RPGaDay 2015: Day 12

Favorite RPG illustration.

This one is really hard, there are so many great illustrations in RPGs. There are also so many not-so-great illustrations that were the inspiration for memorable campaigns and characters from my youth. I am going to have to go with the cover of the very first gaming product I ever owned, Tolkien Quest: Night of the Nazgul.

You make think this is a cheat since this is a solo game book and not an RPG, but I bought this book because of this cover without even knowing what a game book really was. I wore this book and a few others in this line out, and then I used the rules from them to make up adventures for my friends to play. Eventually we started to question what this MERP thing was the book talked about and discovered that someone had already made a game that let you make up your own adventures. After failing to figure out MERP, we moved on to D&D.

Traveller : Session 53

This session was run on January 18, 2024. 220-1118 In the morning, they decided to take the Gerald Masters interview job. Marvin was still too hung over from the night before and had to beg off for the day. They spread out through the station looking for prospective interviewees. Simmi was fairly successful, finding three people willing to be interviewed.

Aryanna found two people willing to be interviewed, both of which seemed resentful of the large numbers of Navy personnel wandering around the station. M'han was unable to find anyone who would let him interview them. Zarf attempted to interview a few men in a bar and almost caused a fight because he was asking too many questions. Another patron stepped in at the last minute and started talking about the ...

Wilderlands: Dabber

Below is my adaptation of the Dabber race from Gamma World for my Castles & Crusades Wilderlands game. I believe that the picture is from the Alternity version of Gamma World. This adaptation has not been subjected to any significant playtesting yet.

Harn: AW Session Recap

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of being a player in a one-shot set in Harn's Orbaal region using the Apocalypse World rules. While I have been reading up on Harn for a while, this was my first chance to actually participate in a game set on Harn. I have never played core Apocalypse World before, but I have run Dungeon World several times, so I was familiar with the basic rules concepts. The characters were: Taebaal: the Valkhar Bjaal: One of Taebaal's trusted men Molvid: An extremely mercenary viking (Me) Waede: A Jorin rebel against the Ivinian occupiers Fester: A healer Mycroft: An orphan who seems connected to Waede Molvid's adventure started while out on a boar hunt with Taebaal and Bjaal. While walking in the woods, he came across Waede, Fester, and Mycroft standing over a dead body laying in the snow. They were armed and there was a crate of swords next to the body. When questioned, they told Molvid that the dead man had jumped them and that the c...
