An Example of City Creation
Today I’m taking my Fantasy Settlement Creation System for another spin. Last time, I created a tiny village – the haunted hamlet of Grimwych.

A: Those damned hexes, obviously. The great thing about making battlemaps for indoor spaces like dungeons is that you can pass off the hexes… Continue reading My Campsite Battlemap for GURPS Dungeon Fantasy

But since I’m enjoying this exercise, today I thought I’d color in my sketch of Grimwych a little, so as to work it… Continue reading An Example of Village Creation II – Fleshing Out Grimwych
An Example of Village Creation
Today I’m taking my Fantasy Settlement Creation System for a spin, just to show how it works. This time, I’ll be creating a small hamlet. I’ve got no idea what’s going to happen next – we’ll see!

Punch Hitler!
Darren Watts, one-time owner of Hero Games, is running a Kickstarter for his new Golden Age Champions RPG book. The basic idea: you play superheroes fighting Nazis during the WWII era, in the style of the “Golden Age” comic books of the late 1930s and early 1940s. Fun stuff. As Darren says in the Kickstarter… Continue reading Punch Hitler!
