This Vision of Darkness – FAE Part 3

My new superhero adventure for Fate Accelerated Edition is now available on DriveThruRPG and RPGNow! It’s a 58-page exciting and epic adventure for newly-created superheroes that takes them into a dark future to fight a cybernetic super-villain who has conquered North America. The adventure is available for $4.99 and I think it’s a great wayContinueContinue reading “This Vision of Darkness – FAE Part 3”

Fate Accelerated Edition Supers – Part 2

This month, I’m writing a superhero adventure for Fate Accelerated Edition (FAE) titled This Vision of Darkness. I originally had the idea back when Mutants & Masterminds 2nd Edition came out, but I never ended up publishing it for that system. But now, I’m going to make it available under the Fate Open Gaming License. LastContinueContinue reading “Fate Accelerated Edition Supers – Part 2”

Fate Accelerated Edition Supers – Part 1

I originally stumbled across the Fate RPG back when it was an acronym that stood for “Fantastic Adventures in Tabletop Entertainment.” It’s a great game, and later iterations only got better. And while Fate Core is wonderful, Fate Accelerated Edition (FAE) is even better. It boils down what I want in a game to itsContinueContinue reading “Fate Accelerated Edition Supers – Part 1”

Draconem Sub-Sector Complete

The final dowloadable PDF for the Draconem sub-sector is now finished! All 40 world descriptions, plus multiple adventure hooks for each, plus a color star-map, plus all the relevant notes from these blog posts, all in one document.

Traveller – The Draconem Subsector

Last week, I decided to create a sub-sector using just the original Traveller little black books from the original 1977 edition of the game. Again, I want to link to this amazing series of blog posts by Christopher Kubasik where he examines how differently the game plays when one understands and embraces the intent ofContinueContinue reading “Traveller – The Draconem Subsector”

Gaming Material – Traveller

I’ve reached a point where I want to make a bit of a change to the material that I’m posting on the blog. Gaming, particularly RPG gaming, is a huge part of my life. While I love writing novels and short stories, I also love to create materials for my favorite RPG games. So I’mContinueContinue reading “Gaming Material – Traveller”

Talislanta: The Savage Land…still no elves!

  Back at the beginning of 1987, a small company named Bard Games released a very cool new roleplaying game called Talislanta. Ads in Dragon Magazine loudly proclaimed “no elves…” and explained that it was for people “tired of ‘look-alike’ fantasy games.”   The world of Talislanta was densely populated with alien cultures, strange races,ContinueContinue reading “Talislanta: The Savage Land…still no elves!”

The One Ring is a Work of Art

No one can deny the influence that J.R.R. Tolkien has had on the fantasy genre. Many of the elements from his books have become genre tropes that dominated novels for decades. There are countless books that include Tolkien versions of elves, dwarves, and hobbits (though they might be called halflings, or little people, or someContinueContinue reading “The One Ring is a Work of Art”

Jason Bourne versus…Vampires?!?

  I’m not afraid to admit that I have a problem. I buy more role-playing game books than I will ever have time to play, despite my sincere desire to do so. There are whole lines of games that I absolutely love, and for which I have purchased all (or at least the vast majority)ContinueContinue reading “Jason Bourne versus…Vampires?!?”
