The good news post-reinstalls on the gaming laptop? No more driver issues! Weird issues in Windows Security are resolved. The best part about re-installing Windows and then Steam and downloading a 128+ GB game? None of the Cloud Synced saves for Baldurs Gate 3 will successfully load....
I’ve been playing some Pathfinder Society games at the local gaming store. Two of the gaming groups I’m in used to play Pathfinder but switched to D&D 5th edition. Reverting to Pathfinder feels very strange. It’s not as annoying as D&D 3.5, but it’s close. So. Many....
Gizmodo has an article on how Wizards of the Coast is working with a company called AltspaceVR to create an official virtual environment for playing D&D. The setup will use Oculus VR hardware for playing. It looks interesting, although would require a good hardware investment for anyoen...
Even though Fantasy Flight Games have officially stopped developing Warhammer Fantasy Role Play 3rd edition, the players have continued to develop new resources. I recently found a new-to-me site, Daily Empire, a blog about all things Warhammer. The site has links to some fan-developed adventures, GM resources,...
A friend of mine sent me a link to DM Scotty’s channel, the DM’s Craft. He shows how to make all sorts of dungeon tiles with paint, cardboard (!!), hot glue, and patience. They look really good! There is a video that shows how to make crypt...
A friend of mine suggested two movies. One of these I’ve seen before (Gamers: Dorkness Rising) and the other I haven’t seen> I own most of the D&D movies, even the really especially bad ones. Imagine my delight to find out that there is a D&D movie...
Took the test and was either a 6th level Wizard or a 6th level druid. I’ll take the druid. I Am A: Neutral Good Human Druid (6th Level) Ability Scores: Strength-14 Dexterity-16 Constitution-12 Intelligence-16 Wisdom-17 Charisma-17 Alignment:Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a...
A friend of mine and I were talking about gaming theory before lunch today. These are the sites we talked about. I’m posting these so I can go back and read them later. Bundle of Holding — like a software bundle except with RPGs. Role-playing game theory...
The Winter Writing Festival has been a big boost to productivity. I’m not writing as much on the fiction as I would like because of all of the role-play related writing I’ve been doing. Still fiction but kinda a mixture of the technical writing (explaining how to...
Score! I’ve been working on gaming material in addition to the short story, Ride Softly. Play-through of newly written material is worth five points. Monday we had a gaming session and a play through. Definitely a work in progress because we were carefully revising material as we...
One of the ladies in my writers’ group at work belongs to the Ruby Slippered Sisterhood. She let us know about their Winter Writing Festival, and it sounded like a perfect opportunity. I’ve been wanting to get back into writing more fiction. I miss it. I’ve felt...
Fantasy Flight is having a sale on a lot of their stuff — including the Warhammer FRP material. Many of the WFRP books and supplements are 50% or more off. I will probably take advantage of the sale and fill in any supplements I don’t have. Related...
Posting these because a friend of mine asked me if I had the links for the WFRP dice rollers. Here they are: Broken Tome WFRP dice roller (basic, but functional) WFRP Dice Roller for Android smart phones or tablets. Unofficial product. (Costs about $2.49) WFRP Toolkit from...
I’ve been looking for new character sheets for Warhammer FRP third edition (3e). The links to the sheets I’ve found are below. My favorite is Gitzman’s very pretty character sheet. (Note: Don’t print this sheet on a Phaser or other similar printer. You won’t be able to...
Last night, my Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay group met at my place for one of the last sessions in the Eye for an Eye campaign. (More on that in another post.) Everyone meets at my place around 7:00-ish once a month and we play for about 3.5 hours....
I am always talking with my friends about playing games together. Lately, it has been Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2 beta, World or Warcraft, or the nostalgic days of Diablo 2 LAN parties. A good friend of mine suggested trying City of Heroes since their policy had...
Listening to Reckless Dice podcast episode 29, and they mentioned a few new resources: Explaining The Old World blog, which describes Warhammer FRP in terms of someone new to the game. You There What Day Is This, a blog about gaming and role playing Fantasy Flight Games...
