Time to Turn Out the Lights
With two whole months passing without posting here, I have come to realise that I think this LJ page has run its course. Not that there has been any activity on my friends page either in that time TBH :)
With a new campaign starting up tomorrow and my decision not to post Actual Play Reports here, I doubt that I will be posting here anymore. -
Amethyst arrives for D&D5e
Over 5 years ago, I came across the setting Amethyst by Dias Ex Machina for D&D4e and spoke about it here: http://grandexperiment.livejournal.com/103300.html. Though I loved the setting, D&D4e's finely tuned system meant that it was not a great fit for me ultimately. As I said back ( Read more... ) -
[Godbound] Bond of Delchard - a sample scenario
Following my experiment with 1 Court and 1 Ruin for the Skyreach scenario, I had a go with a 2 Court scenario called Bond of Delchard ( Read more... ) -
[Far Away Land] 3, 2, 1, point!
I have been using a variant of the world creation system in the FAL Companion to great effect for younger players. I have coined it "3-2-1-point". Each step is done once by one player, before moving to the next step.
Step 1: Take 3 coins or chips and throw them on a blank piece of paper. Each forms a geographical area. This is the same as the ( Read more... ) -
Current RPG Projects
Without really trying my RPG calendar has filled up nicely with the following:
Mondays: I am continuing to play in Booby's Tyranny of Dragons for D&D, now into the second half. The GM has shown an interest in playing in one of the FFG Star Wars adventures once we are done.
Thursdays: Due to some anticipated changes, I am now running a short (12 ( Read more... ) -

Godbound (now in its final Beta 1.0 before the KS launches on 1 March - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4qCWY8UnLrcSUhNYkIwSjZGc00/view) has a great GM section that provides great advice and tools for the GM. Of particular interest to me were the ( Read more... ) -
Jacobi Silverheart in Godbound
I have been reading Sine Nomine's upcoming Godbound RPG and decided to make my my Lunar Exalted PC. Beast doesn't quite deal with Lunar's transformation but its so close that I am happy with how he turned out.

Kapcon 2016 Report
I attended Kapcon 2016 in the weekend. Though the energy seemed more subdued than normal, it was a good Con. The energy (though lower) felt more focussed, it ran smoothly, and I was really happy to see people acknowledging and enjoying the long-lived social aspects of the Con (no doubt enhanced by the disappearance of the mid year Cons ( Read more... ) -
[Shadow of the Demon Lord] Character Sheets
I have finished the PC Sheets for my SotDL game at Kapcon. I must say that they are some of the most evocative I have come across, with its use of white space and the ritual circles, whilst also being mechanically rigourous and complete.

[Shadow of the Demon Lord] My first pregens
I made my first set of six 4th level pregens for my upcoming Con game, Measure of Faith, and I went with rolling almost everything randomly outside of the main choices. These are a group of badass witch hunters, who are on the periphery of the Cult of the New God.
This is what I got:
