Dungeon 23 - Day 4

S4: Private Residence

This house is the home of the cobbler, Burna Selistan. She moved in approximately 3 months ago. She uses the main floor for cooking and eating, but also does some of her work here too, when she doesn't feel like traveling to her shop. The main room consists of a hearth, a large wooden table with round stools and a few comfortable upholstered chairs sit in the corners near the windows. 

One set of stairs leads to the bedroom on the second floor and another leads down to the basement.

A front door leads out to the main thoroughfare and a second door leads out back to the alley behind her house.

The entire dungeon so far:

A Free Dragon AGE Campaign

Image
Even with all of the uproar about the Open Game License (OGL) now settled, you may still be thinking about trying another system. Fortunately, there are more than a few systems out there that provide free Quickstart guides that provide a taste of a games setting and mechanics as well as pre-generated characters. Unfortunately though, a lot of this material can be a little on the shorter side and isn't always the best indicator of how a game operates over repeat playing, or through the course of a campaign. Now, if you're okay with a little challenge, and willing to get creative, there are a few options out there for taking freely available adventure material and stretching it out into a short sample campaign. Nothing as long as a full length adventure path style campaign, but definitely something longer than a quickstart adventure, and certainly tons of fun. One such opportunity exists with the free content that Green Ronin Publishing has produced for their Dragon AGE (DAGE) R...

Story and Character Development

I’ve been doing a lot of reading, trying to determine what system and adventure I might like to run after my Ghosts of Saltmarsh and Light of Xaryxis games end. One of the products that I was reading the other day was the Titansgrave: Ashes of Valkana setting and adventure from Green Ronin Publishing. While doing so, I was struck by a particular passage regarding story and character development: "If you watch the show, you'll not that Wil teases a lot of information out of the players about their characters in the early episodes. He then uses that information to customize the adventure, which allows for both story and character development." - Titansgrave: The Ashes of Valkana The emphasis is mine. I want to unpack this a little more because I think this simple sentence actually holds within it a lot of really excellent advice when it comes to running our games. Typical Narrative Development   In typical narrative stories, be it a book a movie, or a TV show, we are of...

Dragonbane BETA

Image
The Beta documents for Free League Publishing's new fantasy role-playing game Dragonbane, were released several weeks ago and have received steady updates throughout the beta process. Kickstarter backers have been able to play and test the system. Here at the RPG study, we have had the opportunity to playtest these rules, just a little bit, and have some thoughts on some of the content that we've seen so far. A lot of skill(s) Reading through the rules document we got the impression that Dragonbane presents a swingy, but fast resolution mechanic. Nearly every situation encountered in the game is resolved through the skill system. Want to make an attack with your sword? Want to look for traps? That's a skill. Want to see if you remember an interesting bit of lore? That's a skill. What makes the game quick is this resolution mechanic. Dragonbane flips the traditional convention of rolling a D20 on its head, at least compared to a system like 5E. In Dragonbane, 20’s ...
