Five monsters for the price of one…

I was thinking about 4e’s encounter design, and something hit me that may well be applicable in several sorts of games. In 4e, the base assumption is that you’ll have one foe per character. This is modified by a bunch of things – minions count as multiple foes, elite creatures count as two, and things like that. I find this...

WoAdWriMo: Day 82

Yeah. It has been a while since I worked on Goblins of Gourm. I took a break in order to move, go to New Orleans, and deal with some personal stuffs. Getting some distance from the material was probably a good idea, though. I’m still fixing up my new place… and I have a huge gaming reading list that I...

WoAdWriMo thoughts

I’ll probably post some version of this on the WoAdWriMo forum, but I want to get my thoughts in order first. The original vision for Worldwide Adventure Writing Month, as I understand it from Jeff, was to create a bank of quality free adventures on the web. Making it a “month” was partially for publicity and partially for writer solidarity....

WoAdWriMo: Day Thirty-Eight

What? Yesterday was fairly productive, Gourm-wise. I wrote quite a bit. I’d hit a bit of a snag in terms of how to present a section of the adventure, but Angela and I went and talked it out over late-night coffee, and it seems to be gelling. Essentially, there’s a town of goblins – a few hundred goblins, some of...

WoAdWriMo: Day 32?

I has been a hell of a month. I mean, it would have to be in order to make it to day 32, right? As predicted, I didn’t finish my WoAdWriMo adventure. I have a good bit done with it, and I am fairly happy with what I do have (but I still need to add a couple of action...

WoAdWriMo: Day 28

Well – there’s no way I’m going to finish this month… but it isn’t too far from done. The point of WoAdWriMo, of course, is to have new adventures available free on the web. That will happen. For me, it will just happen in July rather than June. I realized last night just how much new rules-content I will have...

Tonight we get a sneak peek from the Goblins of Gourm. The material enclosed in the box below is released via the Open Game License. Malachite Menagerie This item is similar in many ways to the Figurines of Wondrous Power. It consists of a small copper cage with three statuettes of animals inside it, carved from malachite: a badger, a...

WoAdWriMo: Day Twenty-five

This has been a hell of a month. I had this big conference that I was planning for this past Saturday – and doing largely by myself since my coworker was out on sick leave after being diagnosed with stomach cancer. Friday night, my coworker died during a relatively minor surgical procedure. So, yeah. I’m a mess. WoAdWriMo was going...

WoAdWriMo: Day Twenty-One

Eep! Will I finish? I don’t know. I am fairly sure I’ll have at least 32 pages worth of an adventure. Will it be a coherent adventure, though? Only time will tell. Nine days of time. I should get in a full day or two of work next week on it, which is a good thing. In any case, Goblins...
