As announced some days ago, my first guest post at Philippe Ménard’s blog has gone live! Here’s a short excerpt: Some time ago, Barb, a homeschooling mom from California contacted me. She had...
In last October I created some rules for simple firearms for D&D 4th Edition that are still very popular. Some days ago the reader Perfidius posted an interesting comment that I think is...
Yesterday I decided to have a look at Berin Kinsman’s autobiographic roleplaying game “Being Berin Kinsman”. The 45th anniversary edition is available at Lulu as Paperback and PDF. On 26 pages you not...
The ROLPUNK manifesto has – at least in my humble opinion – an underlying message: don’t take yourself to seriously, and remember it’s just a game! Since I have started following RPG blogs...
One reasons why I picked up S&W was that it’s very easy to modify. In most modern games, making a small change on one end can lead to catastrophic results. Not so with...

If you haven’t been living under a rock for quite some time, you probably noticed a growing trend in the RPG hobby: OD&D is back with a vengeance. Ok, in most cases it’s...
It all started with the Fantasy Craft preview PDF. While I was paging through it, my girlfriend was sitting next to me, and when we reached the section about Drakes, she exclaimed: “We...

There’s an interesting post about using the classic Lucasarts adventure game “Full Throttle” into a Cyberpunk 2020 campaign over at the German CP2020 blog. If you speak German or aren’t afraid to use...
