The line has been crossed

 I hope all you fuckers enjoyed your Blue Sky.
It is coming.
You reap what you sow.

The right to free speech is a hill I will die upon.

Wyllow & Brannoc, session 0 (Arneson Gaming)

Playing around and doing some playtesting of the AG rules, whipped up (rather quickly) some basic fantasy types to go on a little adventure. I used some random tables I came up with to serve as a 'kit' to get a jump start on creating an interesting character and 'rolled' up two characters. I figure with this little bit of information I should be able to run a full game. Let's see how this goes...

Arneson Gaming, revisited?

Well, I have been rummaging around for about six months, trying out various things, new systems, anything to get my creative juices flowing again and I stumbled upon that little gem on my Google Drive that I wrote nearly a decade ago and, well, it sort of would not get out of my head. So, screw it, 

I am working on some more details, creating a phone version of the PDF for easy use while mobile. I am also thinking about some 'kits' for different genres of gaming such as fantasy, scifi, Gothic Noir, post-apoc, etc. Not sure yet, but we will see where this goes.

Halflings (ODD Race)

I discovered a handful of recent stripped down D&D hacks online this last week. One immediately jumped out at me, probably because of the old school aesthetics they used in its layout. I mean, look at it!

Now you are probably thinking, "Another D&D clone....ugh. Why???" Well, because we keep playing around with rules and ideas and this one has some interesting things that change it (some drastically) from what you think of when you think of D&D.  BUT first, I have to take care of one serious problem:

NO HALFLINGS!

Seriously, like wtf. So I wrote one up. Not sure if it balanced or anything but who cares. Games must include halflings for me to read/play. I am still reading through the rules but I am liking what I have read so far. Perhaps I will find the time to actually play a game!

Turand Kamlat Monastery

 

A return to form? I do not know, but I received a new Apple Pencil and wanted to give it a go so what better way than to draw a map. Last night I watched "Season of the Witch", not a fantastic film but somewhat fun and the end battle took place in a remote monastery so I think that subconsciously guided me on this one. 

The Moathaus

 

Been a loooooong time since I picked up my tablet and drew a map. I started working on this map well over a year ago. Today I replaced my Apple Pencil (likely stolen by goblins) Not finished but made a lot of progress over where I previously had stopped. It was based largely on a map I found somewhere on the internet and I just wanted to do my little spin on it in my usual style.

Anyone recognize this one? No-prizes if you can identify it!
