  • I Read Rogue Trader (1987)

    I Read Games reviews are me reading games when I have nothing better to do, like read a module or write or play a game. I don’t seriously believe that I can judge a game without playing it, usually a lot, so I don’t take these very seriously. But I can talk about its choices… Continue reading

  • Bathtub Review: The Tragic Curse of Grimhill Fort

    Bathtub Reviews are an excuse for me to read modules a little more closely. I’m doing them to critique a wide range of modules from the perspective of my own table and to learn for my own module design. They’re stream of consciousness and unedited critiques. I’m writing them on my phone in the bath.… Continue reading

  • SLIMDNGN 0.7

    I just release a HUGE SLIMDNGN update this morning! In terms of rules revisions, it’s pretty minor except that I’ve excised the character rules entirely from what I’m now called SLIMDNGN CORE and have written 36 classes all with their own unique class sheets and rules specific to them, as well as spells lists and… Continue reading

It’s elegant as heck at the front end, and takes advantage of the power of 3d6, but because… Continue reading
