Federation-Apocalypse Session 180b – The Convoy

Posted on September 18, 2011 by Thoth

It wasn’t easy to get out of view of the port on a flat world – – you had to get far enough out that atmospheric hazing did the job for you – but a few patches of mist helped. Come to think of it, that meant that – at least on the open sea [...]

- the trapmonkey cleric: basing perception checks on wisdom from Blog of Holding May 30, 2012
  5e says that it is going to make attributes more important than skills: if you want to open a door, you roll your Strength. If you want to notice something, you roll your Wisdom. This really highlights the fact that Perception has been a problem since early D&D, when it was briefly its own... [...]

- Playing Drow Part 2 – Know Where You Came From from Dungeon's Master May 30, 2012
  One of the toughest parts of role-playing a non-human character is to give that PC a distinct cultural identity. We often play ever character of every race as if they were born and raised in the Human world. For many races this isn’t a big deal because their societies will parallel Humans’ in many... [...]

- Cityographer Sample Maps from 2nd Streetgen Algorithm from Inkwell Ideas May 30, 2012
  I’ve got a second city street generation algorithm looking good. It creates a more randomly laid out city. (Still have lots of work to do: another algorithm, adding random rivers, a possible harbor, city walls, and a bunch more.) But hopefully everyone can see the potential! (If you haven’t... [...]

  This past Friday I was looking at my Drivethrurpg wish list and they were having a "wish list sale". Since the sale was going to end soon (it's already ended) I went ahead and did an order. One of those items was for the print version of Zombacalypse for Savage Worlds by Silver Gryphon... [...]

- The Gassy Gnoll: Random, Deep, Spacey Thoughts from Game Knight Reviews May 30, 2012
  That’s right, the Gnoll is going random on your… web page. Blame it on too much sun, not enough sleep, and a dream where gnolls are playing soccer something similar to Michael J. Fox in Teen Wolf. Obviously I picked the wrong week to cut back on caffeine. With SPACEX not only... [...]

- Telling a Story From Multiple Viewpoints from Exchange of Realities May 30, 2012
  There are some stories that just can’t be told from one perspective—there’s too much going on, and no way the main character can be there to see all of it. That’s where multiple viewpoints come in—and where things start to get a little complicated. The first thing to think about... [...]

- Trapsmith: Stunning Switch from Kobold Quarterly May 30, 2012
  Tomb robbers bring friends or associates with them to help haul away the treasure that they seek. There is safety in numbers, but it also introduces certain group dynamics—exploitable group dynamics such as friendship, caring, trust, and a variety of other deadly virtues. You are on the southern... [...]
