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.
Welcome to the blogosphere! I am mentioning your new blog on my podcast/blog this week. Good luck with it!
