So, about a year ago, my newly hatch RPG blog hit a milestone, and it made me want to say thank you to everyone who had taken the time to check out the page. I offered one free NPC of their choice to anyone who commented on a certain post with what they were after. It was that simple, and very...

For the past year I have sporadically posted on my blog about historical weapons and how to apply some real world stuff to your fantasy role playing games. These have been hugely popular posts, and whenever I've talked about them on various forums, they've all sparked some very interesting...

I have spent the last year running a Cyberpunk 2020 game, and having a great time with it, but in the back of my head I've been looking forward to my next experience as a player. I love being a GM, but come the end of the summer, I'll be in an RPG designed and created by a couple of mates of...

I like the idea o that, but I'm trying to keep the tat line simple, and even cut down on the number of skills, hence wanting to make it work with a skill that alreay exists - Bargain - but I have plenty time to play test ideas out, so lets give it a shot and see what happens!

There are some games out there that make great use of shopping in game to promote a stylistic feel. CP 2020 does this brilliantly, being all about style over substance, but in most other games, i can really do without worrying about each individual coin and where my next drink is coming from...

Good morning everyone! I'm here to tell you about the Steampunk RPG that I'm working on, because the wold totally needs more Steampunk RPGs. I'll post on here when I have new developments, as this is very much a work in progress, and at the bottom of this post will be the link to the blog I have...

Big thank you to everyone so far! I have tried creating a card game before as a NaGa DeMon project and understand how important play testing is, and how variation is key. I'm hoping that it will be easier to get feedback on an RPG than a card game, as anyone should be able to just download the...

Drop in some World of Darkness, and it's an oh so familiar story for me too.

Based on a previous thread, I know we have a lot of GMs on here. Who has taken a swing at creating their own game though? I have recently decided to take a shot at it, so i thought I'd open the chat up to see if anyone has any advice to offer on pitfalls to avoid and ways to reduce hassle...

I'm lucky enough that playing with stangers only happens through choice, such as at the student nationals gaming tournament, but it's only for a couple of days, and all done in good humour. usually while hung over...

This happened to me about ten years back, and I stopped GMing for a good few years. It just took me coming up with an idea that I loved enough to risk it, and I was right back in the game!

I would say that it happens to us all, but I'm lucky enough to be part of 50 member plus gaming society, of which at least half the members are in their thirties, myself included. I know I'm one of the lucky ones though.

I have been known to post on there on occasion, yes. Just working my way through their latest book to pop a review up on stuffershack.com, where I have a weekly column.

Hey there everyone! I'm still kinda new to this forum, and doing more loitering than posting, but I do have a question for the lot of you: Do you spend more time as a player or a GM? Quite a simple question I know, but it's just nice to get a handle on which direction people will be commenting...

The characters are in fact cyrogenic wake ups. They have had everything about themselves stored on a system somewhere. If you've read the comic book Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis, you might know what I'm talking about.. Sadly I'm new to this forum, so can't post links just yet. If you can...
