    Describe your last RPG session in more than 5 words.

    Time to write a new adventure! Heh. In this case, it was merely a Giant Angry Hogweed (of course). The toxic sap rained down on the PCs after the artificer blew it up.

    Weird rules interpretations you've encountered?

    When my brother and I first start playing in 1980, we didn't understand that the dungeon map was meant to be a secret. We played with the map out on the table. Whenever the party walked by a secret door, everyone would roll their d6s until they spotted it. 🤪

    What is your favorite spell for Urban magic?

    In a recent GURPS Monster Hunters session, the witch cast a spell called "Hall of Records" from GURPS Thaumatology: Ritual Path Magic. It's pricy (55 energy), but gives the caster access to the fabled Akashic Hall of Records where they can research almost any topic. (The Akashic Records...

    Do you need or prefer physical dice when playing?

    I strongly prefer to use real dice for in-person games. I can't say that I have to use them because there are circumstances where I'll make an exception. Most commonly this happens when I want to roll for something out of an unusual number (e.g., "1 to 7") or, as a GM, when I need to roll for a...

    N1 Against the Cult of the Reptile Gods MAPS

    I just reread the "Cults and Corruption" section from Serpents of Legend and it is a gold mine of material for a GURPS Dungeon Fantasy adaptation of N1. I'm going to build my cultists using the disadvantage modules under "Cult Personalities" (pp. 48-49) and the "Nightmare Corruption" bit on pp...

    N1 Against the Cult of the Reptile Gods MAPS

    Four 300-point PCs (knight, swashbuckler, scout, and wizard). Obviously not the equivalent of 1st level AD&D characters! I had limited time for prep, so I just decided that any members of the cult would have access to "reptile spirit" power-ups. Probably different for each individual to make it...

    N1 Against the Cult of the Reptile Gods MAPS

    Excuse the necromancy, but I just ran a GURPS DF (well, DFRPG) session of Cult of the Reptile God this morning. It was a blast!

    The Notetaker role

    Most of my groups don't have formal player roles, but a few people usually take notes. The notes range from mostly objective to in-character, sometimes flowing back and forth depending on the player's whim. We still find them very useful, even when they are entirely in-character. As the GM, I...
