Im not 100% sure it needs it... i assume you have already thought of and dismissed audio/video links? on "my own page":https://the-great-pendragon.obsidianportal.com/ i have about 6 links in a cruciform shape to try and entice visitors deeper…

I agree Tau. The way I see it there are two types of room suited for trapping - one you need to get in and out of from time to time (temple treasury?) and one to be sealed for all time (the God-Kings Tomb?) one or two traps that can be easily av…

I know puzzle traps are a fantasy rpg standard thing (trope? convention? ) but they never sat well with me. yet i see they are very popular. do any of you ever think about the justification behind these increasingly elaborate traps?

im interested :) its a very polished site already, you have clearly applied a lot of what you learnt in the blood and honor site. If you can maintain the inputs and enthusiasm of the players it should become great!

Obsidian Portal has no Wikipedia page!

there are no hard and fast rules, but a couple of local newspaper articles would certainly do the job and to my mind is the easiest to achieve ("local firm purchases x and creates y new jobs" is sufficient as is "local firm wins prize at gaming conv…

Sure, if they are interested they are welcome to. Its not all my work, but as it was intended as a creative commons wiki page I can't see anyone objecting... Small council members, Andrew and (perhaps?) KVP take note :)

i hope we will still see Andrew on these boards, and depending on his relevant previous experience (lets face it, for all we know your a scurvy riddled 14 year old who never leaves the basement!) KVP seems a logical a choice for the role.

hi all, as we have not managed to find independent, preferably printed, reference sources of high enough quality in time; the draft wiki page is now scheduled for deletion. If the folks at Kaleidoscope ever want to get a wiki page up and ru…

Tin man games are doing the fighting fantasy books as apps for you phone, and the majority of the lone wolf books are available as an app as well (can't recall the company name though)

Lots of love for fate out there :). Anything to recommend it for the darker / horror type game though? I get the impression its better suited to pulpier type games (though many have said CoC /BRP is pulpy anyway, apart from the insanity rules)

I am always amazed when people tell me they have not played CoC... its like never having playing D&D or read a 'choose your own adventure' book or something in my mind! apparently Unkown Armies is great as well, but I have only ever read it, …

I think it depends on the genre - for a horror type game: Gritty, debilitating and quickly fatal is what I believe is best - especially if its combined with an excessivly long and cumbersome character creation process... You really truly do not …
