Ran my first one-shot of Vaults of Vaarn, the OSR science fantasy RPG zine. It's set in a far future wasteland Earth, littered with the technological remains of advanced super-civilizations, under a dying red sun. It's very much in the tradition of the Dying Earth sub-genre. It's sort of Numenera mixed with Gamma World. It … Continue reading Vaults of Vaarn – Fillable Character Sheet & Pregens
I've been posting a lot of character sheets on this blog, and will mostly likely continue to do so. I've decided it would probably be useful if I bundled up some of the old ones and posted them somewhere a little more convenient for people to download. So I've taken eleven of the custom sheets … Continue reading Dead Sheets, New Games: My new bundle on itch.io
As discussed in a previous post, I've been tinkering with creating a character sheet for Electric Bastionland. Here's the completed version of it (for now) I went for a Art Nouveau look, with autumnal colors. I've made both US Letter and A4 versions and added them to my ever-growing list of character sheets. eb_charsheet_letterDownload eb_charsheet_a4Download
I just got the print version of Electric Bastionland, the OSR Into The Odd influenced citycrawl game by Chris McDowall. As I'm prone to do, my first thought was to create my own custom character sheet for it. It's still a work in progress, but here's what I have so far: The city of Bastion … Continue reading WIP: Electric Bastionland Character Sheet
K.A.B.A.L., or Knights and Berserkers and Legendermain was a fantasy RPG by Ernest T. Hams, that was published in 1980, with a second edition in 1982. It wasn't terribly successful, and is no longer in print. No legal PDF versions of this game were ever released. The few reviews that existed were quite poor. Here's … Continue reading K.A.B.A.L – a character sheet for another long dead RPG
I recently posted a character sheet for the High Seas Hack – the Black Hack-based OSR RPG set during the golden age of piracy. The High Seas Hack treats sailing ships almost as characters, with their own hit points and stats. To match the character sheet I made, I've also made a High Seas Hack … Continue reading Ship record sheet for the High Seas Hack – an OSR pirate RPG
DoubleZero from Dancing Lights Press is a RPG designed to replicate modern action/spy/thriller movies. It's heavily inspired by the old James Bond RPG from the 1980s, but uses its own streamlined percentile based system. If you're looking for an exact retro-clone of the James Bond game, try Classified. The basic mechanic is super-simple: Every action … Continue reading DoubleZero: Character Sheet for a Modern Action/Espionage RPG
I was planning on running a quick one-shot of the High Seas Hack - the Black Hack-based OSR RPG set during the golden age of piracy. The character sheet that comes with it is a little plain, so I've made a full page fillable character sheet. It's based on the sheet I did for another … Continue reading Character sheet for the High Seas Hack – an OSR pirate RPG
As I posted previously, I've been working on a character sheet for the Cthulhu Hack designed to be used with any Cthulhu Dark Ages scenarios. Here's what I have so far. It's fillable. NOTE: Flashlights/Smokes has been renamed Reason/Passion. They are mechanically identical. I just changed the names to match the setting. cthulhuhack_charsheet_darkagesDownload Eventually, when … Continue reading Character Sheet and Woodsman Class for the Cthulhu Hack – Dark Ages Style
I'm still continuing work on my Dark Sun conversion and by Shabby Land zine, but I like to take the occasional break to quickly create something small and simple. I recently picked up Chaosium's Cthulhu Dark Ages, the medieval sourcebook for Call of Cthulhu. It's great book, but when I run Lovecraftian games, I prefer … Continue reading Notes on an upcoming new character sheet for the Cthulhu Hack
