Hakkenslash – Nice and Simple
Hakkenslash is a simple xd6 system created by fellow blogger +S.D. Houston. I’m still fiddling with the system and making character sand throwing them at the monsters provided in the release, but I can say that as it stands, this may replace my own modified S&W system for the game I play with the kids on […]
30 Day Challenge – Day 7 – The Flames of War
Can you hear the sound of drums, the slap of sword on board. the nay and nervous side-step of horses?

Quick Note – Another alternate magic system idea
Truly this one will be short as it is fresh in my mind and not played with, attempted or anything quite yet. As anyone who follows my blog knows I have always been rather unhappy with magic systems in the classical and d20 eras of Dungeons and Dragons and the related retro-clones. I hear good […]
30 Day Challenge – Day 6 – By the Power of …

Quick Note – Stunts an optional mechanic for your game
Back when I used to run D&D Encounters at my local (then local) game store I had an eight-year-old kid who was part of the “core group” (the people who showed up weekly). He was an imaginative kid, and loved to play rogues (I let my core group make their characters). He, however, always wanted […]
