Quick Note – Joy in a Flask
Remember how a few days ago I said that I needed to find a way to shut off my brain until I finished my backlog of projects … well that didn’t work. This is almost done actually, cover art and maps are all that is left and I should complete those over the next week. […]
Quick Note – More of a GPS than a Rail Road
Reading over Scourge of the Sword Coast and I’m a bit impressed with it so far. From things I had heard about the meta-event the adventures involved in the Sundering have been rather a rather tight rail road. I’m not really seeing that in this adventure so far. Yes the adventure does operate on a […]
Demon Hunters (1999)
Everyone is talking about Zombie Orpheus’s upcoming adaptation of Jack Chick’s “Dark Dungeon“. Hell, I’m one of them. However, with all this attention being thrown at the newest work of the people behind “The Gamers” another piece of exciting news has been completely overlooked! The streaming release of Dead Gentlemen’s fisrt (to my knowledge) affair […]
Quick Note – Was that a Backhanded Slap?
I had never of GAMA until I read Deyver’s post on the Dungeons & Dragons reveals that were present during the show. Being that I have never heard of it I decided to take a few minutes and research it. The first thing I found is that acronyms and Google do not always get along. […]
Quick Note – I liked Essentials
A little while ago I was reading an excellent post over at +charles atkins’ blog about the upcoming release of the various 5th edition/Next product line and how WotC is attempting to woe back older gamers by miming old releases and embracing the product’s history. Again an excellent article but … then there was this one […]
Quick Note – A sequel and an all new adventure
“Helena’s Gauntlet”, the Edge of Space adventure that I’ve been working on for the last several months is going well. While the Sword of Hathor the Confederation ship from “Horus Adrift” makes an appearance in “Helena’s Gauntlet” the crew and members of the that ship are not the focus of the adventure. However, I had […]
Quick Note – Health Management and Gambling in Eira
As progress on Eira continues I have been contemplating a slight but significant change to how I approach character creation, or to be more specific character health. When Eira was first conceived all classes used a single d6 with a positive or negative modifier for their health. Pixie Tricksters for instance were d6 – 2 […]
Quick Note – Late to the Party
Today I was informed that wonderful folks behind The Gamers series and Journey Quest are making a movie based on Jack Chick’s infamous Dark Dungeons comic. The film will be available later this year and will hopefully feature the excellent comedic timing and style of the earlier productions. I am greatly looking forward to this […]
Quick Notes – An observation on VTT gaming and another review!
Last night I had the distinct honor of being able to take part in a wonderful online gaming session run by +John Swan and put together by +peewee rota. It has been a long time since I’ve gamed with adults and even longer since I felt an personal connection to the people I was playing with online. […]
Genius Loci’s First “Vlog” The Pilgrims of Eira.
Finally picked up that video cam I was talking about … oh, 9 months ago. So here is the first of the Genius Loci Video Blog entries. I plan on doing 2 a month and will typically either talk about game development or reviewing something.
