Um, wow. And thanks!
Bygamingballistic December 6, 2014October 24, 2016
+Jeffro Johnson put together his list of best blogs of 2014, and much to my surprise (especially since I had no idea this was being considered) Gaming Ballistic was his top choice. He was quite clear on his reasons, though: #1 on the list was my interview with +Steve Jackson, and the rest of the Firing Squad…

Apropos of Nothing: . . . and Gomorrah?
Bygamingballistic February 5, 2013
Over at a post about bows and arrows, here, I used a phrase: Sense-of-Disbelief-o-Meter. It occurred to me that the acronym for that is SoDoM. So when your SoDoM trips in play, you turn into a pillar of salt. Like a proper redshirt should. I must work the SoDoM into future posts.

RAW Grappling and Technical Grappling: Achieve a Dominant Position
Bygamingballistic December 2, 2014October 24, 2016
A repetitive but useful introduction: In previous posts I talked about grappling from the perspective of someone totally unfamiliar with the concept and application. I proposed what is effectively a loose four-step model. Like all models, it’s wrong, but hopefully useful ( “All models are wrong; some are useful.” G. E. P. Box). The steps (and the…

Dragon Heresy Races and Kingdoms
Bygamingballistic July 29, 2016October 24, 2016
I’m into serious worldbuilding for the Dragon Heresy RPG now, so this will be a short post. I’ve settled on an organizational structure for detailing the Races that come out of the SRD5.1 with nothing but the stat-block and abilities, and also the Kingdoms that make up the political entities in the setting. So, what…

Retroactive GURPS-Day Post: Setups and Feints
Bygamingballistic August 1, 2014October 24, 2016
Over on the SJG Forums, a poster going by Varyon dropped in and threw down some concepts for how to do an actual Feint out of a setup. One of the conceits of the setup attack is that, well, it’s the same as a Deceptive Attack, but defers the bonus to a later time. There…

We all have it coming, kid
Bygamingballistic May 5, 2016October 24, 2016
Thinking a bit more about S2E4 of the Aeon campaign, I can’t help coming back to how badly we biffed it, and still managed to pull it out because of a metagame ability – for which I paid many points – to ret-con a whole series of crap decisions. There are certain things you can’t…
