RPG characterization wisdom from a 5yo
My not-quite-5yo daughter: “You know, in the Lego Movie, the good guys think the bad guys are the bad guys, but the bad guys think the good guys are the bad guys.” See? Even a five-year-old (not quite) knows that the bad guys do what they do because they think it’s the right thing from…
Shrug It Off
While we were playtesting the Action Point rules for The Last Gasp, we ran through a boxing match. Or rather, one of my playtesters ran through a boxing match.

Pyramid #3/61: Eidetic Memory – The Devil’s Fist
In Pyramid #3/61: The Way of the Warrior, we see a very, very focused set of articles: six articles plus +Steven Marsh‘s intro and Random Thought Table, contributed by five authors . . . and the lead article was co-authored! That being said, this one was interesting. “How about a theme issue,” said Steven. BAM! And…

When told the reason for daylight saving time the old Indian said…
‘Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket.’
