"The Underworld" - From Mythic Bastionland's Quickstart Mythic Bastionland captured my attention when the quickstart came out, and—having now run a few games in it—it's amazing how simple and versatile it is. That said, all characters are knights sworn to Seek the Myths, Honor the Seers, and Protect the Realm. While this does create fun stories that swing from Monty Python's Quest for the Holy…
Beware what you wake in the dark... At some point last year I bought Mothership, and after reading through the player's survival guide I decided to give it a shot. I ran some friends on the GLoG server through a space station as they tried to rescue... someone. There were lots of laughs along the way (My ma' was a robot!), but I'd hardly call it horror. A little disappointed, I put it back on the…
"What if all the Ghibli movies—or stories very like them—were happening in the same world?" That was the question behind West of Lune , a setting I've started to poke a little bit. No doubt it will evolve beyond this initial question, but a rich world of spirits, nature, and growing up in the shadow of war is a vibrant seed to begin with. Also it has a forbidden tea shop in the middle of the map.…
I 've been desperately trying to get this out before Halloween, and HERE IT IS! https://shadowandfae.itch.io/harwood This idea struck me a few weeks back while I was watching Over the Garden Wall and reading "Where the Dark Stands Still" I knew if I didn't get on it soon, I'd never finish it at all. It's been a very fun little hex crawl to write, but I must confess it is not fully play-tested.…
Death & Divinity Artist Unknown Look upon the world, how rain falls, trills down the hillsides, pours into the rivers and seas, and rises again as mist in the air. If our world is so careful to conserve the stuff of rivers and seas, how careful shall we suppose it to be with the stuff of souls? And yet, as one can never step in the same river twice, it is known that no being is ever truly reborn.…
You're Hex-Crawling. Each night and day the Referee rolls a handful of dice, waiting for the opportune moment... There it is! She rolls the d12, because bell-curves are for cowards , and peers down a sheet of notebook paper to see which interesting encounter she's about to throw at her fatigued, over-encumbered party on their way back from her dungeon . She rolls a few dice, smiles, and announces:…
GLoGtober continues! The first challenge I rolled, but second I've now completed, is "Anime-Inspired Content". While I watch a little anime, I've never considered writing anything strongly inspired by it. I wrote about 3 half-baked generic systems before giving up and watching an anime I've never seen before. The show is about an MMO guild-master who finds himself pulled into the game after the…
By Harikayu The second challenge I rolled for GLoGtober 2024 (but the first one I've finished) was a 300 word hack. I give you: Winter Wyrm Tiny GLoGhacks have been my jam for a while now. I've written 2 or 3 over the years, the most notable one being MiniGLoG , but even that game is 1100 words long. Winter Wyrm was nuts. It's probably horribly broken, but it is a complete GLoG in exactly 300…
It's (Almost) GLoGtober! TitleKnown This year's challenges have all been posted over on Glass Candles , and I've decided to take them on! The rules officially state that you can roll or choose on each of the challenge tables, so I made a little game of it. I would roll each challenge in order, but I gave myself two "Picks". After each roll, I could pick something else from the list if I wanted to,…
