Tricube Tales Character Cards II


...and because I cannot leave well enough alone, I redid these as 3x5 cards for Tricube Tales! I think I prefer these over the larger cards. I think it would be great to have a whole party printed out on these little cards.

Tricube Tales Character Cards


I recently discovered Tricbue Tales and I have to say I am really quite impressed. Yes, it is rules lite and yet still can provide a wide depth of play and can seemingly handle nearly ANY genre. Don't believe me? Head over to the creator's site (link below) and find the links of the right side. The first 3 are links to rules, the rest? Settings. SETTINGS!  Want to play errand running trolls in dirigibles? Robbers in Sherwood? Interstellar smugglers? Jedis? Gangbusters? Stranger Things? Werewolves? Ghostbusters? Firefighters? Pirates? Weird West defenders? Each of these little settings are great springboards from which you could launch into a campaign for a creative DM. 

Anyway, I am planning trying to squeeze in some sessions, and you know me, I cannot leave well enough alone, so I made a character card to use in the game....

The game on DriveThru:

I think I understand why I might like this game (beyond the actual rules I mean), this guy looks like he started with Savage Worlds, which used to be one of my favorite systems. Creators site:

UPDATE: Character Cards now available on itch!

The Fool's Game

A dumb idea I had to get out of my head. Have a great weekend all!

Roll dice. Kill Monsters.

I posted this nearly a decade ago, but I thought it made sense still to this day, so I reposted it.

Blaster & Hardpack: FKR scifi

My buddy James released his Sword & Backpack: Reforged yesterday and I decided I was happy enough with scifi hack to go ahead and release it. This is my attempt to make a rules-lite, FKR scifi game with just enough meat that you could play out whatevercomestoyourmindversion of scifi. 

Check out James' awesome game that inspired mine:

Mine holds very close to his but adds more scifi elements to the game and some kickass amazeballs artwork. ;-) It is also free, so take a gander and let me know what you think:

Mydwandr Monday update

 

Still working on this, but getting closer. Need to tweak a few things, figure out those shields at the bottom and work on the background area a little more...but very close!

Yep, I do draw maps

I know some of you have started to wonder, but yes, I still do occasionally draw maps. I recently reread Olde House Rules' Mydwander (thanks to my pal James bringing it up in a discussion) and it really got me interested in the game.

Wouldn't you know it, I like pretty things, specifically pretty things I make, so I decided I wanted to redo the setting map. Nothing wrong with OHR's version, I just want to make a big ass, scalable, and detailed map because I want to use it in a solo game using the system. Just started last night but I have converted everything over to vectors and have a basic layout for what I want the final version to look like (for now, likely to change some).

Current state

May she forever fly

 

I am fortunate to have been born in the best country on the planet and happy to have served my fellow citizens. May we forever be a beacon of liberty and hope on this blue ball circling the sun.


Update: Wow, the negative and hateful comments I have received for this post are simply shocking. This post is simply celebrating the fact that our country is amazing and a beacon of freedom and liberty. As comments on my blog are moderated, you won't see these comments because this is my blog and I won't condone your silliness. Go pet a puppy or something. Y'all need to get a grip.

Monster Blood Tattoo

 

I do not know if I have ever supported a Kickstarter here on the blog but I cannot pass this one up. I read these books when they came out and somehow these floated under the radar of everyone I knew. This is a fantastically unique world, so very much unlike anything I have ever encountered in my fantasy reading. Sadly, they went out of print years ago but through this kickstarter, an American company is trying to bring them back to life. I am in for print and the epub. The setting and worldbuilding D.M. Cornish creates is fascinating, unique, detailed and complex, and a breath of fresh air in a genre that is full of secret princes, orcs and elves, and abundant Tolkienisms. 

Help this one come to life!
