Goblin culture is Capitalist and awful Goblin culture in fantasy games is a Capitalist Fascist racial empire. The Goblins are mean, racist, bigoted, cruel, insecure, diseased, and warlike. Their leaders are bloated gluttonous monsters constantly calling for prisoners to be hauled before them. Conce...

Is the consequences of doing good an example of considerations for adventure design or general GM's advice? Obviously to some degree it's both but its true secret purpose is as a guideline to create rich roleplaying with NPC's. It's pretty normal in adventures to have the NPC's the players interact...

Doing Good Has Consequences When you defeat evil there should be consequences. This seems counterintuitive but is true. If your party frees all the oppressed Orcs forced to work the Shadow King’s fields they’ve done an unquestionable moral good. They have also probably made it so that there’s going...

Musings
I've been writing a lot of rpg stuff during the quar, I figured I'd start posting the system-agnostic stuff and anyone else doing any rambley quar writings is welcomed to do the same. Humans and Half-Humans Humans “thing” should be their fertility. Humans can have kids with anything. Orcs and Elves ...

Shadowrun's fascination with body modification and internal upgrades posit a setting massively more focused around stealth than Shadowrun is. If the assumption was that the dramatic majority of jobs were done in locations you couldn't even bring a pistol without being caught then suddenly being the ...

Dean should play with us more. I absolutely WILL play with you more! I'm in the middle of writing and filming two different projects at the moment and I've got a couple comedy shows to do a week so I feel really compressed for time. In a month stuff will calm down as one of those projects finishes....

I'm interviewing for a D&D job
So I'm interviewing for this new show that's opening in New York that's got a live dungeon master and you're running a sort of D&D with some audience participation all the while leading the occasional drinking game and so on. They'll get a lot of New York City actor performer types interviewing ...

Yeah American circumcision is and should go the way of the dodo. Even if any of us happen to be cut it still doesn't mean this stupid weird and frankly perverse practice should continue. Pretty much anyone looking at a practice started by an old awful pervert who pumped yogurt into boys asses and wa...

I wanted something discrete, a la the five-dot model of Vampire paths, but I wanted the powers to build off each other and involve fixed cost formulas and effects a la Shadowrun. In a better world, I probably would have double-downed on the Shadowrun aspect and just had a system where you can desig...

The latest Chapo episode from the Iowa Caucus may be the single greatest podcast recording ever made. I've never felt more seen by a piece of media. That shit was a powerful powerful episode.

Would a Pokemon Monster Manual (a Pokedex, if you would) benefit from having writeups of each individual species (or species line) that detail their diets, habitats, and behaviors? Or is that too much work for too little payoff and you're better off referring people to the internet? Basically, is i...

A thing the entire new series (and the prequels) fundamentally lack is the concept of character development. No character changes over time in any movie. Sometimes they kind of become technically different things by gaining group affiliations or powers but as humans and characters everyone is exactl...

Frank. One thing I thought would be valuable to hear from you specifically would be how you think Cold/Extreme Cold should be done in terms of gradients of significance and what the effects are. Heat too while I'm asking I suppose. How much cold does it take to fuck up a person over how long? How wo...

Hey Kaelik I generally like how Fortresses and Fiends does damage/wounds but my eyes glaze over a bit when I try to parse the actual numbers in your system. Do you think you could write out an example of two people hitting each other in your system? Not a whole combat, just the numbers involved in t...
