Collaboration is great

Bygamingballistic

I never regret talking to +Peter V. Dell’Orto. Today were were chatting over Skype, and in a few short moments, a few things he said triggered a flow of ideas that will result in me revamping a long-pending Pyramid article.

A quick note, and perhaps a question. Last game three PCs charged into combat (well, snuck into combat) and went head to head at 1st level into the face of 4:1 odds. The results were predictable. One commenter on Twitter noted “they should have run away.” Now, there are two ways to take this. One…

This is a shout-out to +Emily Smirle . I fretted about my monsters chapter for Dragon Heresy. It was 91,000 words long, and a whole lot of problems. Well, I chatted with Em and +GodBeastX , and they noted that the best way to do this was probably a brute scrape of a text file. Turn it into an…

Joining Orbs and Balrogs!

Bygamingballistic

Yay, I get to play in another GURPS campaign! I’ll be joining +Christian Blouin and diverse others in his Reclaiming Khazad-dum campaign as of tonight. I’m very excited. It’s another fantasy-style campaign, but this one is pure GURPS (Tolkien based) rather than Golarion with GURPS. So we’ll see what flavor is there. Also, this group has decided…
