An occasional #TTRPG thought I have: we lose a lot of gaming history because of licensed materials. I've heard how great the Ghostbusters RPG was. I know and love d6 Star Wars (2e R&E was mine), and have a new appreciation for RM, which I know through MERP.

But because they're licensed properties, they don't exist anymore. Can't reprint, licenses sold to others. Not gone, just rare and hard to get.

OK, that's enough news this morning. Everyone, post some of your favorite Dragon Magazine covers. Here's mine, from Issue 126 by Daniel Horne. I didn't actually encounter this piece in Dragon Magazine; I saw it repeatedly used by TSR in other promotional materials and fell in love with it.

#Fantasy#FantasyArt#Magazine#Dragon#DND#TTRPG

A giant, armor-clad skeleton bursts out from the snow. It wields a massive axe in one hand and arrows and broken sword blades stick out of it's undead remains. It looms over a surprised woman with long, brown hair wearing leathers and fur-trimmed winter clothes. She's knocking an arrow in her longbow in reaction to the undead monstrosity. She's in trouble, as her quiver is empty. A snow covered forest and mountains are in the background. The Dragon masthead is yellow and the rest of the text on the magazine cover is a darker grey that stands out against a yellowish-light gray background.

Had a post from Grognardia show up in my feeds today reminding me of this excellent post from A Knight at the Opera analyzing why the simple mostly black cover of Classic Traveller is so effective:

The distress call really does set a mood better than most any illustration I've seen on an RPG cover.

I may be feeling like hammered garbage with a cold this morning, but that doesn't mean you go without content, albeit recollected content. Here are four articles containing recommendations for tabletop role-playing games and war games this Christmas season.

I mostly finished creating all of the worlds in the Foreven sector for my ongoing #Traveller campaign.

Most of them were randomly generated, a few were designed, and a handful were taken directly from various Traveller/Cepheus books. I used the TravellerMap site to generate my own map and booklet.

I'm going to tidy it up a bit, and make a final version for my players. Will most likely post it on my blog as well.

I am currently OBSESSED with Hero Forge. I made minis for my Wednesday night #TTRPG group, and now I'm making NPCs. This is a Fremen I'm working on.

I remember using Hero Forge years and years ago, and all the features they've added are REALLY nice. Like, just being able to repose the mini and having fine control over arm and hand positions is so, so cool.

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
― Ursula K. LeGuin, paraphrasing J.R.R. Tolkien

One of the less-talked-about benefits of metacurrencies (fate points, hero points, etc) is that it allows me, as a GM, a quick, easy, and direct way of compensating players whenever I make a mistake. #ttrpg

#RaidMetal The rules are where I want them. Now working on a unit building system so I can come up with some testing scenarios. Catch is making them as simple as the rules yet workable!
