The home-base of my Rose of Westhaven campaign is a small(ish) port-town called Porthcrawl, recently we had a game where most of the people in the town had turned up to a funeral, in thinking about what the various inhabitants would look like I was scrolling through various pictures on Google Image search and noticed… Read More »
It’s Tip Tuesday here on Red Dice Diaries, and in this video I’m talking about some of my favourite handouts, newspaper clippings and letters:
In a Facebook conversation today that was sparked off by Carol Dunster mentioning the forthcoming edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay I happened to mention that in about 1999 (when I was about 19 years old) I’d written an adventure (under the somewhat pretentious pseudonym of Dragonfire – hey I was young) titled “The Phantom of… Read More »
I’ve recently been designing a random encounter chart for Porthcrawl the current base of operations in our Midderlands LOTFP campaign, at the moment it’s a fairly basic chart containing entries like 1D6 villagers on their way to church or 1D6 vendors preparing stock for market. I’m planning on expanding it in the future, but one… Read More »
Last night I ran a game of Dresden Files Accelerated for five great players, it was a one-shot and–to put a bit of a twist on it–I’d decided to set the game in the wild west rather than the more traditional modern setting of the game. Looking for an iconic town I settled on Tombstone,… Read More »
Unfortunately, during the last session of our Rose of Westhaven campaign a windows update related hitch meant that–whilst the players could hear me during the session–none of my audio actually made it onto the live-stream, obviously this is a bit of a problem for a game where an RPG where the GM does the scene-setting, describes… Read More »

In this post I use the same ideas for Clerics, the difference being that the table represents… Read More »
In today’s session of Rose of Westhaven we’re trying out using an adaption of the LOTFP supplement Vagina’s are Magic, we’re not going the whole hog with the weird spells and such-like in there (since that would entail a massive alteration of the magic level of our campaign) but I’ve been discussing with one of my… Read More »
Games I’ll be Running For those of you who aren’t aware, I helped run Games on Demand at last years UK Games Expo (masterminded by Lloyd Gyan). Essentially Games on Demand is a series of two hour long ‘taste games’ where people can just turn up, buy a ticket for Games on Demand on the… Read More »
I’m currently running an OSR game using the Lamentations of the Flame Princess rules, using the excellent Midderlands campaign setting created by Glynn Seal of Monkeyblood Design & Publishing (https://plus.google.com/+MonkeyblooddesignCoUk). In Lamentations there are three non-human race-classes available, Dwarves, Elves and Halflings, that aren’t covered in great detail in the Midderlands books, but that I… Read More »
