Recently I discovered FU, the free, universal roleplaying game by Nathan Russel. At the core of FU are Descriptors. Descriptors are adjectives or short sentences that descibe one aspect of the character. Each...
I think a lot of GMs love to try new stuff: new games, new rules, new campaigns. But more often than not players are hesitant to try something new. Some groups never want...
On Saturday I finally ran my first Starblazer Adventures session. As I’ve detailed in a couple of posts here on the blog we used the Mass Effect universe as a background and the...
Well that should come as no surprise… Past post and the theme of the blog should be a dead giveaway. But this is supposed to be a post about why I love my...
A couple of days ago Ken Walton, one of the creators of the upcoming “Abney Park’s Airship Pirates”, posted a link to this short movie on rpg.net. It’s a movie about a captain...

On the weekend I started playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which is actually a prequel to the original Deus Ex that was released over a decade ago. I like the game a lot...
In December 2008 I first read about Charles Stross’ short story “A Colder War”. Imagine an alternative timeline where the cold war ends in 1984 because the Soviets mistake a joke made by...
My recently-discovered love for the music of Abney Park and their upcoming roleplaying game Airship Pirates has made me quite excited for all things steampunk again. And even though steampunk is probably not...
