City State (pt 2)
I was excited for this project - for I still own pieces of the original from the 80s (some of the maps, etc.) and some of my fave campaigns took place in those places back in the 80s. So, while I’m sure that Goodman Games will produce a wonderful product when this project is complete, I’ve decided not to participate.
City State of the Invincible Overlord (pt 1)
Goodman Games is starting a crowdfunding campaign for a reproduction of City State of the Invincible Overlord formerly published by Judges Guild in the late 1970s. I have talked about another City State of theirs in a previous set of posts (Tarantis). https://goodman-games.com/an-additional-statement-about-city-state-of-the-invincible-overlord Goodman Games often publishes these reproductions and updates to vintage adventure modules […]
Forbidden Lands week (10 days long) begins today (July 10) at PaineFull-DM.com!
As it happens, Dave Thaumavore posted a YouTube about Forbidden Lands yesterday - I watched it this morning. In that video (link below), Dave hopes that Free League and Erik Granström will leave Alderland as an open book for GMs to develop their own ideas. It’s a good idea, but I happen to know that […]
This Week’s Game News - for Me. July 9, 2024
Last week was Symbaroum Week for me. I didn’t get a whole lot done, except that I focused my reading and some prep on Symbaroum. I had a moment of inspiration the week before that started with a group of elves in a Warhammer FRP scenario. The more I dug into the idea, the more […]
April 2024 CASAN Fundraiser - Tarantis, A Reimagining - Part 3
April Arts for Asylum Seekers - Fantastic Geography: Post Ten Whatever fictional space one creates, it’s really helpful to draw on all of your audience’s senses when describing the setting. And I’ve been spending some mental energy thinking of music that I might be able to find that would fit. I like listening to folk […]
April 2024 CASAN Fundraiser - Tarantis, A Reimagining - Part 2
Fantastic Geography: A Multimedia Exploration in Imagined Places: Post Four I’m Bill Paine. Thank you for supporting CASAN and for taking an interest in my project. Today’s entry shows a method of transferring a sketch from notebook to map paper. I superimpose the city map that I’d like to simulate onto my sketch and size […]
April 2024 CASAN Fundraiser - Tarantis, A Reimagining
I participated in 2024's April Arts for Asylum Seekers fundraiser in April 2024. My project was Tarantis, a Reimagining. Here are the posts for the first week.
Long time, Another time!
It's been a while. I don't need to say why exactly. I hope to post later this week some long-worked-on posts that I need to finish and post. Also, I'm focusing on Symbaroum this week in my head and my notebook. I'll post about that as well. Talk to you soon!
Pirate Borg and Pirate Goblins! A Piratey Book Report
Firstly, I was fortunate enough to receive a signed copy of Pirate Borg through my patronage of Victory Condition Gaming (https://www.youtube.com/@VictoryConditionGaming)!! I’m so excited to dig in! It’s a beautiful book and Dark Caribbean map! One group of my gaming friends will be digging into some piratey adventures in October. We’ll be meeting for a […]
Venturing into Forbidden Lands
As I think I reported before, I backed the Forbidden Lands Bloodmarch and Book of Beasts kickstarter in a big way. Though I already had several too many fantasy RPGs, I found the potential of Forbidden Lands too much to resist. So I ordered everything! I’m really glad I did! The more I explore the […]
