A Beginning

Hi. I'm Donna, a student, writer, and a very sketchy artist. I've spent a long time lurking and figured that it'd be nice to contribute to the SWORD DREAM/OSR scene. For most of the games I run I use Into The Odd by Chris McDowall and I use GLOG by Arnold K for sillier one-shots, so expect game-able content for those two systems along with little blurbs of worldbuilding at the start of posts. Of course, there's not much worldbuilding to do in a first post, but I do have game-able content. Specifically I have the sheet that I hand players when they create characters for my Into The Odd games, modified for vanilla Into The Odd since the game my players know is heavily hacked.
Out Of The Womb & Into The Odd
(Jason Nyugen)
When creating new characters for a new campaign, I hand each of the players this sheet and give them 10 to 15 minutes to brainstorm character bonds and who knows what about who. I listen at the sidelines, encourage collaborative character building, and enjoy the fun. After that, I generally explain the rules of the game, along with the principles of how to avoid dying really quickly, and we continue to the beginning of the session. Maybe someday I'll publish a properly formatted document of my hacked version of Into The Odd, but for now this will do. See you later, readers.

Spells + Rituals

In the spirit of October-For-People-In-Denial, I've been working on a few spooky things that probably should've been posted in Actual-October. One thing that I really enjoy is witches, in fact, I love them so much that all of my recent campaign's quintessential four classes  includes them ( Fighter , Thief , Witch, and Warlock , in my case). So far while GMing GLOG, the four have worked very well together. I've never quite written down solid rules surrounding the witch, so I guess now's the time. Just so we're all clear on what I view as "witches" and what this class will entail, I think that covens are like giant magical conspiracy-networks. Veteran witches live in this constant state of nightmare where complex rituals must be done, subtle games must be played, and horrible deeds must be completed for some final goal you would never understand. That being said, you can learn the game they play and participate if you're willing to risk a little h...

Cautionary Tales

"Do not lose hope - what you seek will be found. Trust ghosts. Trust those that you have helped to help you in their turn. Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story ." - Neil Gaiman Gold-for-XP has never quite stuck with me, so I've decided to do advancement in a different and much more subjective matter for my new kind-of-weird-hackjob-of-West-Marches campaign with my friends. I really want them to seek out weird-ass-shit instead of just going places solely because "there might be money." So, I present: Tales-for-XP   Tim Mcburnie (Breaking off from Jakub Rebelka, shocking, I know) The rules are simple. To level up you must tell an amount of thrilling but true stories about your exploits and adventures equal to the level you're trying to reach. So, if you're at level 1 trying to reach level 2, you'd need to tell 2 stories. If you're at level 2 and trying to reach level 3, you'd need to tell 3 new stories, and so on...

Improvise, Adapt, Overcome

No plan survives first contact with the player, at least no plan of yours, my fellow GMs. I often find that heavy planning isn't worth it. I specifically find that improvisation is advantageous in play, for it can lead to even more interesting results than your original planning may have ever yielded. Attached to my GM screen I have four pages. The first is a giant list of random names, surnames, quirks, appearance, and secrets, all on D100 tables in some almost too tiny text. The second is a set of "templates" for magical items. The third is the player-facing rules to my hack. The fourth is simply for taking notes. I tend to run lots of my games pretty off-the-cuff since I am only an efficient writer when it's about an hour before the game starts and I'm panicking - anxiety is a horrible curse to have. Now, in interest of making interesting content, I'm going to share the magical item templates, since I'm almost sure everybody has seen their fair shar...
