I've been working on an entry for the TroikaFest! 2021 Game Jam over on itch.io. I've decided to expand on Bad Barsoom, a micro-setting I created for a previous Troika! game jam. It's set on the Mars or (Barsoom) of Edgar Rice Burroughs. I've decided that during the mid-twentieth century, long past the time of … Continue reading WIP: Barsoom 1960 – Cold War on a Red Planet for Troika!
So there's a game jam over on itch called The End is Near: It's the Mörk Borg 24 Hour Misery Jam. The entrants were given a prompt, specifically one of the many prophecies from the Mörk Borg rule book. The designers are given 24 hours to create an adventure or supplement based on the selected … Continue reading Cultus Incendium – an apocalyptic cult for Mörk Borg
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 never been a huge megadungeon guy. Spending an entire campaign just clearing rooms and collecting treasure wasn't something I was particularly interested in. (No judgement on people who enjoy it) But the itch.io Megadungeon Jam has got me reconsidering the megadungeon, and how I might run one. It's a one-year jam to encourage people … Continue reading Denizens: Some initial thoughts on a Megadungeon
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
I've made a last-minute entry in the Great Troika Pocket Sphere Jam, a game jam over on itch.io in which designers make a small Troika! setting that will fit into a PocketMod - small booklet folded from a single piece of paper. My entry is called Bad Barsoom Bad Barsoom on itch.io My initial idea … Continue reading Bad Barsoom: a micro-setting for Troika
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
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
