Quick Note – Adventures in the East Mark Released
With everyone else talking about Dungeons & Dragons released release schedule it seems that X-tra Dimensional’s release of the Adventures in the East Mark Red Box has been largely ignored. The pdf of the the Red Box is now available over at drivethrurpg and I’m pretty sure the physical box will be available soon. It […]
Quick Note – The Many Projects of Genius Loci Games
Last night on a whim I started something … again, and so I am updating everyone out there on where we stand with the various projects: Lights over Innsfjord – Alpha version mostly written, revising the cells and temple to better reflect what I wanted to do with this adventure. Miracle of Science – Mostly […]
Basic Modern – Magic Users
Yeah, couldn’t help myself. Enjoy! Council Mage You grew up on the streets and learned to take care of yourself by beating those who would have hurt you into the ground. You may not like what the street has made you, but you use it to your advantage and maybe to the advantage of others. […]
Basic Modern – The Solider & The Street Fighter
Been thinking again recently of using the Basic ruleset or S&W as a core to a modern-themed setting/ruleset. Typically modern games (like d20 Modern, Modern Paths, etc) have a near classless system and instead have things like a singular or dual type class like strong/charismatic. I think that maybe with the right type of Modern […]
Quick Review – Murderhobos
Murderhobos was released yesterday as a pay what you want product on Drivethrurpg. It is a 6-page extremely low rule game system. The game essentially boils down a roleplaying game into its core component (in the writer of Murderhobos that is combat) and leaves everything else from monster creation to world building to the Game […]
One Year Later
A year ago today I started the Genius Loci Blog; what a year. In a year I met, both on and off line, some fantastic people because of this blog, have started friendships with men and women across the spectrum and have weather many a storm. Thanks you, to the 22 who follow this blog. […]
Quick Note – Tabletop Connect Map Editor video
I backed and have been a huge supporter of Tabletop Connect since I first heard about from I believe +Moe Tousignant. Recently the map editor was made available for the beta testers and I must say it is quite awesome. I suck at it, but it is quite awesome. It reminds me of an easier version […]
Quick Note – Good Mail Day
Came home to find these in the mail: Lot of stuff to read today, lot of good stuff. Thanks to +Reid San Filippo and +Tim Shorts!
Overly Simplistic Mass combat Rules for OSR settings
I was listening to Save or Die episode 76 recently and now must throw my ideas for mass combat at everyone. I do apologize in advance for these rather simplistic and not all encompassing rules. Individual – 1 person Squad – 4 to 8 individuals Platoon – 2 to 4 squads Company – 2 to […]
Quick Note – Currently on Last Hope
The last time I spoke about the play-by-post game I’m involved in over at roleplayinggames.net the cast was in the midst of an out of control decent to an alien world. Only the small, recently awoken crew of Last Hope stood between life and death from the remaining humans in the universe … they crashed […]
