More HeroForge Goodness

Slowly but surely, HeroForge is coming up to speed and adding new functions and new options!  So here's Octavia yet again, this time a little more stylishly dressed and with a more accurate hairdo.

Also, with my last post in mind, I did a little extra tinkering about and came up with this...a happy little Equine-blooded Halfer with an avid interest in premeditated self-defense and a burning desire for fiscal improvement, ready to hire on to any passing ship that needs a spare hand.  Say hello, Mieko!
If I ever figure out her stats, I'll post 'em.  If  I were to play the pre-gens, I'd probably shoot for the Drifter (Impoverished Scoundrel Explorer) or the Wrecker (Rustic Clandestine Industrial).

Crossovers for Fun and Profit!

As some of the folks with whom I correspond on certain online gaming forums are only too well aware, I have a major jones for trying out Uncharted Worlds.  However, I'm also fond of certain OSR material, so when someone I shan't name (to protect his reputation) posted an ad for an old black-box Traveler game, I jumped at the chance. It's been a very, very long time since I had any chance to put my copy of Trav to any use, so I hauled it out and started rolling dice, and as often happens found more inspiration than I expected!  So for your amusement, I present two versions of Dame Lieutenant Commander Marguerite Francesca Krakeni . There are two versions because along with my tendencies toward low plagiarism (see previous posts), I also tend to recycle character concepts that I find enjoyable and interesting.  At the moment, only the Traveler version is going to be in play.

What, Me Playtest? First Impressions of Thirsty Sword Lesbians

So apropos of nothin' in particular, I got a PM from a guy I've known for ages out on a certain gaming forum.  In brief, he wrote something along the lines of "have you heard of this?  It seems to be relevant to your interests" and tagged on a URL.   This URL, to be precise. Well, no, I hadn't, and I spent part of my lunch hour looking up the site over at Evil Hat.  And then my feminine side, who you may have gathered is a frisky little Anthro at the calmest of times, imaginarily grabbed my collar, gave me a vaguely predatory grin, and in my mind's ear said, more or less, "do it for Steph!" And that , dear readers, is how I volunteered to help playtest something called Thirsty Sword Lesbians, once again finding myself looking over a game that my dear friend would have enjoyed quite thoroughly.  Because yes, it is more or less what it says on the tin: Lesbians, with swords, thirsting for relationships and romance and all that shojo-ai cuddly goodn...

Swashbuckling and Chandler's Law

 The last couple of swashbuckling games I've been in have been slow(er) to start than they could be, and I think I've figured out why. We're used to starting with exposition, set-up, making opening moves like there's this huge chess game going on and all the pieces of the full plot arc have to be in place for plot to happen. Which is absolutely fantastic if you're doing Tolkien, Martin, Jordan, or Dumas ( pere )[1]. This has been the general slant of mainstream tabletop games for quite some time--overarching plots, all of which are carefully constructed ahead of time and known entirely to one person (or sometimes persons, if you happen to be using a dual-DM system...one for the story and the other for the mechanics). We're trained to think this way, react thusly, and sometimes the results just don't seem to fit. What should be a lively, fast-moving, cinematic game of flashing blades and brilliant quips feels in practice more like a whodunnit that proceeds wi...
