The Game Mechanic: June 2012
http://powerframe-rpg.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
An RPG designer's oddysey through various worlds and systems. Monday, 11 June 2012. In May and June 2012 I prepped some game material for a new Smallville campaign, set in a Renaissance Venice inspired fantasy city called Laguna. The title of the campaign comes from "piccola," Italian for "small", and Laguna, the name of the city. I'm sharing the resources here in case anyone has better luck than I! Some of them are incomplete, and have entries marked as "? I created a custom PiccoLaguna Pathways chart.

The Game Mechanic: PowerFrame Core Rulebook
http://powerframe-rpg.blogspot.com/2015/06/powerframe-core-rulebook.html
An RPG designer's oddysey through various worlds and systems. Wednesday, 10 June 2015. The PowerFrame RPG Core Rulebook. Is now up for sale on DriveThruRPG! It's been a long journey, but I finally made it! Today I'm going to talk about the system's history, and look towards the future. I started writing the very first draft of PowerFrame. About nineteen years ago, I think. This isn't one of those "X years in the making" stories, though; I realise that's not a selling point! However, I soon realised that,...

The Game Mechanic: August 2012
http://powerframe-rpg.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
An RPG designer's oddysey through various worlds and systems. Wednesday, 29 August 2012. Human blood also fuels her vampiric powers, but doesn't automatically make her closer to becoming a full vampire. If she drinks from a human she needs to make a Willpower roll; if it fails, she'll keep drinking until she's full or they die. If she kills a human in this manner, she will gain another dedicated point of Vampire blood. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Its a bit of an unusual campaign, so I thought Id talk a b.

The Game Mechanic: PowerFrame: Equipment
http://powerframe-rpg.blogspot.com/2015/05/powerframe-equipment.html
An RPG designer's oddysey through various worlds and systems. Monday, 25 May 2015. Only two more illustrations to go for PowerFrame. There was a bit of a lull in art production last week because I was working on a free introduction to the full rules. If you like what you see, please consider joining the Google Community. Now I'm back to working on the last few pieces, starting with some equipment. There's not a lot to say about equipment, really! The pictures above are from the Specialist Gear section wh...

http://powerframe-rpg.blogspot.com/2015/05/powerframe-ability-descriptions.html
An RPG designer's oddysey through various worlds and systems. Wednesday, 27 May 2015. Only one more picture to go for PowerFrame! It's going to be a fairly large and involved piece, though, and I still have a little bit of proof-reading and last-minute edits to do, but I'm still looking good for a June release! In the meantime, if you haven't seen it yet, please check out the free Rules Primer! This second-last picture is for the Ability Description section, illustrating the Tech Ability. Rather than hav...

The Game Mechanic: March 2012
http://powerframe-rpg.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
An RPG designer's oddysey through various worlds and systems. Monday, 26 March 2012. SamuraiVille Episode 0: Pathways. In March 2012 we ran through pathways for our first Smallville game - set in the Japanese Warring States period. This series of articles was originally posted in a thread on RPG.net. For this first (rather long) post, indented text is lifted straight from the original post, and regular text is me adding notes and context. The important thing to keep in mind is that Smallville pits charac...

chirine's workbench: Other Voices, Other Lives
http://chirinesworkbench.blogspot.com/2015/05/other-voices-other-lives.html
Something about gaming in the world of Tekumel, with miniatures and other sundry amusements, and all for the fun of it. Friday, May 15, 2015. Other Voices, Other Lives. We didn't care, back then. We didn't care more recently, either. This is not the post I planned on making today; I'll be back later with some photos of the new Ral Partha figures for you. There's a link over in the left-hand column, too. Well, neither can I; I never really asked, as it just didn't seem to be any of my business. Heck, ...
