Sometimes, I write some fanfiction style takes for games or movies that could be made. These have nothing to do with RPGs, but since it’s my site, I get to do that sort of thing. I’ve done plans for a DCEU a couple of times now (every time they make new announcements that still soundContinue reading “DCEU: Rebooted”

Tarrasque: Revisited
The tarrasque is the iconic campaign ending D&D monster. It’s almost a joke or a meme at this point, where the tarrasque is a “and then everyone died” punchline. It’s often the first big monster that new players find that gets them excited about one day fighting this gigantic kaiju. This is pretty ironic, sinceContinue reading “Tarrasque: Revisited”
Necroblade: 5e Item
The Necro Sword came to me while I was building characters for a new campaign. I kept building variations on hexblades, and or taking a dip in hexblade, and for whatever reason couldn’t get myself to build anything but a hexblade. So, play a hexblade you say? I can’t always play a hexblade, and besides,Continue reading “Necroblade: 5e Item”
Orbital Blues: Review
I know I mention every now and again buying a book based on art and assuming it will be good, but truth is, I can usually guess what mechanics the game will use, and how much Ill like it, so I know the art buy is a safe guess. Orbital Blues is the exception toContinue reading “Orbital Blues: Review”
Ozaka’s Guide to Legions: Review
Ozaka’s Guide to Legions is the tenth of Chamomile’s guides to everything. I have high hopes for this one for a lot of reasons. Chief among them, I played the titular Ozaka in a campaign. Secondly, and probably more importantly, its focus is around things I’m obviously interested in, “Big” races, skirmish battles, cohorts andContinue reading “Ozaka’s Guide to Legions: Review”
Oath of Beauty Paladin
Tenants of Beauty Beauty is Power: Let your smile be your sword. Confidence is Key: You define beauty, and let it bring you joy. Enhance What you Have: Be grateful for your gifts, and do not dwell on what you lack. Form And Function: There is power in ascetics. Do not be satisfied with theContinue reading “Oath of Beauty Paladin”
SR-16 Retrospective on Indie Games
SR-16, author of previously reviewed Space Street, reached out to me a little bit ago with an essay they put together analyzing a trend in indie RPGs on Itch. They focus on one of their games that followed it, where it went wrong, and another similar game that did it right (by someone else). WhileContinue reading “SR-16 Retrospective on Indie Games”
Astrogate: Saga
I was digging through my old Star Wars Saga Edition notes for a potential new game and found my old astrogate rules. The existing rules are relatively simple, but don’t give a satisfying outcome. You always get where you need to go in 1d6*X Days. Travel distances don’t really matter, and your spaceship feels moreContinue reading “Astrogate: Saga”
Wizard: Revisited
In the Class: Revisited series, I’ll be posting some simple revisions to the various classes based on experiences with my group, and those I’ve talked with. We won’t hit all 13 classes, as some are fine, and some I don’t have a good answer for, but in general these are some suggested changes that shouldContinue reading “Wizard: Revisited”
