The World’s Loose Leaf album of Apartment Houses

I found the online version at the New York Library Digital Archive of “The World’s Loose Leaf album of Apartment Houses” (New York World in March 1910) hard to work with.  So I’ve compiled the highest resolution scans into a PDF for ease of use.  It includes a map of the area around central park, […]

Role Playing the Movies

Obviously there are RPGs that are licenced from movies.  Others often borrow (and sometimes outright steal) from movies, TVs and books then file off the serial numbers.  I’ve a couple of posts on borrowing inspiration from particular movies in the past and I always intend to write more so to chivvy myself along I’ve decided […]

Serpentine Pavilion 2015 Gallery

I took far too many photographs of this year’s Serpentine Gallery Pavilion by selgascano. This one seems a lot more fragile than previous pavilions and it was being repaired at least twice on the three times I visited.  But these Pavilions are temporary so its more appropriate in a way than some of the heavyweight, […]

1930s Film Star Portraits

I had an email asking about where I found the illustrations I used on the Bookhounds of MI5 so I’ve pulled them all together into a collection and added it to my Trail of Cthulhu resources page. And in case you’ve missed it the poll on how I should post RPG resources like this is […]

Bookhounds + MI5

I’m still working through the pictures I took of this years Serpentine Gallery Pavilion (down to 62 pictures so far). But I like this one so I thought I’d post it today.

A New 7-Sentence NPC

CM Cline in Dragon Magazine 184 (August 1992) presented The 7-Sentence NPC. Back then most of my NPCs either got a full page biography or a stat block. Over time I found moving to the middle ground the 7-Sentence NPC represents a handy tool. They have the advantage of being quick to read as a […]

Two London Panoramas (Almost Wordless Wednesday 40)

These two panoramas were taken from Tate Modern’s Members Room balcony overlooking the river Thames. The first (top one) was taken 5th July 2014 and the bottom one on 4th July 2015.

1920s Images for RPG Referees

I’ve uploaded the first of four sets of images for 1920s RPG referees (good for games like Call of Cthulhu and Trail of Cthulhu).  You can still vote on my poll on how I should compile them in future.
