Some more Crypts and Things musings......

Been thinking about Luck and Sanity in actual play, thinking maybe static 10 for Luck and min 10 wisdom . Luck is kinda really important and a lower wisdom could be CRIPPLING with Sanity rules, as I'm not planning on switching for at LEAST four months(campaign has to EVOLVE) four months , I've got lot's of time to think about it.

Sanity stat in any D&D

I've looked for YEARS for a way to do this, I think Crypts and Things Remastered is THE way to go with this. Simple and Elegant. I could spoil it here but you peeps need to support D101 games, they are doing AWESOME stuff(although I am basing this solely on Remastered). C&T Sanity system I think will work well in actual play, we shall see.......

Crap!!

So THIS is actually post 200! Sigh. So I guess in addtion to being a luddite my math skills are very challenged. Just pretend the last one was 200. PLEASE! LOL, I can't believe I screwed this up ,LOL

With post 200 right around the corner.........

I really don't know why I'm so excited about reaching 200. 100 was a big deal w hits and I just sort of threw it away. 200 seems so much cooler! been working on it as a draft for a few days now.(I'm about 1/3 done on it) Hidden spoiler on blog(somewhere) says what it will be about. I know at least 3 of you have found it.
(Hell, 3 might be all there is for all I know!) Here's to 500!

Long Term Review Log

This is going to be my ongoing mini reviews of things not worthy of a full review, mostly because they are more popular and well known, but that will not always be the case . Also to cut down on my individual posts. Comics, Movies and books mostly.Some musings A dif version of my "Safety Valve."

Pre post 200 State of the blog

I'm really going to look at views on various posts and try and figure out what you peeps like.Remember "The safety valve" is going to be used so I don't over post. Going to try and keep it to 3-4 posts a day MAX, but who are we kidding(myself certainly!)? I got a lot of hits while I was gone, which is heartening. The reviews seem to be doing well so more of those. The Sundered World seems to be popular so Im gonna TRY and do better write up of my games in action. Sadly the spells are not popular so don't expect many of those.One of my big creative thoughts is pulling the trigger on "A dif way to Dungeon Crawl" really really love concept, really really really hate the idea of all that work. And of course LOTS of Crypts and Things, only DAYS till its out!!!!!!!!

Crypts and Things: The problem!

Ok, my finances took a nice up turn, I brokered a deal for $14,500 in Magic cards and came away with a NICE commission! So I have plenty of money for C&T now!!!!!!!! Now comes the decision. PDF or Print< or MAYBE BOTH! I could almost def get my wife to go along w both but I don't wanna play that card. I would rather have the print but I can buy PDF directly from D101 and they get all the money AND I get INSTANT satisfaction? I think the lure of PDF is too STRONG.

DM Blunders

I've spent too much time awau from Sundered Worlds/Stolen World. It's lost it's luster They are suposed to be the big replacement for Mysantia. Too much of what I had conceved I did'nt write down. New ideas are forming that make much of what I had in mind in question. I'm going to go back and try and get the spark back of what I was trying to achieve.

Playing Magic sensably

So MTG has sucked me in ...again. I can't tell you how many timed I've gotten in and out. This time I got sucked on by buying a few cards to use as illusstaion of D&D things,places buildings, monsters. I touched the catds so the crack on them stuck to my fingers and thus a 2 months sabbatical from other games.

My group plays just w/ my decks and over the last 3 years Ive acumulated hundreds of commons and uncommons to play with. My currant obsession is giants, it used to be angels. The power creep on the cards is very evidennt when you spend long periods of time away from the game. Literally thousands of older cards are unplayable due to this power creep.

Getting tired of it and back to RPing next week

An Old Dog CAN learn new tricks?

I haven't bought a modual in 35 ish years. The last one I used was I believe the Isle of Dread back in like 1982?.

I've always used homebrew adventures and been VERY sucsessful.

I just downloaded Petty Gods for free from RPG Now and it was amazing(for FREE I can't recommend it enuf!!!) It started me thinking. The state of the art in gaming online is so high these days that why arn't some of the canned adventures worthwhile. So I bought two.(both print) Am I getting old or have I learned a new trick? Only time will tell.

Stray Thought One

MONSTERS SHOULD TRY AND RUN AWAY,WAY MORE THAN YOU ARE DOING IT NOW! (me too)
