Racial Languages
https://ttrpgs.com/post/racial_languages/
Published: October 15, 2024 00:00
I've heard a lot of scepticism about the standard fantasy notion of 'racial languages' - i.e. languages tied to a particular race. But since they're such a useful tool, I'd like to offer a different way to view them, and a different solution. I have a…

Published: September 14, 2024 00:00
Chekov's gun poses a real threat to some games. If a group playing Vampire: The Masquerade ('VtM') encounter a Ravnos, spinning illusions, and confusing mortals, then the next time they hear about unusual events, they will assume that the Ravnos did this.…
Having a Bash at Travel in BIND

They say you have to playtest, but they forget that I'm a lazy man, so when it came to travel rules, I didn't feel like simulating a bunch of journeys. So it's time to get the computer to do the work for me. Setup An encounter roll occurs every 1D6…
The Bluff System

Published: August 3, 2024 00:00
A random RPG mechanic popped fully-formed into my head, so now it will pop into yours. The player first states what the character will do: I cut the heads off three goblins. I stab him in the neck. ...and the opponent makes a counter-proposal. I…

A random idea for an RPG system popped fully into my head, so now it will pop into yours. The player first states what the character will do: I cut the heads off three goblins. I stab him in the neck. I shoulder-barge a bandit, and throw him into the…
Problem Player: An Apology
https://ttrpgs.com/post/problem_player/
Published: July 29, 2024 00:00
My character was an elvish paladin. Coming from the ancient world of A,D&D, with its racial alignments, I still thought of D&D elves as 'Chaotic Good'. The unusual image of a law-focussed elf made me wonder how someone would approach a law-abiding…
You are Strange

Fancy a game of football on Saturdays? I mean all Saturdays. Every one, for the next few months. We need you to join a pivotal part of the game. This is you. This is how you sound when you ask people to play D&D. You can't miss one game, or we'll have to…
World of Darkness Prompts

Published: July 1, 2024 00:00
It's hard to remember all those little things mid-game, so I'm thinking of making a LaTeX footnote for stories, which mentions a random very-normal-thing. Three young students, complaining about the mosquitoes. Retired accountant, walking his dog at 5am…
When Systems Matter

In some sense, you don't care about your washing machine. You have no clue where that powder comes from, or where those particles go after the wash. But you care a great deal when your washing machine breaks down. When to Blame the System When combat drags…
