So, this last weekend my group played through the Blade Runner Starter Set scenario, Electric Dreams. This will be a brief discussion of the system, the starter set, and the scenario, including both what we liked and disliked.

Reworking Glorantha – The Issue of Ernalda, Part 2

Last week we looked at the mythic side of Ernalda and bringing it into a better, more active form. This week we are going to jump into the more practical side of things, primarily the cult of Ernalda and its place withing Gloranthan society. This will mirror a lot of the information found in the Earth Cults book, so I was careful to only include the headers that we are altering.

I created a small add-on for #Dragonbane that gives some options for those seeking a more Aetherpunk/Magepunk experience. Any resemblance to an existing setting is a legally distinct coincidence. Half-off until Jan 1st!

The Glorantha Campaign, Part 6 – Into the Rainbow Mounds, Sort Of

So, more than any other adventure I've run so far, this one is practically unrecognizable to the original. I'm not trying to be down on the writers of this one, though. They were obviously trying to make something awesome, and its obvious that they have a deep and abiding love for the setting...

DragonRune: A Game Design Interlude

This week I'm taking a quick break from the Glorantha series to dive into the game design I've been working on for the last year or so. It will be similar to my game design journal for Less is More, only spanning a series of entries and not just a one-off. To get there, however, we need to start at the beginning for some context.

A friend of mine put out a cool fishing minigame that you can use in your own system. Looks like an especially interesting add-on for The One Ring, Forbidden Lands, or RuneQuest for a fun downtime session, or a break on a long journey.

Glorantha Campaign, Part 5 – Sacred Time

So far the game has been going great, although we transitioned after this session to a different system. The World of Darkness adjacent system was fine but it really didn't fit right. I'll still be releasing a playtest document for that system soon, but we decided we needed something a bit more traditional for the setting. Thus we've transitioned to playtest…

Glorantha Campaign, Part 4 – A Fire in the Darkness

I love a good mystery adventure, and this one could easily be considered one of the better one's I've ran recently. My only issue with it is that it seemed unwieldy for complete newbs, like one might expect in a Starter Set. Mostly this is because actually deducing what was happening required a simply massive info dump on my part to get them on the right path before it was over.

Just realized that I forgot an update that has massive ramifications for playability. Amazing what a difference two words can make in the whole structure of the system, lol. If you downloaded it earlier today, you may want to redownload it before trying to play it.

Just put out a new playtest version of DragonRune, my medium-sim ruleset. If you like the grounded feel of systems like Mythras and RuneQuest but don't love rolling multiple times per turn and looking things up on charts then you may find it interesting.

Glorantha Campaign, Part 3 – A Rough Landing

This adventure is pretty straight forward without a lot of room for players to wander off. That makes it a pretty good choice to start a campaign in a new world, and I especially love the opening scenes that clearly communicate that this setting is unlike any the players have experienced before. Of course, this is a re-cap of our experience with the adventure, so spoilers abound.

Glorantha Campaign, Part 2 – Meet the Family

So, last week we looked at the clan and character creation aspects, using the clan questionnaire and the RQ:G character history tables. The first thing I want to include is the complete account of the family that was devised from those rolls. The Family Erina Kingsblade earned her name the hard way. She died for it. The young Sword of Humakt died at the age of 27 defending King Torkalor from the depredations of the Lunar…

Share your top 5 settings, regardless of system:

1) Middle-earth: The classic, although not fully realized at the table until #TOR 1e, although MERPS has cool extensions to the geography

2) #Glorantha: A fully realized mythic world in many ways. I don't always love it but it rolls up so many loves.

3) #theExpanse: Perfect example of hard(ish) sci-fi roleplay

4) #Eberron: Aetherpunk pulpy goodness

5) New World of Darkness: #nWoD is the best urban fantasy/horror sandboxes
