7th Sea

7th Sea is set to return gloriously thanks to the massively successful Kickstarter!

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 […]

Pocket Junk

I first came across pocket litter a long time ago watching The Man Who Never Was (1956) based on the World War 2 deception Operation Mincemeat (1943).  If you’ve not seen it a small team from British military intelligence create a fictional Royal Marine Major William Martin, then allow a body dressed as the Major with […]

Ravenloft

By far my favourite AD&D / D&D campaign setting is Ravenloft.

SLA Industries

Nightfall Games published SLA Industries, a science fiction role-playing game, in 1993. I bought my first copy pretty much as soon as it was published. SLA was a breath of fresh air (or maybe that should be rank but fast-moving air) with a definite British sensibility.

Tabletop Games

The games you can find here are an odd mixed bag of rules for tabletop games I’ve collected over several years. These are write ups of traditional games. This isn’t a systematic collection more a junk shop miscellany of games I’ve come to have the rules for written out in electronic form already. Over time […]
