    One Dungeon, Two Maps

    ByScot Newbury February 17, 2015February 17, 2015

    Mark over at Dust Pan Games shares with us his take on what a GM map should be versus what a player map should be. There’s a lot of good information in the post as Mark covers what he considers the distinct types of ares in a dungeon. Transition rooms – the areas between points of…

    The reward doesn’t have to sparkle

    ByScot Newbury February 17, 2015February 16, 2015

    It’s often overlooked but not every reward handed out needs to be a shiny and sparkly item. Of course, that’s the way the rules seem to be written that way, every time you accomplish something there needs to be a monetary reward attached, but as Creighton Broadhurst points out on his blog, that doesn’t have to…

    Big group? No problem, split them up and have them help

    ByScot Newbury February 13, 2015July 6, 2015

    Ed over at Geek Native recently wrote about something that many GMs would love to have an issue with – an overfilled gaming table. While most of us would be happy and more than capable of handling a group of players in the 3-6 range, Ed found himself with 10 players around his table. Most of…

    Home-brew seems to be the way to go

    ByScot Newbury January 20, 2015January 20, 2015

    A couple of weeks back I asked folks if they prefer home-brew or published settings and I would like to first thank those that took the time to comment on that post (or on Google+) – I really appreciate it. It would seem, based on the responses, that readers of the blog lean toward the…

    Home-brew or Published?

    ByScot Newbury January 5, 2015January 5, 2015

    I thought I would start the year off polling the community at large, do you use a home-brew campaign setting or do you prefer to use a published campaign? I’ve never been a big fan of published campaign settings, it just a personal taste. I’ve always preferred creating my own setting, pulling together all the…

    ByScot Newbury November 4, 2014November 24, 2017

    The stakes have been pulled out of the ground (and a few corpses) and the RPG Blog Carnival has moved over to Roleplaying Tips to talk about races, but before you head over there to find out what’s going on, here’s a quick run down of the October posts. One last thing before we get…
