#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 13 – Tiny Gunslingers (Tiny d6)
Really, all the twins wanted was a good-paying job and a shot at some land. Sven and Ole had just missed the War Between the States and had no desire to pursue a life in the mines. So they packed up, and headed West. They spent some time riding herds and raised part of a…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 12 – In Nomine (Steve Jackson Games)
I just saw, and loved, Ghostbusters: Afterlife. That reminded me that I’ve played the “How do I make this character in this ruleset?” game? Once upon a time, as a Halloween Challenge, I wrote up the original Ghostbusters as In Nomine characters. So, without further ado, here are: Peter Venkman, Ghostbuster Corporeal Forces: 1, Strength…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 11 – In Nomine (Steve Jackson Games)
Who’s a Good Dog? Spot, that’s who! Spot is Reliever, a celestial spirit that has not yet fledged into its final angelic form. Until it does, Spot serves as a familiar to Maveriel. Spot provides the muscle of the two, engaging in any combat necessary when Maveriel’s social skills fail them. With the body of…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 10 – In Nomine (Steve Jackson Games)
Once upon a time, Steve Jackson Games adapted a very darkly humorous French RPG into an American version. It too was darkly humorous, but also whimsical, horrific, and very low contrast. If religious themes or the Judeo-Christian mythos is not your thing, this game is definitely not for you. For me, I enjoyed the sourcebooks…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 9 – 3E Dungeons & Dragons
Once upon a time, I played A LOT of D&D 3E. It was the only game in town for the old College Gaming Group (even a decade post-college). I have an old character creator program called eTools with a lot of 3E content. So knocking out a basic character is fairly easy. Og the Fist…

Review: Half-ogre & Ogre PC Races (5E, 5 stars)
Karl David Brown returns to his series of booklets constructing Player Character races for D&D 5E, based on his mathematical fomula anaylsis and deep dives into previous version’s lore. I haven’t read the previous booklets, but I might based on this one’s quality. You get 14 pages for $US 1.30, including front and back cover.…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 8 – Tiny Frontiers 1E (Tiny d6)
Any xeno-recovery crew needs that guy: the one who knows stuff or knows where to find out about stuff. And sometimes, that guy needs to accompany the crew in the recovery attempt. Idaho is that guy. He’s quite confident in his abilities, maybe overconfident. But maybe Idaho’s got reason for his confidence. He’s still alive,…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 7 – 5E Dungeons & Dragons
I like playing divine characters, but I don’t always like playing them straight. 5E’s Celestial Patron Warlock and Divine Soul Sorcerer are *perfect* for that. So when I got a chance to play an online Al-Qadim one-shot, I jumped the the chance. Here is Elder Nabil min Zayir, a first-level Celestial Patron Warlock, who would…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 6 – 5E Dungeons & Dragons
I’m late today, so I’ll present the character first: Iados, Tiefling Oath of Devotion Paladin. He’s the first 5E character I created. He was part of a party run through Waterdeep – Dragon Heist, that was so much fun, it should been illegal. In the Friday night gaming group, we play mostly 1E or 2E…
