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.
Quick Note – Breaking the Silence
My apologizes to everyone for once more going silent. My daughter’s birthday was last week and that means out of state family paying us a visit for a prolonged period. However, while I was unable to update the blog I was able to continue with my other projects thanks to the awesomeness that is the […]
Quick Note on Faith and Dungeons & Dragons
While doing asearch to see if I could find any listing for pre-sales of Next I came across “A Christian Response to Dungeons and Dragons” a book written in the 80s that follows the stereotypical line of Dungeons and Dragons being a gateway drug to EVIL. Now, I’ve never been the best Christian … far […]
By Request – The Mapmaker’s Apprentice A Creature for OSR
As promised +Shane Ward I created a monster! Mapmaker’s Apprentice, The “You wish to be my Apprentice? What fool are you to wish such a death? Are you mad? Have you been cavorting with the Darkness of the Un-Sidhe? Well, come young fool let us see how long you may live in my tutelage”. Type: […]
Quick Note – Should Life Affect Rolls?
There is a concept in Swords and Wizardry known as morale in which any creature with a brain will retreat from a battle when they become to scared or do not see the odds in their favor. I typically do this VIA a saving throw +HD. For the most part this works well, however, we […]

Quick Note – Cheat and still Dyson up those maps
This is a tempting little piece of tech for all of us who are middling at best in our ability to draw hand drawn maps. Map Hash Pattern for GIMP by Morgajel over at RPGnow as a Pay-What-You-Want title. while not my cup of tea (I’ve come to enjoy the zen of drawing my little […]
Quick Note – Before the Internet …
As I’ve said in a few challenge posts that I have made in the past, I did not actually start roleplaying or having an understanding of roleplaying until I was in my twenties (22 to be exact!). That being said I missed the whole play-by-mail thing by a mile. By the time gaming entered my […]
Game Geeks – Your Mission if you Choose to Accept it …
Game Geeks wasn’t able to do a review this week (A shame since he was starting to pick back up again after a few years of very few reviews) but they did instead give us, the Community, homework. And honestly it is some homework that I have been wondering about myself of late to ask […]
Quick Note – Moving Forward & another movie!
With March quickly approaching I find myself choking under the self imposed deadline of “Lights over Innsfjord”. Again I wonder if I have bitten off more than I can chew, especially after the moderate (by my middling standards at least) of both “The Nest” and “Under the Horn” (which now has 2 4-5 star reviews […]
