Nerdarchy! Plus Bestiary Monster of the Day

Bygamingballistic

I was on Nerdarchy!

David and I spent maybe half the time talking monsters and the Bestiary, and then a lot of time talking about shields and swords and other things.

Monster of the Day

A daily post of one of the monsters from the Nordlond Bestiary, on Kickstarter now.

I’m going to try and post one of these per day. They’re very, very work-in-progress level, designed to show off some of the layout, art, and abilities of the book.
As an example, I think the “Green Hag,” which is the SRD name for the creature, is best renamed the Swamp Hag, or swamp witch, which would be mýrarnorn. She needs a grapple attack (Wrestling-13 for 1d+3 control, Reach C) as well.

Hitting the wrong target and area fire

Bygamingballistic

In his Melee Academy post for July, +Peter V. Dell’Orto touches on enfilade fire, that is, shooting through a whole bunch of targets. GURPS can get a little wonky (or a lot wonky) when you apply rules that are pretty much built around point fire from one single source (usually a PC with a gun) against another…

Lost Hall of Tyr: And that’s a wrap

Bygamingballistic

It’s taken a bit, mostly because I was working personally with two busy folks, but all Kickstarter rewards have now been delivered: the two character sheets with portraits were finalized and delivered for my Styðja-level backers last weekend. It was a fun ride. As I noted before, I indulged in a bit of extravagance by…
