7th Sea 2nd Edition Likely Number of Raises
Saturday, June 25th, 20167th Sea 2nd edition uses an interesting mechanism to decide how well a character does with an action. I wanted to have some idea of how many raises a starting character is likely to have depending on their Trait, Skill and any bonus dice they might get. So I ran some simulations earlier using a […]
7th Sea 2nd Edition Traits
Saturday, June 4th, 2016Just a few thoughts about the patterns of points that can be assigned to Traits in 7th Sea 2nd Edition. In second edition the rules create only a few possible patterns for assigning numbers that make up a character’s Traits. Here they are ordered by highest Trait first… Trait Total Points A B C D […]

The Blog Post that Ran Away with Itself
Friday, September 25th, 2015As I’ve already mentioned in the Goldilocks Research Zone I started digging into a couple of obscure 1920s organisations. I can blame story on the BBC website that set me on the lead. I was toying with the idea of adding spies to a Bookhounds of Cthulhu campaign and it seemed to fit. So I started […]
Goldilocks Research Zone
Friday, September 18th, 2015In astronomy and astrobiology, the Goldilocks Zone is simply the habitable region around a star within which planetary-mass objects with sufficient atmospheric pressure can support liquid water at their surfaces.

I’ve assembled the scans of the out of copyright book into a PDF for ease of reading and printing. I’ve also done a rather rought and ready job of assembling two maps in the […]
A second set of 1930s Film Star Photos
Tuesday, August 18th, 2015I’ve added a second set of 1930s film star photos to my Trail of Cthulhu resources page. Lots of them handy for NPC portraits.
Pocket Junk and a little Light Reorganising
Friday, August 14th, 2015I’ve been moving some of my pages round over the last few days to try and make some of them a little less buried away. So all the pages that used to be under other peoples’ games are now just under games. I’ve also merged two blog posts about pocket junk into one and made […]
Gaming the Heist Movies
Monday, August 10th, 2015You’re Only Supposed to Blow the Bloody Doors Off appeared in Valkyrie Quarterly issue 25. I’m posting the original article online but I plan on adding to it and expanding it.
Role Playing the Movies
Friday, July 31st, 2015Obviously 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 […]
