddit handed me a philosophy knife fight. New blog post up, me vs my engineer brain and the ghost of a feeling I keep chasing. #ttrpg, #blog, #gamedesign, #gamedev

So, writing #RottedTropicz (a #RottedCapes campaign), while making maps & postcards from public photos (tweaked colors to look more "90's"). Might even drive down to the Keys to take my own photos.

Controlled Chaos, Part 2 Campaign Notes (building your pantry) - Part 1, we gave you some tools, now we start putting stuff together.
Controlled Chaos, Part 2 Campaign Notes (building your pantry)
Part 1 landed. Cool. Now we stock the pantry, so sessions never starve. Build these shelves once, keep them fresh, and your Session Notes become “point and go.” Factions, faces, places, threats, toys, ready to grab mid-scene without killing the music. Here’s the exact framework and where I keep it on my PC. Campaign Notes are your pantry. Session Notes&hellip;

Nice #rottedcapes call out, thanks!!
Marvel just released a new Tony’s Workshop with experimental rules for Verbal Combat, Animals and… Zombies!

Too much stuff to squeeze into one video, so we’ll focus on Zombies today, doing a deep dive on the new rules, and much, much more! Happy Halloween!

Horror is one of the oldest roleplaying game genres. Spearheaded by the success of the Call of Cthulhu game, it’s been a steady presence in the hobby for a long time. But, as with all things, people try to bandwagon it and put horror into games where the mechanics aren’t necessarily the strongest to support it. Fortunately, there are some workarounds we can use as GMs.
