Quick Note – Two Things
Been a quiet week over here at Genius Loci. The little guy broke his leg and Code Name: the Wife has been working crazy hours … so why it has been quiet on the blog life itself has been anything but. So, I wanted to say sorry for that and also say two other things: […]
Quick Note – Inspiration for a Weird Game
Just found this. There are apparently 54 episodes and it is really interesting. A lot of strange and interesting tales presented as announcements (don’t go near the dog park!), news stories and so on. I’ve already gain ed a few interesting ideas for my Basic Modern game from this and I can see others enjoying […]
Quick Note – The Strongest Kid in the West
Yesterday my 2-year-old son broke his leg, a spiral fracture to the right tibia to be exact. This was on a kiddy slide at a playground outside of a trail head. My son never cried more than for 20 seconds after it happened and then demanded to be put in his backpack and taken on […]
Quick Note – Hideout of the Wolf-Spider Clan
A new map I worked on today. Still getting the hang of this and I’m not too happy with the hand-drawn elements as I feel they’re poor in comparison to the likes of +Dyson Logos and +matt jackson. But practice, practice, practice. This map will most likely be the one used in my next One-Page Romp and will […]
Quick Note – Second Patreon act will be a little late
My next Patreon sponsored adventure, a One-Page Romp called “Trouble at Apegia Station” will be delayed a little as I recreate the entire publisher file … my son hit buttons, things disappeared. Luckly it is just the niceties and the text is still safe.
Quick Note – Let it Go! Let it … Pop up game?!
My daughter got the “Frozen Pop-up Magic” game for her 3rd birthday this past Saturday and we have since played it every day since. The game itself is very simple, a mixture of spinner movement and memory. The true awesome comes from the pieces (pre-painted nicely detailed miniatures of Elza, Anna and Olaf) and the […]
Quick Note – OSRToday confirms rumors of Goodman 5e
+OSRToday confirmed today that +Goodman Games will be releasing material for 5e starting with two adventures to be released at Gen Con. I’m excited to see what Goodman does with the 5e rules and feel as well as to see if, like Necromancer Games, they do this under the OGL or if they’ve secured the unannounced license for 5e. […]
Quick Note – One Bookshelf has crashed
I am assuming that the popularity of the Scion bundle over at Bundle of Holding has caused the one book shelf sites to be so overloaded with fresh downloads and traffic that they broke under the strain. This has happened before when BoH first started to work in conjunction with OBS on the distrubution of their […]
Quick Note – Feeling Guilty
In three days I am jobless, needless to say this will be something big and hard on my family as we adjust to a new life style while I look for new employment. In the mean time I intend to continue on with the blog and with Genius Loci games … I ask, if nothing […]
Quick Note – A New Map? Maybe
Been experimenting most of the day with the tutorial I posted earlier. I think I am starting to understand the missing pieces that were hanging me up. This is the closest thing I have to a success at the moment. This or (most likely) a more refined version will probably be used in the next […]
