Future Gaming Ballistic Interviews shaping up

Bygamingballistic

I’ve got at least two interviews in the “scheduling and working out details” phase.

The first, which would hopefully occur in the next few days, is +Leonard Balsera , designer/writer of FATE Core and the +Dresden Files RPG among other things.

The second is +Kenneth Hite. We’re still working on scheduling due to a very busy convention schedule, but he’s definitely in!

If these excite you, as they do me – and you’re looking forward to transcripts as usual – this would be a good time to consider the Ballistic Interview Fund.

Based on an extensive debriefing that boiled down to five and a half operatives ripping the tech staff and Wayne Oliver (their patron) a new one, improvements were made to the existing armor availability.

Reloading Press: D&D conversions for more cartridges

Bygamingballistic

Just for fun, I used the Damage = 4 * Log5(Kinetic Energy) conversion on a longer list of cartridges than I provided here. As you can see, most weapons fit into a fairly small range of stats. The .22LR does about as much damage as a shortbow (between 1d6+3 and 1d6+4), where a 7.62 Battle…

Technical Grappling: The Basics

Bygamingballistic

Over on the SJG Forums, I had a very productive interchange with Gef, a poster who wanted to know more about how grappling works using Technical Grappling, and asked for an introductory paragraph something like this: Grappling generally consists of an attack to establish a hold (which need not be an actual grasp), with a…

Kickstarter: Dracula Dossier . . . backed

Bygamingballistic

You can’t really go wrong with backing one of Kenneth’s projects. Night’s Black Agents is a RPG about a team of guys with Jason Bourne’s skills doing battle against a Conspyramid of Vampires and their minions, lackeys, henchman, and stooges. Dracula Dossier, I believe, starts with the premise that Stoker’s Dracula is a freakin’ field…

Fun Friday Art courtesy of Christopher Rice

As +Christopher R. Rice is transcribing my interviews, he often freezes the video. Apparently this results in hilarity for him. Witness: This is a more or less correct impression, since there may or may not be something from Christopher’s Pyramid Write Club (We do not talk about Write Club) that someone did that borrows heavily from TG…
