Maz said: “Grant, you should write more dev blogs. And not one every seven weeks when you remember; regular ones.” Well – seven weeks on, here’s a dev blog, because I remembered. CORRUPTION I finished Corruption last week. We aren’t doing XP in a normal fashion, because that would be too straightforward, and instead we […]
The DIE RPG is, obviously, great. It’s a heartbreaking journey into guilt, trauma and pride. It’s a therapy session disguised as a fun activity to do with your friends. It’s a roleplaying game about a comic about roleplaying games about love and the nature of being. Obviously. But what if it was really weird as […]
PAY ATTENTION. Can you feel it? A wretched knot of rust and ruin. A creeping cancer beneath the skin of the real. A wound in the world. A HOLLOW. The Isles – your home, the haggard heart of a lost empire – is beset by them. Sickness, murder, madness and poverty wash across the land in […]
We announced EAT THE REICH earlier this month to thunderous acclaim: but what is it? Details below: THE GAME EAT THE REICH is a pun that got way, way out of hand. I’ve been experimenting with the concept for about a year now after realising that “REICH” and “RICH” are very similar words and going […]
1. They’re feral, like all elves are until the age of 100 or so. Up until that point they dwell in the forests in caves, or improvised lean-tos; they hunt with their nails and teeth,…
1 – FINGERNAILS. And toenails. They rip ‘em out with pliers, and fix them to their own scabby, pallid skin with staples. (The “scales” function as a kind of armour, weirdly.) 2 – THEIR LAST…
Eoin Dooley has recently been running the Blood & Dust quick-start adventure for Spire. What follows is an account of their first session. Be aware this will have spoilers for the adventure. — Blood &…
1. Aluminium. The other dragons make fun of it because it’s weaker than they are; it has hollow metal bones, great feathered wings, and its maw is more beak than teeth. Instead of gouts of…
1 – A roiling tornado of bone. Looks like a spell got out of hand; this thing has been spiralling through the catacombs for years, bashing open coffins and adding the contents to itself. The…
1 – It’s run by the fey, and alongside the coat-check, you can hand in your reflection for the evening as well. Without a reflection, your soul doesn’t get stained from sin, so you can…
1 – Another church. Older, for a different religion; lots of crows, tapestries of a great and terrible crown. Roll again on this table to see what’s under this one. 2 – A roiling mass…
1 – Television static. The black-and-white snow on detuned televisions shows echoes of the big bang, and it’s this cosmic afterbirth that sets the monster’s teeth on edge. You’re not entirely sure why (and you’re…
We’re trying out some new stuff as we’re having a look at overhauling the stretch goals on the Hearty Dice Friends patreon, and one of the first ones is a show called World Apart where…
1 – Justice. And not the wishy-washy, platemail-clad shining sword shite that the other paladins talk about – actual, legal, by-the-book justice. You have an encyclopedic knowledge of the laws of the land, which is…
