BECAUSE I AM NUMBER 1 PRINCESS



I talk about doing things with plants in games like having them exploit you


A video game review of Probability zero and Anodyne 

The first planescrap document, a cleaned version of the scrawling all over the classic series. This Blazing world and a glossary of terms being used. Such as Blazing world
the second document of this which is the first so its called zero

A campaign setting for the 52 page rule book called Very Big Space ship

A list of question for you campaign that your players won't ask but it's good practice for preparing for question that players will ask you that you cannot foresee ever

Encounter tables that have sign and spoor for "near miss" encounters. Example table is of a island. Also I complain about how everyone else does it

Another campaign setting for the 52 page rule book called islands

Brief sketches for campaign setting , 2 were developed later (Islands, Very Big Spaceship)

I start talking about art and feelings and waving hands airly about the idea of magic realism urban fantasy that makes no sense and is broken

Names of fantasy races (dwarf, elf, grey ooze, displacer beast, goblin,toadborn,githyanki,githzerai,giant,treant,pixie,leprechaun) 

oh and Kenku and , thri-kreen , and skaven)

thoughts on monsters that combine together and a triad that does that

additional gender roles for fantasy settings

running domain play as a carousing table part 1 is here and part 2 hasn't happened yet


Duels of the guilds. Like trying to scald each other or make an army of ginger breadmen to fight their cupcake hussars

I hadn't done a post for awhile and decided to just take some photos around the house (the trees are not in my house, they are some of the tallest trees in New Zealand though) and put them in post for inspiration and didn't bother to explain any of that at the time. Then this big hoohah happened and my blog got all this extra traffic but that was the post at the time so now blogger has this as the most popular post of all time.

Fairys oh the little people don't go outside boy don't even look at the door they will smell your lookings

THE TABLES AND DELIGHTMENTS OF DISPLACERKLAUS

plot bombs, magic tattoo effects

2d6 world hack

a d104 table of everything that Arnold K then turned into a dungeon

d9 table of magic weapons

table of 2 words that rhyme named monsters, rpg titles weirdly unused,   items made from bread by this society, reasons for ghosts, weaponized instruments, pointless islands, Cimim

a d16 of troublesome lakes

ideas for drawing counters as random generators , thoughts about encounters , a trap for the curious, through and stubborn and then some magic teeth and fish bones

Arnold K wrote about "tigers" , monsters and animals that are very good at exploiting human weaknesses . I gave it a go too

Farms. Always unsettling. But now, very unsettling with these
RANDOM TABLES

traits for armour , magic and mundane

attempt at simple yet distinctive wizard subtypes

fossil city encounters and fighting a heavey burny ship rule

 NPC faction interactions

fighter ability :

 tables. tables. I can pull on a rope and kill a cow as well as any other fucker can.

 quick rule grab bag (encounter, revised climbing on creatures, armour piercing, a "can they buy that ?" table, fumble table and some old stuff)

 Players are paying people to make them weapons of fire
how do i resolve that?

 Minigame for wizard projects(making creatures, items , spells etc) using tarot cards and a table. In need of hack I feel, but sometimes you just got to type up what you got and leave it for someone else to realize the true potential.
