Dungeon Digest #002 (14 Jun 2015)

* How to check the balance of your D20 (YouTube)

We’ve all had that lucky (or unlucky) d20 that’s made us question our beliefs in fate, karma, or a higher power - ten natural twenties in a night just shouldn’t happen, let alone happen regularly. Whether you think your dice is the chosen one or your weekly sacrifices to the dice gods have been working, you might want to check your die’s balance before you go off offering your dachshund’s...

Adventure Teaser: Mercy
The lamp flickered to life, barely any oil left, and dimly illuminated the cabin room.

"The moon's barely out still?"

"Aye. Seems like the snow clouds aren't meaning to go away anytime soon."

“...”

"Can't sleep as well, can you?"

"Not after hearing what I heard and seeing what I seen tonight. And we've the...

Highlight: Jonathan Coulton
If you've played a game called Portal and stuck around long enough to see the credits, you'd recognize a song he wrote called Still Alive. Jonathan and his songs have been making rounds in the internet garnering acclaim for a fairly long time now. His songs about geek culture are clever and fun, and it takes a certain finesse to write songs about redshirts, programming, zombies, robots and mad scientists, and create them at the caliber he does.

So, you could imagine my surprise when a disappointingly large number of my geeky peers(those that would absolutely...

What is Fudge?
Copied from Grey Ghost Press, Inc.

Fudge is a rules-light role-playing game engine providing a common set of game mechanics that can be used to create any role-playing game you desire. Fudge uses a simple word-based system for handling action and combat resolution, which makes the game fast-paced and easy to play.

For example, a character might be a Great Swordsman rather than a 14th level fighter. Combined with simple action resolution, Fudge's descriptive nature makes ideal it for novice players. Fudge...

Thoughts: Writing Adventures
My initial thoughts on how adventures work aren't far from the mark. There's the premise, a lil' bit of exposition, then comes the tender meatiness that are encounters - after which, there's nothing else short of closure and conclusion. Writing one was surely going to be a slice of pie.

During my tribulations of trying to scrawl what tangible structure and order I could arrange, however, I recognized the difference between writing an adventure and writing a good one. What comprises an amazing adventure does not hinge on the ingenuity of the premise alone nor the stimulating prospects...

Roll Initiative! Blog Started!

Hey guys!

After a bit of site surfing, I realized that quite a handful of websites and forums have blogs plastered on their homepages, oftentimes featured prominently. I never really gave much thought to the fact until recently.

That being said, I've decided to start a blog for the forums which will be framed on the Portal (which is also the homepage) replacing the NEWS section.

It may seem unusual but I believe news - despite being the more important of the two - could be accessed quite easily in and about the...
