    July 2015 Blog Carnival: Sheathing the Weapons

    ByScot Newbury August 29, 2015April 5, 2022

    The RPGBA Carnival moved on long ago (if you’re quick you catch up with it over at Creative Mountain Games) but the wrap up here never got posted. You have my apology for that so without further ado, here’s the wrap up of the legendary posts written for the Weapons of Legend carnival. In the…

    July 2015 Blog Carnival: Weapons of Legend

    ByScot Newbury July 1, 2015November 22, 2017

    They are unique, mythic, and transcend the mere ordinary, they are . . . Weapons of Legend and they are also the topic for this month’s RPG Blog Carnival. When someone speaks of a legendary weapon most folks immediately go to those that have been called out in stories for centuries or popularized in the…

    The Campaign Pitch

    ByScot Newbury March 30, 2015December 24, 2023

    When of Dice and Dragons turned nine last year, I mentioned that one of my goals was to finally get a new campaign off the ground. There’s been a bit of interest but nothing that I would say that’s catching fire and getting things going, and some of that is on me. Let’s face it,…

    Person, place or thing? What do you use to get started?

    ByScot Newbury March 23, 2015March 23, 2015

    Often the hardest thing to do when you get started on a new project, whether it’s a new campaign, story arc, or even a session, is to find inspiration. So my question to all of you is what do you use for inspiration? Whether you go to your favorite novels, movies, or music, I think…

    Plot Hooks – be careful not to have too many

    ByScot Newbury March 16, 2015March 16, 2015

      I came across another interesting post at Reality Refracted talking about plot hooks and asking the question, “How many should you have?” A.L. does a great job of making the argument that you should have as many plot hooks as you can handle as a GM: If possible, the GM should have infinite plot hooks…

    ByScot Newbury March 9, 2015March 9, 2015

      When I came across the above tweet from SlyFlourish in my feed the other day I tagged it as something to follow-up on as it hit a nerve with me. In one of my many roles at my day job I manage projects and tweet speaks to a tool used in Agile Project Management…
