Blog Fatigue, or just fatigue

Bygamingballistic

Was in Hong Kong last week, and got in a few posts. Since then, nothing other than the D&D5 writeup. I’m just tired. Lots going on at work this week, and I also got really sick on Monday and Tuesday. Thought it might have even been pertussis, but turned out it wasn’t. Not sure what it was. Wan’t flu, H3N3, or pertussis. Anyway, between long c-calls on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, plus writing 13 midyear reviews for my group – well, I was tapped out.

I have been creating a 4th level D&D5 Paladin for +Rob Conley‘s Majestic Wilderlands game coming up on Monday. I’ll probably post that. Got a good set of base rolls: 16, 16, 16, 12, 11, 11. So plenty to do there.

Musings about the Steve Jackson Interview – Part 1

Bygamingballistic

I interviewed +Steve Jackson, who of course wrote and published the game system for which I write, GURPS. +Jeffro Johnson said nice things about the interview. Steve and I covered a lot of ground, much of which could have elicited an even larger response than I made during the interview itself.  I’m going to excerpt parts of the…

Treasure Tables (linked from Dungeon Fantastic)

Bygamingballistic

Peter Dell’Orto, over at Dungeon Fantastic, just posted a link to a First Edition DnD treasure trove generator. I do vaguely remember “Treasure Type,” and would have to look for it more closely. But I tried it out randomly, and got some really neat results.  Treasure Type D; 3 repeats, verbose gems “on.” Treasure Type…

Cinematic awesome vs. two mooks – what do you do?

Bygamingballistic

In this post on the GURPS Forums, TheOneRonin was asking about how to fight multiple opponents in GURPS while unarmed. This was sort of interpreted to mean “I should be able to beat up many foes if I have Karate and Judo!” That wasn’t precisely fair, but the advice he received: expect to lose; expect…

Bygamingballistic

Though the title is Melee Academy, being able to do harm at a distance is important in many genres. However, up until the invention of the windlass, cranequin, gunpowder, and fast-discharge supercapacitor, what you’re really doing is finding ways of translating your strength into injury. Also on Melee Academy, Ranged Edition: Peter Dell’Orto talks about…

  1. I see the problem; you're using the blog fatigue rules from "The Last Gasp." You'll recover more quickly using the standard fatigue rules.
