No good words

I believe Mandy. I believe Jennifer. I believe Hannah. 


I believe Vivka. 


The manipulation, abuse, and pain they describe are unacceptable to me. I informed my players that our current campaign is immediately at an end. There was unanimous agreement.

May Mandy, Jennifer, Hannah, Vivka and any other victims be surrounded by genuine kindness, friendship, and love.

This blog is no longer a thing I am proud of. Too much of it reads as an endorsement of a person who deserved none. I plan to delete all of that content. Not to hide my shame at not realizing sooner, but so that no positive word about Zak S remains to influence anyone.

    I understand why you're doing that, and I respect it. But for what it's worth, I still think you should be proud of what you created here. I really enjoyed your blog and your clever tools, and I hope you keep creating.

    Your next campaign will be your own. Your future posts will intentionally endorse people who do deserve it. Your blog will become something you can feel proud of again.

    Your blog is my favourite thing going right now on the RPG blogosphere. When the news hit and the implications began settling in, my first thought was of this blog and what you would do. I just want to let you know that whatever you do, I personally have found you to be an incredibly insightful and engaging writer who produces high-quality content for your players and readers alike. I hope you keep adding to this blog, and I hope you are as engaged with and content-heavy with your next campaign as you were with this one.

    Thanks, everyone.

    I do plan to continue writing, and will start by rewriting some of the deleted posts. There are things in there that deserve to stand on their own. A new campaign will come, but for now, a break would be nice. I've been grinding at the referee wheels hard lately. I want to let somebody else in our group take over and try being a player again.

    At least until Silent Titans arrives because, wow, that looks great.

    And to be clear, I make no moral judgement about what anybody else does with their campaigns, already bought books, or already written blogs. This was the decision that was right for me and my group.

    Don't let a terrible person's shitty history unfairly impact your good works and creativity. Keep doing what you do, continue moving forward, and leave people in the dust who are unworthy of ever again being named.

Skull Rabbits and The Pale Lion

A silly kitbash I did ( "What if _______, but skull??" ) that felt afterwords like it needed lore: Skull Rabbits appear much like regular white rabbits -- aside from the antlers and red eyes. They are little threat on their own. They flee quickly at sign of danger like any rabbit would. Even the antlers are about as ineffective as you'd expect on an animal of such small size. But better for you that it should flee than you should approach one quietly or see one accidentally. Lock eyes with one, and it will stare right back. Then the rabbit's head will take the shape of a bare human skull. Your skull. And your thoughts will fill with the fear and certainty that "That is my skull. It shares my skull." The Skull Rabbit will hop away. From that point onwards, you can no longer sleep. Because the Skull Rabbit does not sleep. Whenever the Skull Rabbit feels terror -- at the low level that's constant for rabbits or overwhelming at the sight of predators -- you ...

A Simple Resource Management System for Into the Odd

Rules without the commentary available here . My mind is still on resource management systems.  Into the Odd  ( ItO ) doesn't have one and, to be honest, doesn't need one. Plenty of tension to be found via description rather than tracking individual rations. ItO is lightweight, fast, and runs great if you simply assume that, as written, the expedition always has food, water, light, camping & climbing equipment.  So why bother with managing resources?  Character customization Like with Ben Milton's new Knave  ( http://questingblog.com/knave/ ), I like the idea of a character's role being determined by what kind of equipment they are carrying. Want to be a "fighter" in a classless system like ItO ? Carry large, powerful weapons and wear armor. Want to be a "magic user"? Carry lots of Arcana ( or spellbooks ). A "specialist" (to use the LotFP  term)? Carry lots of tools, poison vials, flashbangs, etc. But customization like th...

Dragon Warrior and How I Discovered Into the Odd

Continuation from Part 1 .  So I already talked about my quest to run dungeons for my players that feel as tense to them as Dragon Warrior 's dungeons did to me. I talked about trying a game, Torchbearer , that had systems built around emphasizing the things I thought that tension was about: the importance of light, limited resources, dwindling life. And about how I eventually found more of my mental energy going to managing those systems than to my campaign. Let's take a detour back to Dragon Warrior / Dragon Quest . More specifically, let's look at combat in Dragon Warrior . It's pretty basic. Only 4 actions to choose from: FIGHT, RUN, SPELL, ITEM. Seemingly worlds apart from the "free to try anything, and your referee will come up with a ruling" land of OSR and other tabletop RPGs. Even by comparison to other JRPGs, it looks like a limited and kind of boring list of choices. Compare it to, say, Final Fantasy 5 , with its huge system of jobs, skill...
